The story itself was interesting enough, but looking back on it, it was not exceptional. That said, it was able to keep me waiting for my weekly episodes so props to the writers. I admit I was initially drawn to the fact that the male lead has a son. I thought that was a unique aspect you don't quite see in a lot of dramas, and I don't know if it's just me, but guys with kids are so cute. Our main leads take up around 2/3 of the screen time, while the rest of the time is focused on the other members of Angels. Personally, I was only drawn to the side story of Baek Da Jung, but the other stories are pretty interesting as well.
The cast was wonderful. Jang Nara and Jung Kyung Ho deliver their roles perfectly, and really kept me interested in the show.
The music wasn't anything exceptional but I did really like 2 of the songs on the OST so much that I spent a couple days replaying them over and over again.
Overall, it was a well made drama that is sure to make you smile, as all rom-coms should do. There's nothing too dramatic, and although I cringed at some of the cheesiness, I still thought it was adorable. Definitely give it a try if you're looking for something light and fluffy (which sounds like a smoothie or something .-.)

The story itself, although seemingly cliche, was done very realistically setting it apart from other dramas with similar concepts. You won't find this drama to be a repeat of things you've seen before (I would know I've watched over 130 lol .-.) The story flowed smoothly and until the last 3 episodes, I had absolutely no complaints. Although the ending was a bit iffy for me, it still produced lots of feels so no worries there.
The characters were so refreshing. The wit in this drama is just AMAZING. The main female lead is so strong and although may seem bitchy at first, you'll definitely warm up to her. The dialogue between the characters are extremely intriguing, and their relationship develops very smoothly. There is sooooo much chemistry, I can't believe they're just acting. It's that good.
The music is really great, maybe because I've liked Yoga Lin songs for a while, but the other songs are really good as well.
Overall, I loved it. It was one of the best Taiwanese dramas I've seen in a while. It'll literally take you on a roller coaster of emotions (that's a good thing). I highly highly highly recommend this show!

The story itself was pretty slow for the first half of the movie. I would've given this movie a 6, but the last twenty-ish minutes gave it a huge boost. It picked up speed and tied all the loose ends together.
Everyone in the cast was great, save for the female lead. She's not a bad actress, but I just didn't feel connected to her throughout the movie.
This was a beautiful movie with a touching message at the end. There are two storylines that are interlaced throughout the movie in a way that makes sense. As I said before the ending is amazing, and there were no loose ends. I'd definitely recommend giving this a try!

The cinematography was amazing, and can definitely compete with that of kdramas. The color palette was refreshing and gave a nice laid back feel to the drama.
The story itself was told in a relatively good pace. It gave a lot of time for the development of their relationship and you can really see how they fall in love. The downside to it, however, is that it felt a tiny bit dragged out during the middle, but it definitely did not affect the show too much. It held my interest and just seeing them interact is enough to keep watching.
As if you needed another reason to watch, the main actors were amazingly casted. Mike is so so so hot and Aom is super pretty. Plus, they have the best onscreen chemistry. For the drama, they sang a song for the ost, so you know the music is good.
To conclude, I would definitely recommend watching this!!!

Now on to the positive points, if you need just one reason to watch; it's the male lead. This guy is seriously gorgeous (which he doesn't really showcase until the last two episodes), and he's only 17! You can definitely see his character evolve from being stiff and awkward to being very natural around the girl.
As the plot implies, this drama is definitely full of CGI. It's not an amazing Hollywood film quality, but it's decently done so that it isn't a problem.
This is definitely worth a watch if you're looking for something light and fluffy.

Tenten ( Naoki Irie) actually has FEELINGS, and very early on too. Taliw ( Kotoko Aihara) has a backbone, and isn't particularly desperate or clingy. King (Kinnosuke Ikezawa) was not nearly as over-exaggerated in this version. The actors/actresses' portrayal of these characters made them seem like normal, reasonable humans.
Plot-wise, this lakron changes it up a bit. The main elements are there but many events have been cut out, which is not necessarily a bad thing. As a die hard fan of the series, after many many rewatches of the other adaptations, this still managed to give me an avalanche of feels and kept me in suspense as to what is going to happen.
I definitely wholeheartedly recommend watching this!!!

The story isn't too overdramatic. It's basically a normal rom-com, but the absence of evil characters (until the last few episodes) is a breath of fresh air. The romance develops very naturally and the issues dealt with are very realistic. The only downside is that there doesn't seem to be English sub for this drama so far (fingers crossed there will be in the future), but if you understand mandarin definitely give it a try!

That said, this drama is worth a watch if you have extra time on your hands and don't mind skipping around. Also, this drama doesn't seem to be subbed anywhere so watching raw would be your best bet.
