Whoever wrote this, either had several little girls of their own, or had spent a lot of time caring for some. Little girls ARE sugar and spice, people without them though tend to focus on the sweet and not the spice - that is a little girl who knows how to work the system and get daddy to do EXACTLY what she wants! Little ones at that age are also far smarter than many people (again, those with kids know but those without? Usually not a clue!) realize. They can see angles that no adult would ever come up with and know how to get to the end goal they want. The writers really did a good job with this! The little actress did a great job as well.
The writer is Zhao Lin and the director is Zeng Qing Jie. The pair also did Provoke, The Killer is Also Romantic and Butterflied Lover. Both are men and when working together have magic.
A Familiar Stranger is my favorite shorter c drama. Watching Yuangbao being such a clever and fun girl makes me want to watch a spin off of her parents love story... Whomever she inherited the great character and traits general Qin of his bride... I know they are both dead but still... It would be great to see their antics❤
