I didn't watch "Begin Again" when it premiered in 2020. This drama has been rerun several times and received good ratings. Thus, I decided to give it a try this year. It's really worth watching!

The theme is bold and groundbreaking - A CEO convinces a hot young doctor to marry her for one year. At first, I found the covenant marriage storyline not very compelling. However, as I continued watching, I was attracted by the great chemistry and acting skills between the main leads, Zhou Yutong and Gong Jun! Their interactions are super funny and sweet. They made me smile and laugh throughout the entire drama.

Their character developments are well written. I hope Zhou Yutong and Gong Jun will star in another drama together.

A total Simon Gong fan now. This drama is heartwarming and the main leads make such a sweet couple. A must watch 10/10 rating for me. Enjoy. Loved the chemistry between the leads.

Wow, Begin Again gave me the feels. Even though marriage of convenience is a common trope in tv drama, there is a refreshing twist in the execution of the trope.

Zhou Yu Tong is the standout as Lu Fang Ning, a CEO of big conglomerate. She's hardworking, assertive and passionate about her work. Yu Tong was brilliant in expressing Fang Ning's emotions, assertiveness & cheekiness. I rarely cried watching dramas but the quarrel scene in episode 12 was 💔 because of her acting.

She had great chemistry with Gong Jun, who played Fang Ning's quiet and shy husband. It's great that both Fang Ning and Ling Rui are in different industries because they supported each other in their own ways. It's good to see them grow as individuals (there is a time jump in this drama).

Garvey Jin & Wu Man Si were adorable together despite shorter screen time. I wish their ending was done differently.

I'd say Begin Again is one of my favourite cdramas. Watch it if you like these categories: smart & independent woman, female lead pursuing male lead, brilliant acting.

I don't usually like to watch romantic comedies but Begin Again is definitely an exception! This is a just really good drama with a fast-paced plot that is funny and sweet in the all the right places. I really liked the role reversal between the two leads, with the female lead being the strong-headed rich CEO and the male lead taking on the softer and more caring role, makes it a lot more interesting. It helps that the male lead is really smart and charming, and the female lead is strong and successful in her own right. The other characters are really interesting too and I especially love the friendship between the female characters. A must-watch for romcom lovers!
