Sweet but just okay

I started watching this drama because I wasn't sure what I wanted to watch next, while I didn't feel like a super short drama, I also didn't feel like a long one either, LinXinYi looked cute and I hadn't gotten around to watching one of Luo Zheng's dramas yet so I dove in.

I didn't know what to expect so I didn't have a lot of expectations, but to my own surprise at the beginning I found myself enjoying it, it was full of cliches but I don't usually mind fluffy and sweet cliches so I wasn't bothered. I started getting my hopes up that this was actually quite a good watch. However to my disappointment while the first 2/3 were enjoyable, I started getting tired of it in the last 1/3.

PROS: I liked the ML and FL they were sweet, several cute scenes and I think they made a nice screen couple. ML's grandmother is a lot of fun and it is enjoyable to see how she works to help keep the couple together. For the most part there were not any downright "evil" characters (exception of the FL's father but we don't see him a ton anyway), and those that did wrong regretted it.

CONS: the main one is how the FL handles her true identity reveal - she dragged it out for so long when the ML could plainly tell something was wrong and even kept asking her...yet she claimed she was scared to lose the ML but after he finds out she regrets not telling him sooner. This was drawn over several episodes which I found frustrating. Also the reconciliation between the FL and ML could have been a bit better, it was unsatisfactory to me.

All in all, a decent watch but I wouldn't rewatch it either.
