This type of drama is not exactly my cup of tea but I unexpectedly really enjoy this -- like really enjoy it. The leads are super cute, likable & lovely together and the storyline is just simple, entertaining and just overall made you in a happy mood while watching it.

Xing Zhao Lin did a very good job portraying a peculiar, weird and confused Zhi Hao who hates touching people due to his germaphobia. But later, all the sweet things he did to accommodate his shortcomings are really nice to watch. And I love it how he didn’t need words or explanation later to understand Shi Ya's love towards him -- he is the one who felt her sincerity thus other people words didn’t convince him otherwise.

Zhang Yu Xi as Shi Ya is just super lovely! She's pretty, insane, fun, cute and overall just really lovely. I understand why Zhi Hao falls for her since anyone would. Her imagination, persistence and lack of self-control always made everything more hilarious. The scene that got me the most is the ones where she needs to use children's song in order to stop her sexual frustration lol. And her fashion! My goodness, all those one pieces, dresses and evening gowns are just so pretty. Shi Ya’s fashion is truly A++ in this drama - the best dressed Chinese lead female actress in my book as for once, a gorgeous person is dressed gorgeously with very pretty hairstyles.

I actually enjoyed a lot of monologue in the drama. The one that I like the most is when Zhi Hao said that ''He likes being alone where no one disturb him, he has a lot of time to himself -- until Shi Ya comes into his life and change everything. Then he realised that kind of life actually an extravagant to him thus he dares not to dream about it -- not that he hates it. But now he has felt it, he wants to continue living this new life with Shi Ya.''

Apart from that, what I love about this drama is the very pretty cinematography and directing. Mostly all of their romantic scenes together are just like a perfect picture with very nice props and background. The drama is like a collection of many beautiful pictures put together. This is one of the dramas where you realise how important is the directing as the director used a lot of props to make everything looks so pretty, beautiful and breath-taking. From the usage of umbrella, hanging lights on trees, lamp posts light at night to theme park or garden backdrop, every of their romantic scenes together are so pretty and perfect as a photobook material. Coupled this with the leads' attractive features and Shi Ya's great fashion, each scene is like a beautiful photoshoot pictures.

And the OSTs, its really perfect and just beautiful. I don’t know why but C-dramas OSTs are really my cup of tea -- from the sweet melody to the heart-breaking lyrics, everyone seemed to have their own theme song -- even Shi Huan (I didn’t expect the 2nd part ending song is actually from his POV). :D

And the revelation at the end of the drama is really nice and unexpected. Everything makes sense after that -- on why Shi Ya attracted to Zhi Hao and why there are always this strange & explanation connection between them. Not only because Zhi Hao taste delicious but because they are connected together since that day -- as her body remembers his touch and it was his touch which save her from that dark incident. A perfect ending to a complexly fun drama. All around an enjoyable and entertaining production – the one which is perfect for a rewatch everytime you want to have a good and amusing time.

A waste of time to watch, terrible acting, story line episode to next episode really have nothing interesting to hook on, too many un-necessary side stories for extra cast just to stretch the episodes. It supposed to be coming out of age story but it was stuck in university life form and corporate life??!.. But the heroine bad acting says she’s still an immature high school girl attitude debuting in corporate world & not yet graduate in uni… (How real is that?) … Don’t get it wrong this is not a teen movie genre coz’ she was portrayed as soon to graduate university and engaged to a 28 year old or something CEO.. Saying so its more of coming to (adulthood) age movie. But.. There are so many illogical things and stuff that was so abnormal or far from reality in the story that you’d think the writer has OCD or this film was made for dumb head watchers, and probably think its cute this way to make the story hazy that you can’t follow anymore the bland story line to finish

WATCH THIS DRAMA!!!! This may be the 1st drama were I start a review with this sentence. I really want to say a lot about this drama but I don't know where to start what to say ( I'm so excited ?)

