The female lead Guan Xia-tong (Ivelyn Lee) is convinced that anything that can go wrong in her life will (Murphy's law) and has what she feels is a big confirmation when her boyfriend of several years breaks up with her citing the fact he has to marry someone in his same social class. That same night, in the same location, Ji Jia-wei (Danson Tang), sets up a proposal for his girlfirend, only to be rejected. Both are heartbroken and both take very different paths to heal their broken hearts. Guan Xia-tong becomes known as the Love Doctor as she provides dating services and advice from a psychological perspective at the matchmaking service where she works. Ji Jia-wei sets up a divorce service at an office across the street which helps people by showing them how to uncouple well. It's not long before parallels are found between the two business ventures and the male and female leads find themselves collaborating on projects and working together a lot. There are others who are romantically intersted in each and they have to navigate that as their feelings begin to grown. Ji Jia-wei is very different from the idealized man Guan Xia-tong believes is ideal for a relationship.
For me this was very formulaic. That is not always a bad thing but without some major plot twists, comedic moments, or surprises - I felt like the story dragged and was very predictable. It got better 3/4 of the way through and there was definitely some chemistry between the leads although it took an exceptionally long time for them to kiss. Those that watch Asian drama know it is not until the kiss until you know the two are going to be together. I really liked the 2nd guy and he said some things that I wanted to be able to say the "get a grip" sort of things. I loved the dog in this - and I could tell from the active comments I wasn't the only one who was a huge fan of the dog. I liked the way this ended a lot more than some or I might have rated it lower based on the moments where it felt predictable and the story dragged. Worth the watch definitely.
