Description
As a newcomer actress, Yan Man gained fame in her first month in the industry—simply because she was openly pursuing Ye Lin, the top-tier idol sensation. However, all fans knew that Ye Lin, with his godlike beauty, aloof demeanor, and prideful indifference, had remained above worldly desires for years, rejecting all rumors of romantic entanglements. Thus, when news of their connection broke out for the first time, emotions ran high among fans. CP haters: [“Get lost! Not even dogs would ship them!”] On the day filming wrapped up, Yan Man decided to give up her pursuit and cut ties with him. She spent the night editing a heart-wrenching BE (Bad Ending) video, declaring their story officially over. No one expected that the video would go viral. On the first day, someone dug up footage showing Ye Lin’s heart rate spiking to 135 when Yan Man took off her coat because she felt hot. On the second day, it was discovered that in a scene where the female lead was supposed to force a kiss while the male lead avoided it, behind-the-scenes footage revealed Ye Lin actually responded… Day three, day four… By the end of the first week after Yan Man’s “first love” ended, the Yan-Ye CP had exploded in popularity. CP fans: [“How can you not ship this? I’m fully invested now!”] While the buzz around the video eventually died down, the heat of their CP only grew stronger. Countless photos were leaked, and “after-service sugar” kept fans satisfied. The media began to suspect that everything was orchestrated by Yan Man herself. In response, Yan Man distanced herself with a classic three-step denial: “I don’t know, I’m not sure, I don’t recognize.” That night, Ye Lin responded on Weibo: [“Don’t guess wrong—it was me who posted those moments. Is the sugar sweet enough?”] Top comment: “Even your clarification has to rhyme perfectly with your wife’s?!” When the main characters themselves start feeding sugar, it’s absolutely lethal! Later, Yan Man rose to fame through sheer talent, becoming a top-tier actress. Everyone noticed that Ye Lin, who had always refused to take flights, traveled nearly ten hours from China to Sydney just to drag Yan Man—who had been dancing with an old male classmate—into his car. Two hours later, when Yan Man was finally let out of the car, her eyes were red, and despite the summer heat, she wore a scarf. Furious, she kicked the car door, but the man leaned out of the window, smirking as he gently pinched her flushed earlobe. #After BE, we’re trending!# #You say you don’t like it, but your actions speak otherwise, huh?# #Who’s obsessed? I mean, I’m obsessed.# Chatterbox Beauty x Cold and Alluring ——You are the light that pulled me from a chaotic world back into the vibrant human realm.

My Thoughts on Cherry Smoothies
"Cherry Smoothies" promised a sweet and lighthearted romance, and for the most part, it delivered. It's the kind of story you pick up when you want something easy to digest, something that'll leave you with a smile, and a few chuckles. Overall, I found it to be an enjoyable read with a few caveats.
First Impressions
The initial premise is undeniably cute: a bright, talkative female lead chasing after a seemingly cold and aloof male lead. It's a classic setup, and I was curious to see how the author would subvert or play with the familiar tropes. The showbiz setting added an extra layer of intrigue, promising glimpses into the lives of celebrities and the dramas that unfold behind the scenes.
What Works Well
The strength of this story lies in its female lead. She's described as being incredibly chatty, to the point where it's almost a physical need for her. What could easily become an annoying quirk is instead portrayed as endearing. Her constant chatter is amusing, and it's easy to see why the male lead and side characters are drawn to her. The author did a great job of making her charming and likeable, even when she's being a bit much. I also appreciated the light-hearted tone of the story. It doesn't take itself too seriously, and it's perfect for when you just want to escape into a fluffy romance.
Areas of Concern
I did find myself getting a bit bored with the "inside stories" – the dramas and plays that the characters were involved in. They felt a little forced and cliché, and I didn't find them particularly engaging. It felt as though they were simply vehicles for the leads to kiss and make out, which detracted from the overall experience. I also felt the story was very slow to develop, especially at the start. The female lead chases the male lead and then gives up before the male lead falls for her seemingly randomly.

Final Verdict
Despite its flaws, "Cherry Smoothies" is a fun and enjoyable read. If you're looking for a lighthearted romance with a charming female lead and don't mind a bit of cliché, this might be the story for you. Just be prepared to skim through some of the less interesting "inside stories" and slow development at the start. I'd give it a solid 3.5/5.