This drama is really a good one out there. Usually when we watch drama / movie or something we say this is not a cup of tea for everyone and all but this drama is an exception. I feel that everyone can watch this drama, it's everybody's cup of tea.
There are sweet moments, where you feel so warm, so happy for the people in it . Then there not so sweet moments but just things that happen in most people's life commonly. There are frustrating moments not the kind where you feel you have to bang their heads so they stop doing stupid stuff and be reasonable, here u feel frustrated because you understand what they are going through & evn though its frustrating there is no other way out. Then there's sad moments, u know there will be an extreme pain / pang of tug at ur heart when you feel real sadness, while watching this drama I felt it. I swear this is one of those rare dramas that made me feel that pain. I really cried with tears in my eyes for some moments in this drama which never happend to me before while watching a drama

The FL dad is a rare gem that u can't see in any other drama. His moments with ML dad made me believe thy r in a relationship (but no it's jst a wishful thinking) . There are both loveable & not so loveable angle for all characters but u won't feel hatred to any (except ML mom, Sry I can't forgive tat lady) because even though u feel irritated u understand thm. There r other mom's in this drama that r not loveable but still I didn't hate thm extremely because I felt there r people like that out there & it's not like they don't like their children it's jst they are unknown to many things & they can be redeemed.

But not the ML's mom. I won't lie I'm not so font of 40th episode. Just to show that everybody is happy they redeemed her just like triggering a switch. There was no need for that. If I'm in ML position I don't think I need her last minute change of heart for my ease of heart. That's not how it work & this is my only complaint about this drama. I really want to give this a 9 ? just because of that but then I don't think just because of a single episode giving it a9 ? didn't feel fair to this drama.

Even when I read other reviews i was really skeptical about 40 episode drama because , I felt that somewhere along the story it will disappoint me (that's how it usually happen in long episode numbered drama, sometimes evn less episodes can't save the drama) but here I felt they probably needed 1/2 more episodes to tie everything more perfectly.

The 1st two episodes of this drama is Bestest. Like I don't think I was this in love with any other drama/ episodes of a drama. Those two episodes are so so beautiful that I really want to tattoo them. (yes over enthusiastic).

I really want to say that things you mostly fear while u watch a drama are absent here. Yes there is a time leap and all. But no it's not that unnecessary breakup and time leap sh*t. AND THERE IS NO LOVE TRIANGLE?. when I started this drama that was one thing that I was most scared of, unnecessary love triangle & losing beautiful relationship they had because of that stupidity. Everybody is clear about how they feel & whom they feel for. Even when both leads proposed to her u can clearly see what love they have for her.

I was really skeptical about the love angle but I loved how they showed it here. There was no unnecessary misunderstandings, heartbreak or anything and most importantly there was really no big change or anything extra when they started the relationship. I felt it's like indirectly saying they were in love from the start & now they just put the tag when they were mature enough. And you can feel it's a happly ever after even if they didn't say it. ?Also I want to say their hugs are soo warm...

Like I said I want say soo much about this drama but don't know what / how to say. I know all these while I was just blabbering stuff's incoherently? & sorry for that it's purely because of excitement and content I felt because of watching something good. This will be the longest review that I have ever wrote & still feel like I have so many things to say. ?

Watch this guy's I was never this confident for any other dramas. Watch it! Watch it! Watch it! You won't regret it. ?

Finally thank you subbers for your good work ?

I never think i would had watch this drama so soon, if not because of Wang Yi Bo who play as Ji Xiang Kong, i was curious how a person who act as someone who hardly talk in The Untamed, then i was capture by the sport and later stay for the adrenaline rush now i wish i could be a com-mentor or a game narrator.

Despite the pile on of misunderstandings in the beginning, Our lead all had their reasons for doing what they did, while the drama is relatively short in term of Chinese Drama, I never felt it was draggy while I was watching, maybe because we are introduced to lots of conflict in the drama and they were decently solve i would said.

They went through hell and back together and they are so considerate of each others. let me just said they are each other support and enemy.

