S Q
havent't watched anything THIS good in a long time
I'm a fan of all the actors in this movie... I know most of them from previous works and i totally enjoy seeing them again. They are more than pretty faces! (Well, it doesnt hurt that they are pretty.) The young cast is also excellent, both in looks and acting skills, and the plot is really entertaining! The word for this is FRESH approach. The drama also conveys motivational messages and all, so it's got everything you could expect from it: action, mystery, suspense, comedy, bromance, family issues, self-achievement, compassion etc.I'm really happy to have found this little gem.

keeps me entertained!
I came to this after scrolling through a lot of boring & cliche dramas... Well, not the reputed ones - because i must've seen them all by now! So, i just stumbled on this, and here i am - totally ENCHANTED by the dynamics and actors!It surely is far from perfect, but at least it's something new, i mean - crazy new. And the plot & characters are so engaging! Even though i can clearly see the weak spots of this drama, i will continue watching it for now!! The comments i read so far dont do it justice, since you dont have to be so strict on this romcom combined with melodrama!
If i were to have an objection? Here it comes: The two women are way too similar, not only in looks, but character too! It also becomes creepy for the ML... Shouldnt the second FL have something to her own, besides being uneducated?? SMH
Side note: i confess i watched it on fast forward way too often, but - if you have time - all small talk is really nice. It's just that i hardly ever enjoy slow pace dramas... My bad : (
I dont know abt rewatch, but for now it's so smooth on the eyes!

watch it just for the gorgeous ML !
Such a cliché rom-com that i wouldn't know where to start... The plot is hardly there, the FL has a weak scene presence, even the tropes lack quality of execution. BUT... all the credit goes to the ML who definitely saves this show being gifted with all the necessary qualities and something extra: handsome, fit, classy, funny, versatile and unique! The sense of fashion is great - nice job from whoever did this. Also the secondary cast is excellent, starting with the male secretary, who teamed with the ML in "Noble, My Love" (still the ML grew up a lot in terms of personality since that), the eccentric former porn-star mother of the FL, the kitchen beauty and grumpy manager, the tiny child and even the black not-so-stray cat. Nice scenery too.I'm impressed with the acting talent of the ML, still as a side note i wonder... his features are all natural? He looks like a manga hero. I like him whatever the answer. <3

light-hearted action series with prettiest faces
And i mean, from main leads to passers-by/extras, you can just see some of the most attractive ppl around. I really cannot tell who is the most handsome guy here, they are all such eye candy. Action is just for fun, not much tension to keep you on the edge of your seat, the good guys always win, but this is also a good thing, since you can watch before sleep lol.The female cast is still weak... Very plastic-like, no personality. Except for the police woman and the police bunch - they are totally funny!
It could've been a great BL drama, the two main leads are very nice together and have a lot of chemistry, WAY BETTER than male lads + their respective girlfriends. Too bad it didnt go that direction.
You can watch in-between other dramas, then drop if seems too long, then pick up again...

boredom to the max
Nothing really happens in this drama, just the good-looking ML and FL walking to and fro while doing some annoying product placement - it's not even available in my area for God's sake! To summarize, it's just a looooooooooooooong commercial with a VERY - and i mean VERY - thin plot.About the office romance, i happen to watch something similar, Love Is Sweet, and im getting confused with these two, since they r both as unremarkable.
If you have a lot of time, you can check this while looking for something that matters.

is this a joke?
Nothing to complain abt acting, but the plot is so immature, like a high-schooler's diary. Everything seems to take place in the family's living-room... It must be very low budget! Conveniently the ML gets paired with the adopted sibling, and the real sibling falls for the only family friend and also business partner. Just a drama abt 4 people! Not to mention they are all rich & famous, after rising from rags due to being genius or something! The ML becomes an IT graduate and businessman as an orphan while raising two younger siblings. The adopted brother is also a top student. The "dumb" sister becomes a well-known actress over night etc. The setting for this is literally an average house, too big to be realistic as an orphans' house, and too small for 3 accomplished adults.Some side actions and characters are unnecessary, like the handsome doctor and the second fight with the gangsters.
This mini drama is saved by the excellent actors - special mention to the child actors!
Just watching out of boredom.

way too cheesy
Sadly, im dropping this at ep. 5, i cannot take it anymore, there is really no plot and no action, just two guys probing each other in the cheesiest way possible! A lot of unnecessary staring, music-fillers or whatever, BUT action! It's like 5-yrs boys star in this.Though the ML is gorgeous, i cannot take it anymore.

mediocre and boring
The male leads are ok, but the FL is quite unappealing, trying too hard to be funny and acting like a kid. Fake, in my opinion. Hardly any chemistry between the leads. The plot is hardly there, just some boring love dates. Very cliche while pretending not to be.The teacher FL is a kind of Mother Theresa, all the cast is there to admire and adore her. Her "teaching" means playing with primary school kids - once in a blue moon - while also tutoring in Math? Her parents oppose the marriage because the guy is RICH? Puhhhleasee spare me the nonsense! I really dont wanna see a mature intellectual woman pouting like a baby all the time and pretending to be cute while doing so. She is not even pretty with those exophthalmic eyes (sorry, no offense intended for those with this condition!).
Reviews keep saying that the FL is a strong woman. How is she strong if she needs to be saved from thieves or whatever and "feeling safe" at the ML's house? Same ML that spends a lot of money on her...
Also the supposedly rich, arrogant, overbearing, PLAYER ML seems to not have seen another woman before, the development between the leads is more or less ignored. The ML must be seeing another movie than us, his actions are full of lust towards this plain, prude woman like he is just back from the army. I really cannot...
A romcom as enjoyable as an old pair of slippers.

