Heartwarming, age gap, good quotes, cute male lead and annoying romcom cliches
This drama would've been so much better if they didn't push the office part so badly, A lot of people started this drama because of cute and heartwarming scenes between leads but the hack issue and office thing put me so off, The Female lead annoys me for the way she treats male lead, Maybe it reminds me my old relationship but I hate when one side sacrificed the most this is not my "that's my boy" moment I find these tropes annoying. But since it is a low-budget drama I'm gonna be optimistic because the male lead was good, the set designs were on point, the osts were good and Winwin was so good I can't believe it's my first time seeing him when he is under the same label with rene. Anyway, if you looking for a drama that does not promise too much but has soft cliche romance scenes, it's for you. It was a good day when I watched this because I don't think I will ever rewatch this. After all, some episodes were so boring.Was this review helpful to you?

Would've been the best modern drama of the year but chose to be an average romcom
STORY: The story felt rushed and tried to cover too many issues. One problem would have been enough, either Heisha or Anran's issue, but both of them together gave me a headache. Despite the cute vibes and Heisha's speeches, the second leads to even lack of screen time. Anran's story was good but boring, and she had all the screen time, even more than the male lead. I would have preferred longer speeches from a voice actor, as it would have fit the plot of the drama better. The main couple's scenes were good, winwin is such a good kisser episode 12 gives me butterflies I wish she would move her lips too haha.ACTING: You can see how Winwin improved his acting in every episode his acting get better in every episode, aged like fine wine, I call this hard work because many of the senior c-actors have acted with exact same face for years and received awards, he was good and I believe if he sticks acting more he will be a big actor. I know Hehongshan from her one drama and she was the villain this character is the opposite and tbh she nailed it, she deserves more lead roles! The second couple was good their acting was on point and I need Andrew Leng in a comedy-drama as lead, he is effortlessly funny.
MUSIC: The opening song is so memorable, The only ost I remember about drama, the rest of them were average.
The writer could benefit from being bolder in their decisions, as some aspects of the drama could have been improved to make it better than just average.

Amazing
I love this drama so so so much. I found out about this drama through youtube and the fact that it stars a kpop idol, I just knew I had to watch. I do not stan WayV or any of the NCT units but I might start now because oh my god I loved Yan Yue so much. He is responsible, respectful, he cooks for her, he has good communication skills (for the most part), he's kind, he protects her from her sh*tty ex, and he is utterly gorgeous. What more can I wish for in a male lead? I also really loved An Ran. I don't mind the older/younger trope, as long as it's a reasonable gap, and I really like the way they set her up as slightly immature for her age so they balanced each other well. I also love love love that she protects him just as much as he protects her. They didn't set them up to be unequal, they both give an equal amount to the relationship. I just adore them so much, I don't know else how to express that anymore though without spoiling a lot. So onto my babies, Ying Jun and Meng Yao. I am a big sucker for the enemies to lovers trope, it never gets old for me. I really enjoyed that it didn't jump immediately from enemies to lovers though, that they actually set up a friendship first. Then we had the trouble period or as I like to call it, the Ying Jun not recognising his own feelings nor Yao Yaos. It's ok though, he figured it out eventually and they were so precious together.Speaking of Ying Jun, can I just applaud the writers for giving us a completely platonic male/female friendship between Ying Jun and An Ran? No one sided feelings, he didn't like her in the past, they are just purely platonic besties and I love it!! Their friendship is so cute and wholesome. Speaking of cute and wholesome friendships, An Ran and Yao Yao were so lovely. I won't lie, when Yao Yao was introduced I was expecting her to be the second fl and for their friendship to be kind of surface level but no. They are supportive and loving and it's amazing. Also get you a friend who you can call on the phone while you're literally in the bathroom, I love it. The other employees were also lovely, I loved them all so much. They cared for and supported each other through everything, it was beautiful.
All that being said, I really think you should watch this. It's honestly my new favourite contemporary drama and I hope it will be yours too. The sound track is also really good, I'll be adding a few to my playlist. 11/10 stars<3

the story is so good and enjoy while watching
as far as i watched on ep 10 both anran and yanyue teach life, if you break up don't drag on and live life further. Yanyue has a soft and kind heart, so far the story is very exciting. can be found in real life, very relatable. their acting is very good, not even just the main lead, the co main is also good. when they are angry happy conveyed to the audience. i watched them, it didn't feel like they were all over, i really looked forward to the continuation of the episode. i watched this by chance because I like dramas where girls are cool and independent women. very motivating.Was this review helpful to you?
Classico dramma cinese carino dolce e piacevole.
Dramma carino dolce e romantico al punto giusto. Niente che non si sia visto in altro dramma,diciamo un classico dramma cinese.I protagonisti sono dei semplici ragazzi con vite lavorative amici e in fine l'amore.Lui questa volta è più giovane di lei ma questo non sarà un ostacolo per portarli ad innamorarsi.Un amore dolcissimo tenero e romantico.
Molto spazio dedicato al lavoro oltre che alla storia d'amore.
Attori molto carini e bellissima coppia.Poi un degno happy ending.
Niente di nuovo per chi guarda drammi cinesi però di sicuro una piacevole visione!

I found the plot to be weak and uneventful. Maybe was just the direction. But it didn’t transmit anything deep at all. Even the relationships seemed quite mechanical and cold between the exes.
I read a few negative reviews warning that the male lead was not good at acting so I was a bit wary but to my surprise it was not the case at all, found him quite charismatic and I did enjoy his character.
Overall and even though it was just poor writing but sweet and lighthearted sweetness, so if you aren’t looking for anything complicated i guess you can give it a go.

Light Entertainment
I was pleasantly surprised when starting this drama as it turns out to be quite funny. I wasn’t sure about the plot and how both characters would meet but the story line ties in quite well. Both Male and Female lead portray their characters well with them being introduced to the audience at the beginning. It is a light hearted funny Rom/Com, easy to watch and well acted. There are dramas that drag on and are cheesy. This isn’t one of them. Easily watched the first few episodes without noticing how much I enjoyed it. I look forward to the next episodes to see how the characters develop. Give it a try you won’t be disappointed.Was this review helpful to you?

It's not the best thing I have ever watched, but I enjoyed the first four episodes. Winwin's acting is solid for his acting debut, his character is very intellectual and loves to read books and watch movies like Winwin himself; there are so many similarities between them. I was thinking of waiting until the last episode to drop a review, but some losers opened accounts for attention. It's not a top-tier drama, but I will advise you because it's different from any recent drama, but if the age gap genre isn't for you not highly recommended. Was this review helpful to you?
SLICE OF LIFE
I love this genre of cdrama; it's quite slice of life, and ml talk about movies and books every night, The acting is better than a lot of recent dramas, and I really miss this kind of drama. The before sunset reference made me tear up, I love when dramas talk about movies and books. When the weather is fine kind of drama. Yanyue and his headphones for escaping from his traumas... This drama deserves a try!Was this review helpful to you?

Ep 1 is a great start for the story line
Watching Dong Sicheng act for the first time in his debut drama was amazingnow ep review
Yanyue is a solitary guy, don't talk much but he has a kind heart, we don't know much about him but we will in the next episodes.
Anran is the sunshine personality on the outside but she is trying her best to not fail, i love her character.
Their relationship starts in such an awkward and different way from other love story but i love it, drunk anran was so funny and yanyue was so kind helping her, can't wait to see their relationship grow with them