One of the things i love about this drama is that Xk is not your typical drama hero found in most modern Chinese drama, he was a mystery to everyone around him include me the viewer , why we were never giving a glimpse of his past, i might had hate the PD a little there yet i understand because i had come to realize that “A PAST DOES NOT MAKE A PERSON“

I love how it shows us the importance of friendship, teamwork and how it contributes to success. Ji Xiang Kong and Qui Ying compliment each other as they become each others biggest supporters and admirers in this drama. They went through hell and back together and they are so considerate of each others. let me just said they are each other support and enemy.

Gank your heart made me cry, laugh, feel emotional inside! If a drama or movie made me cry, laugh smile whenever am thinking about it or the OST the trust that drama will be on my high list ! Of course there are some flaws and complain (mostly that they want more) but I really enjoyed it while others are complaining about the relationship between the two lead i was digging it cause it show me how relationship in real life work.

The second lead couple ARE SO CUTE with their fights and bickering always make me laugh i swear and i was so in for the head path or throwing the hand over shoulder scene anytime that happen my teeth is always showing.

There is hardly any drama with out it own set of ANTAGONISTS and there were two QIAO XIN AND MI YA which i wish to give a slap every times they arrive on the scene, cause they pissing me off with they steeping over others and yes i do feel that the antagonists stayed around for too long even where they have their goal and they ended up being way too focus on their target, to the point of being detrimental to their own goals.

While they also have there own redemption i would had not accepting if it was not because of the game cause like i said the game heal lot of wound and it made me realize that the game itself it FAMILY!

The OST were amazing and overall, and i found my 3 favorite song to listen to! i have to said this year was pretty good when it come to Drama OST!!

This drama throw a lot at us like both lead’s turbulent relationship, career and massive changes with lots of hate and doubt thrown against them, Qiu Ying’s family issue, the e-sport industry, perception of gaming as a newbie and old-bie, the dream of winning the championship and that camaraderie among your teammates, multiple supporting characters character development, the drama definitely covered a lot, and I so love the supportive environment our characters created for themselves.

But overall the acting was great, especially Qui Ying’s given the fact that she’s fairly new in the acting industry. The competition scenes were something else OMG i could feel my Adrenaline pumping, am not even a gamer but those scene got me sitting on the edge of my seat and whenever they said Next Wave Attack gosh i nearly give myself an attack there.

despite the stellar cast and good overall plot, the series seemed to lose its focus from early on in favour of a pain-filled subplot involving the characters since their past lives. Indeed, the series initially introduced the idea of solving mysteries by following Bai Qi and Lin Xia into the minds of their clients. This premise was really exciting and fresh, and the few cases that they solved were all interesting and original. Unfortunately, after only four of these side stories, the plot shifted to focus on Bai Qi’s inner dilemma and appearance of his alter-ego, Hei Qi, and completely moved away from its original detective-esque plotline. While I enjoyed the Bai Qi/Hei Qi subplot, I found myself wishing for more client-based cases and mysterious hauntings.

Overall, the plot was really original with the whole spirit doctor idea and the two warring factions of heavenly soldier and evil spirit, but that unique element was left aside in the latter half of the drama with a heavy focus on Bai Qi and Lin Xia’s romance. Still, the love story between the two was truly beautiful and heart-wrenching, and had me cheering for their happiness from the get-go.

no spoiler go ahead

Considering the acting in this cdrama it's very good and I also like the way they made the female lead. Honestly, I don't know why people thought that she was going to be tomboyish?? Just because you're a gamer girl doesn't mean you can't be cute.

I like this c-drama more than others because the director didn't give us the expectations we thought we would get from the main leads. Everyone thought she would be this strong girl and a person who could handle "the boys" on her own, but in reality, it doesn't work like that.

Also, the girl seemed to be cuter and 'whinier' when she's around the main actor because she's comfortable. Her character is well fitted in this cdrama and really?? Character development when there's like 16 episodes only?? There are 31... also, people don't change that muchh THAT quickly. People who give reviews need to be more analytic when it comes to real-life scenarios.