cheesy but nice cast
Just one more time Cinderella story... A poor but pretty college student - our FL - meets a rich handsome strong Prince Charming and they keep clearing misunderstandings and fall in love more and more. The FL is always in distress and needs to be saved, but the ML or his childhood friend - who accidentally bumped into the FL out of all - are always there ready to oblige. The ML gave a bad boy vibe at first, but sadly the idea got dropped later.The movie is full of tropes, but well executed, to the point you end up not noticing them. You can tell where the drama is headed from the start, so it gets kinda boring, though the slow flow is quite nice and realistic.
I reached half of the drama and nothing really happens, except for college life scenes.
I dont know why im watching this, i really miss a good lakorn full of drama in every episode.

cringey & fake
the english title is retarded - but very suited.a fast- paced drama - way too fast to be considered serious, very Kristino Olsen style lol. everything abt the plot is wrong and cringey: a man in his 40s hitting on a girl 20 yrs younger, mother and daughter loving the same guy, the daughter kinda stealing him from mom - who loved the ML for half of her life, then the drunk sex that leads to pregnancy?
no conflict whatsoever - just two ppl trying to come to an agreement after a drunken night together.
no chemistry - the FL herself is calling the ML "old man", and it says it all!
i have nothing against age gap movies, but they could've adjusted the context to make it happen gradually or something. though Pong is a fine actor, he totally shows his age in this drama. he looks bored!! the FL is pretty, but her acting skills need improvement. also, smelling the vanilla pod and talking vanilla and drinking vanilla - flavoured alcohol is not cute at all, is just abusing an old trope. who wrote this, a girl going through puberty?

it's got everything BUT romance!
This one is really entertaining... hardly a dull moment now and then! It has everything viewers could wish for - handsome actors and actresses, action, twists, comedy, melodrama... The balance between comedy and tragedy is unbeatable! The pace is good, fighting scenes got excellent choreography, actors are flawless! The ML and the FL are both gorgeous... BUT everyone in this drama is single and lonely! I admire the fact that the priest was all along true to his calling and never ever swayed, BUT how can no one in this drama have a family or at least some slight romantic interest??As most watchers previously noticed, the funniest thing is Father Kim getting angry: he throws a fit, breaks things and beats people left and right! The female prosecutor is also good (on my new favourites list)! And the villains are totally charismatic!
This being said, it's still one of the best dramas out there, period.

totally fun watch!
I'm always shocked to discover such young talents as our two ML's... And also in wonder at Taiwanese BL dramas, which are definitely a must watch! I enjoyed this a lot, it's a short series that keeps you entertained, though the second part is a bit draggy. The young actors - even the secondary cast, the funny ladies in office+ the vice president - are SOOOO ADDICTIVE & ENJOYABLE!I can hardly find any flaw in this... maybe the sad part before the final is not justified - and i can gladly rewatch such a pleasant light-hearted romcom.

not easy to beat this one!
I came to watch this after reading several reviews, and they were totally right! Despite being a low budget short series, this is really a gem! The young actors are awesome, and serious topics are approached in the most genuine comedic manner. I wouldnt miss this one!I dont know where i should start pointing the qualities of this minidrama, it has got literally everything... in a sexual manner: revenge, love, gender dilemma, couple dynamics, friendship.... You name it!
Not sure abt rewatch, but it certainly stuck with me for some time.

only young actors are this bold & genuine
It's quite the average story of coming of age while finding your - first - love, but it's totally well written and the young actors are SO HANDSOME AND TALENTED at the same time!? That you cannot but wonder how this little miracle happened...Despite being a long, 40-episode series, i hardly ever got bored, since episodes are short and also filled with NICE DETAILS OF EVERYDAY COLLEGE LIFE.
I totally enjoyed this unpretentious ride. It has got everything, from high-class cinematography to eye-candy actors and entertaining plot. It's predictable in a good way...
I wonder what filters Chinese movies use, all actors' skin looks paper white.
Recommended.

being tall and skinny is a must
The message of this drama is quite deep, with a dark touch and a lot of intense moments, and acting is GENIUS, even supporting cast is remarkable... BUT - and its a huge BUT - i couldnt always relate to it since all the cast is YOUNG TALL SKINNY PRETTY faces, and i couldnt - just couldnt - relate : ( You might wanna add that they are also RICH/ SUCCESSFUL...So, you only matter if you fall into that category? Even side characters have to be recruited at modelling agencies? Please move on from the ASIAN BARBIE world!
I admire the realism of the drama, conveyed at a superb low pace, but... AGAIN, ONLY GOOD-LOOKING PEOPLE MATTER?
Besides, this drama doesnt address LONELINESS... a challenge that most mentally-ill patients face. Everybody has got a loving partner supporting him/her through the treatment. For real??
I would've given this a 10 if they just hadnt been this narrow-minded while pretending to look at the inner side of people.
