I am new in getting into Chinese dramas as of late but this Rom-com is definitely one of the best that I've watched, causing me to binge watch a majority of the episodes, even downloading the free app to catch up! The 'iQLYL' app I used to watch has ENG subs but keep in mind they are kind of worded odd but still understandable.

TL;DR - All in all this is a simple fluffy, heartwarming rom-com that has more to give the more you watch. If you are looking for romance that's sweet, cute, has just the right amount of comedy and is practically angst free (featuring cute animals), then this is the drama for you!

Although the plot seems childish and weird (the comet name is literally WTF 666... lol) the drama definitely has a lot more heart and love to it in such a pure and endearing way. Like how the leads develop their companionship/friendship/relationship and help each other grow as adult individuals. Being able to see and feel the growth of the main leads was really heartwarming. I can't tell you how much I enjoyed this series. The chemistry between all the characters work so well together, especially the main leads (the kisses!! The FL is so cute). Even all the side/support characters won me over by the end in some way. The story although sometimes predictable is done well enough to the point where you actually anticipate to see something happen. Another positive is that the pace of the drama was great. Although some plot lines are briefly mentioned and shelved for later episodes, difficult/hindering situations never drag on for too long.

I do think the series could have been cut by an episode or two story wise but the more sweet moments they give me I will gladly take! Something I think this drama could've done better is finding a better way to portray the "Cat" personality but once watching, I guess I can understand how it's difficult to portray and how each animal has their own unique personality. There are plot holes here and there but none big enough (imo) that break the reality, just small things like, "no way you can get a taxi that fast".