The main actress is displaying her more strong side towards people outside her circle and if you all didn't see that then, I am sorry for you. The C drama is excellent in my taste.

There was also one review who spoke on how the gaming in this cdrama was just "added in", but they literally speak of their gaming abilities all the time in the drama. I would almost say that the romance is less than the gaming. The connection and scenes between the teammates are also important because you need to get to know them as individuals.

Great romcom without alot of frustrating misunderstandings. The main couple actually stands together to support each other in good and bad situations. The characters can seem a little unlikable at first, especially the mom, but by the end you understand their motivations. It's not a critically acclaimed sports drama! It's more of a light romcom so yes true to many Taiwanese series can be corny slapstick at times filled with unrealistic scenarios of business and competition. It's no less entertaining for it. This series to me is about persistence and learning to heal! It's not a passionate romance but more of a supporting companionship. My only issue with this drama is the way it ended so abruptly. The drama really needed to play out more about the ml father, taekwondo competition, but mostly the recovery portion! More happy future moments with the leads and aunt/brother couple would have been great too! I also wanted to add I loved Puff's performance! She was so lowkey and badass compared to her usual performance that her acting ability really was center stage. Jiro and Puff did such a great job in this drama imho!

Can I just say I love this drama so much? Initially, I was a bit unsure about watching this sequel because drama sequels are normally nowhere near as good as the first. I feel like more time and money has been spent on this drama and it's even better than the first season! Before the drama was aired, I wasn't sure about the description because it seemed like all of the first drama would be written off, but Mo Liang Chen (the future one) often refers to the story in the first drama, etc. so it doesn't feel like it's all been forgotten even though we're currently in a completely new timeline. I think the writers handled this really, really well and far more seamlessly than I was anticipating. Hopefully with a bit of luck, the two timelines might coincide near the end. Actually, the plot is so unusual that I'm not sure how they'll end this!

The actor playing masked future Mo Liang Chen has done an amazing job as well. The way he is acting feels really believable and not like an actor swap but just a 'face swap'. Therefore, it doesn't break the immersion and pull you out of the story. My favourite part of this drama is the dynamic between Tan'er, the eighth prince and future eighth prince. I do feel like future prince is the clear winner here, but he does have a massive advantage XD And it's so funny that the past prince and future prince are both jealous of each other. I can't wait for the past (well, current??) prince to find out that Liu Shang is actually future him! I also don't know which I should ship. Like I said, future prince is playing more the hero here BUT past prince will one day become him or maybe not because how the time lines have all gotten messed up? XD But he's the version of Mo Lian Cheng that Tan'er should have fallen in love with until the future version interfered. The chemistry is amazing between Liang Jie and Xing Zhao Lin, whether it's Tan'er and current prince or Tan'er and future prince, I love all of their interactions. And when the future one is masked, the actor playing this version of Mo Liang Cheng fits in so seamlessly and feels like the same character.

I mean, how anyone not love this sequel??? Instead of one Mo Lian Cheng, we get two!! Does that mean in the third season we will get three Mo Lian Chengs?~ (I've heard rumourings of a third one, not sure if it's true but I hope so!!!)

Outrageous comedy.
Gender bender misadventures.
Martial arts action.
Mirthful storyline.
Mysterious assassinations.
Marvelous sets and settings.
Elaborate wardrobe, especially for the male lead.
Interesting pacing.
Textbook handsome male lead.
Uproarious and cute female lead who cross dresses as a male physician. ?

Those are many elements which constitute this historical romantic comedy. The main couple have a shared childhood history. He carries guilt that he wasn't able to save her family. She infiltrates his manor in order to find the culprit of her parents' murders. He is seeking the assassin who poisoned his fiancee. Full of military exploits, he returns home to take his intended bride, a princess arranged by the emperor. Unfortunately, she is murdered mysteriously before his very eyes! ??

