Tessa cuts Lily's long hair short as punishment for leaving riding practice early, leading to a heated argument with Julia. Tessa tries to get Lily to ride an unruly horse at her horseback riding practice, but Julia notices Lily's fear and takes her home, to Tessa's annoyance. Lily wanders off in the arms of Tessa, who is complaining to David about Julia's incompetence as a mother. Another afternoon, Julia and Lily visit David at a farmer's market. She anonymously sends Julia a surprise flower delivery to make it appear to David she is having an affair. Tessa makes several attempts to win back David and be Lily's mother. The marriage ended after he suspected she was having an affair. At David's house, Julia is greeted by his ex-wife Tessa, who is not coping with the end of their marriage two years earlier. Overall, this is a wonderful drama not to be missed.Julia is currently doing remote work in a mansion with her fiancé David Connover and her soon-to-be stepdaughter Lily. Although some parts of the editing are lacking, it hasn’t turned into a disaster and ruined the story. Both main lead characters are mature with a tsundere ML and a warm and approachable FL.
The parent-child dynamics are really fun to watch. It’s funny and light, especially when it comes to dealing with the child. This is a very enjoyable drama most romance buffs will love.
And of course, there are the side couples who are also the best friends of our ML and FL. Even at times of helplessness, she still smiles with tears and resignation in her eyes.Ĭhinese dramas will not be complete without some tropes such as arranged marriage for economic benefits which is not much different from marriages of the old days among the royals. Here as a child psychologist, she is soothing and gentle. I find her charismatic with an air of freshness and authenticity. I have liked Hu Yi Xuan’s acting in “Sleepless Princess”. Their love development is gradual and solid. She finds He Qiao Yan a weirdo initially but moved by him when she sees his devotion for the child who is not his, and his consideration for her well-being unspoken. Despite being a doctor, she is not very health conscious as she feasts on junk food. Qin Yi Yue is disorganized, intelligent and quick witted. His acting is so convincing with small little facial expressions such as a raise of the corner of his eyebrow, a blur look on his face etc, capturing all the essence of his character. But he grows on me and by the end of the drama, I find him the most eligible single father to die for. At the first look, he didn’t appeal to me. He Qiao Yan may be a genius in everything but is an idiot in love relationship. Despite being an immaculate person, I really love how he acts to protect Qin Yi Yue by dropping everything he’s doing and come to her rescue. In other words, He Qiao Yan is a boring person and Wei Zhe Ming captures that 100%. He doesn’t understand human relationships and has lived a monotonous life. He Qiao Yan is a person who doesn’t express his emotions very well and openly. What seemingly two very different personalities, he is meticulous and analytical, and she is spontaneous, come together and form an enviable family with a ready-made son. The family dynamics are warm and pleasing. He misses and thinks of her whenever she’s not around, and he would find ways and means, using Xiao Bao as an excuse, to see her. Little does he know he falls head-over-toes in love with Qin Yi Yue himself. Seeing how readily He Wei Fei aka Xiao Bao (Lennon Sun) takes Qin Yi Yue in as his own mother, He Qiao Yan coerces Qin Yi Yue into a contract, with high compensation, to be a pretend mother of Xiao Bao and a pretend Mrs He, for he is a “number” guy who does everything in black and white. The outcome is ineffective and hilarious until he meets Qin Yi Yue (Hu Yi Xuan), a child psychologist. He loves and dotes on the child, at the same time tries to discipline him like an adult. He (pronounced as “her”) Qiao Yan (Wei Zhe Ming aka Miles Wei) is the CEO of a conglomerate owned by his family and a single father. What seemingly a fake relationship and marriage that initially try to address the psychological issue of the boy by giving him a complete family that he craves, have become a real outcome as the fake parents fall in love. A child is always the center of attention, and here this cutie is the most adorable child in recent dramas. All the characters are lovable despite each has his/her flaws, making them believable. But how the story is being told and how everything unfolds make this drama a very worthwhile watch.

How to be a Family The idea of a contract marriage, and seemingly a child from a previous marriage, didn’t appeal to me initially.