Very spontaneous romp that tickles my funny bone. The female lead is beautiful when being her womanly self in quest of an important mission. Dressed as a male, she is subject to mishaps but able to live as a physician, a profession held by men only in her day. Rumored to be born under an unlucky star, yet with a broad heart for embracing the world, she is plucky and living a tangled life full of hidden, underlying motives. Fun romantic comedy. ?♥️?

Viki has some wonderful historical romances which I have placed in my new collection of Love in Ancient Times. To see anyone's collections, click on their username. This is a slow burn romance due to the fact that the male lead is unaware that the physician is a woman, but amazing changes take place in his personality once he discovers she is female. Good resolutions all along this journey as the mystery gets solved step by step and their relationship becomes closer. Wonderful ending

Without a fail, when I want to pick up a Taiwanese drama, I know for a fact that anything Puff Guo is in will be perfection. It was completely different than any other drama I had watched in the past and (according to mydramalist online) this is Puff's and Jasper's highest rated drama for great reason. This drama is tied for first place in my heart with my first Taiwanese drama and the first time I had ever encountered Puff, Just You (2013). I've been waiting for her to act in a drama that was more recent (compared to 2013 & 2014) and she did not disappoint. It was amazing seeing her in another drama with Jasper Liu as I loved their chemistry in their first, but I wanted to see them in something more mature as I thought Jasper's character was sweet...but goofy in an unattractive way (to me) while Puff needed to take the stick out of her butt even at the end. I honestly thought this drama, based on all the clips that were posted on my instagram feed, was going to be this story about these two people who were engaged and met, and fell in love behind their partners' backs. Oh yeah and that this was going to be some kind of 50 shades of grey fan fic because it seemed like there was going to be a lot of sex. And I am SUPER HAPPY that this drama was NO WHERE near what I thought. I was scared that I was going to hate it because regardless if you are the main characters and are meant to be together, I cannot condone cheating. Instead, it is about Puff who is in this 3 year secret relationship with her coworker who basically tells her how to live her life, but she is blind to it all because she is in love and doesn't know anything else. Jasper, on the other hand, is in this loveless 10 year relationship (one sided love) where we numbs himself by drinking and and sleeping around. One day they meet each other by chance and Jasper (yes I realize that I've been calling them by their real names, and not by there characters names, but I am already this far so) is immediately intrigued by her and wants to pursue her after her many rejections. We get to follow this odd yet interesting relationship between the two of them; Jasper (Kehuan) teaching Puff (Wei Wei) that she should be treated as an equal in her relationship, while Wei Wei teaching Kehuan to be a strong and courageous person instead of hiding behind alcohol and women. It was interesting and frustrating seeing the back and forth with their characters as I felt like there was never a time until the very end that they were truly friends and able to breath, but when you have Hao Yi and Zi Yuan as partners/exs, you will never get to breath and be happy. Gosh, they were both nightmares. I did love the character development with each character as well as being able to read every emotion on both Wei Wei and Kehaun's faces. It added a sensual touch to the drama, where they didn't have to say anything to know how the other was feeling. Overall, amazing drama, def will rewatch it! I do think that everything timed out perfectly, no matter how much I wanted the two mains to get together...but I appreciate the timing of everything as it seemed 100% realistic and it made both characters come off as genuine human beings who had nothing but love for one another, even after the crazy first episodes of Kehaun being a creepy pervert

Best chinese fantasy drama

The idea was fresh, and the drama had its cute moments, and I appreciate it that for once a Chinese fantasy drama 1) didn't drag for 30+ episodes and 2) did not have a needlessly sad or open ending. I also liked the main actress. Her acting was conventional, but felt spontaneous and she really gave life and a specific personality to her character.
This said, the script had many holes. The parents appear or disappear from the story, they don't seem fazed by many inappropriate or unusual things but accept everything lightly. At the end, they and we don't even know what their son will be doing, where will he staying and how will he be earning his living. The female villain of the beginning suddenly reflects on herself and changes from black to white. Many "rules" of the fantasy world were not explained properly, and some new ones were added at the last moment when it was convenient just to solve a plot problem. What the orbs could and couldn't do, in which circumstances the creature gets inside or can get out of the orb, what are their healing powers and their space travel powers, how long had some of the characters been out of their orbs, how did they find the suitable body and so on and so forth. It was very confusing, not well-explained (I've watched about 300 dramas so far, and I don't consider myself stupid).
The cherry on the cake was the finale, which provided a solution which didn't come organically from the plot, and from what we'd been told so far, but by introducing yet another "new" property /rule we had been told nothing about, like a Deus ex Machina. Just like in "About Time", in "Angel's Last Mission: Love", "Mew, The Secret Boy". Lazy, lazy writers.
Not to mention the tired tropes we were served towards the end.
Moreover, the acting - with the exception of the FL - was really, really bad. This time it isn't overacting but rather underacting. The male lead most of the time had a poker face (yeah, he was trying to be cold and indifferent and cool, I get it, but it gets old real quick) and he never studied the mannerisms of a cat. Even the hiss was just a "hu" sound. His little licks were good, to be fair.
The second lead was placid and impassible like a Buddha, and so was the other second lead (the sidekick). Generally these men wore such serene expressions that made me want to go to sleep. Is that a thing for Chinese male actors? The girls are very lively to the point of being annoying and the men are like statues. I was reminded of the "acting" of Edward Lai, the equally Buddha-like but much prettier ML of "A Little Thing Called First Love".
All in all, as Chinese dramas go, it wasn't that bad. I've seen worse. I was able to watch it to the end without too many problems. Which is a rare occurrence for me. So if you want something super-light which doesn't engage your brain cells too much, for when you're tired or before going to bed, it can deliver. But it could have been much, much better.

Best historical drama

Ashes of Love. Where do I even begin? I have watched countless dramas and I rarely give 10s. Even when I give 10s, they are never perfect 10s. Ashes of Love is a PERFECT 10. Before I start my review of this drama, let me be upfront and say that I had my reservations about it. Most of the dramas I watch are set in a more modern setting and are more realistic than this. Though I have watched dramas like While You Were Sleeping (Korean drama) which dabble in supernatural elements, I normally don’t watch full on supernatural or mythical dramas. I came across this drama when I was reviewing a list of the dramas that people deemed the best of 2018. I watched the trailer and put it on my watchlist and I am glad I did.

The first episode itself hooked me. The chemistry between the main characters, the story line, and the incredible actors all made me want to continue watching. As I kept on watching (more like binging) the episodes, I fell more and more in love with it all. I will admit, there were times when I was beyond frustrated. I was frustrated that the Yun Elixir prevented Jinmi from loving phoenix (Xu Feng). I was initially frustrated by how naïve and indifferent to love Jinmi was, despite knowing that it was not her fault. I was mad at the late floral immortal who put the Yun Elixir in Jinmi to keep her from loving anyone. However, all my frustration was worth it. When that stupid elixir finally broke and Jinmi finally realized that she loved Xu Feng, I felt as if her emotions were my own. And this is a big deal. I have NEVER cried during watching a drama. But this drama made me cry, laugh, scream, and everything in between. The credit goes to the incredible actors who will make you feel as if THEIR pain is YOUR pain.

Personally speaking, I think my favorite part of this 63-episode long show were the episodes that showed Jinmi’s trial in the mortal world. HOLY CRAP. The chemistry between Xu Feng and Jinmi in those episodes is ridiculous. When she admits to liking him (in the mortal world) and he asks her to marry him, I couldn’t stop crying. The pain of waiting and watching the before episodes was definitely worth it. Another aspect that made this show great was the villains. I have never hated any character as much as I hated the Heavenly Empress. She is a scheming and conniving lady who is utterly ruthless. Her and Sui He (bird lady) plot and scheme together so much and it annoyed me greatly. Don’t even get me started on the Night Immortal. He knew that Jinmi didn’t love him and yet took advantage of her ignorance of love to get her to agree to marry him which led to an excruciatingly painful love triangle. However, at points you find yourself sympathizing and even admiring these villain characters. That’s how good the actors were. Sui He and Fish Fairy (Runyu-Night Immortal) were the most tragic characters in my opinion. They both loved someone who didn’t love them back and it drove them to do evil things. Normally, when I binge shows, if I have time I fly through the episodes. With this show, I kept having to take breaks despite having time to watch because the episodes were so emotionally charged. I had to stop and let my heart adjust before I could watch anymore of the show. That is how affected I was. The characters are all dynamic and develop so much as the show goes on. Runyu changes from someone who is kind and merciful to someone who is cold and rather ruthless. Jinmi changes from being naïve and innocent to someone who discovers her love only after she’s lost it. While this show has a happy ending, there were points in the middle where I was seriously doubting it.

All in all, if you have any sort of reservations about this show, LET THEM GO. SEND THEM OUT THE DOOR. If I could love this drama this much and cry over it, you will absolutely enjoy it. The plot is incredible, and I honestly wish I could read/speak Chinese so that I could more fully appreciate the attention to detail instead of relying on subtitles. THE MUSIC WAS GOLDEN.

Seriously this is one of the best kdramas that I have watched . I was so addicted to it and completed it in 2 days . I thought of watching this drama for a long time but I never did . I didn't know whether I would like it so I thought that I would watch it later and I kept on doing the same for a long time but while I was watching ost's of kdramas on youtube I heard the ost of this drama it was so good so I thought okay I would give it a try and it was one of the best decisions that I have ever made . The storyline is good and the script and the dialogues were written so well .The cast especially the leads are so good looking. The male lead is so handsome and cute and I wasn't able to take my eyes off him . They way he acted was awesome like sometimes he would be serious other times he would be joking around , it was good to watch. The interactions between the main leads are so good and the way they joke around with each other was so refreshing to see and also the interactions between the male lead and his friend in this drama ,their bromance and their friendship is awesome. They are like partners in crime together. While watching this drama you will be happy , sad , crying like a baby and sometimes you will get second hand embarrassed and sometimes you will be laughing so hard.

I have very mixed feelings about this drama. I initially started to watch the show because I love Kim Yoo Jung in Clean with a Passion. She's only 22 and yet she acts so well and beyond her age. I will watch anything she is in. I'm a fan of Ji Chang Wook, but his dramas are hits or miss with me. I know there is a 12 year age difference, but I kind of wished they got a cast a touch closer in age.

1.) I didn't like the comedy aspect of the show. I felt like it's very angsty driven / miscommunication driven / tension filled comedy. You have the typical annoying family, the lazy bum best friend and main lead chasing after the annoying ex. There really wasn't anything making me hold on to the show. I need "cute" scenes.

2.) I didn't like the pacing of the show. There was a lot of tension between the two leads and like the other reviewers commented it's awhile before they both see each other romantically. It's a one-sided crush for a LONG time. I couldn't stand that.

3.) A few reviews touch on this, but some don't and I think it's worth mentioning. As an American, I let a lot of things slide because it's a difference in culture. Like when I watch a C drama and they nick name one of their characters "fatty". Okay I get it in a C drama, but that would not fly in American. We are touchy like that.

So the racist undertones in the drama is a little uncomfortable. I should explain that I am Asian - American, so I understand cultural differences, but this is 2021 people. I'm not watching a Kdrama from 20 years ago. I was really surprised they had a Korean actor with dredge locks and displayed as someone who is "dirty" and doesn't bathe. It added no value to the drama and it also acted as a "comedy" filler.

Don't write a character to fill in a time spot in a drama. It needs to have value and heart. That's my two cents on the subject.

4.) This is a minor spoiler, but they didn't even kiss. I can't stand that in dramas. It's just as bad when C dramas do a fake kissing. What's the point in watching a rom com if I can't even get a slight peck on the lips?

I like to see more rom coms where the writing is based on mutual respect and kindness. You don't always have to make people annoying and mean to make "tension". There are clever ways to add tension and in a non-annoying and non-racist way. (like I said, that's my two cents)
