Well done! Have watched this drama twice.

I ve watched this drama twice. However I admit to skimming through on the first time and well the second time I skimmed through completely after episode 21? Nonetheless, I have an idea of what happened and should still be qualified to write a review yea? So instead of hating let’s open a friendly discussion and chat? :)

So I watched this drama somewhat thoroughly on my second watch. On the first time I did skimmed through but I was really just scouring for the highlights but this time my phone was glued to my face so I wouldn’t miss the main highlights of the show.

What can I say? It was a well done drama. It’s a good tv show. It’s romantic, lovely, heartwarming, decently passionate and oddly inspiring.

I mean this may be just a few word that I can describe this drama and my satisfaction of it right now but what more can I say? Except it was a good drama. It wasn’t exceptionally perfectly good but I mean what is? Right?

The story is a swoon worthy, romantic and loving love story between the main leads. Of childhood sweethearts finding one another once again after so many years. I mean the genuine love between the two was adorable and made me feel so many emotions at once it made my heart spin abit.

There is also love hate relationship at the very beginning for both main couple leads but that subside throughout the show as love started blossoming between them.

I mean the acting with the cast was ofc good. I am a fan of fair Xing. She is adorable witty smart courageous in this drama. Her character had a strong sense of justice and morality which is something that we can all learn.

There are elements of reality in terms of the interaction among the characters that some might relate in real life. But there are more elements that likely you don’t see very often in real life. Like the super sweet and almost cheesy romance and love the characters have with one another.

I mean a romance between a doctor and lawyer is such an ideal romantic pair up that in real life people reasonably hopes it might be true. But you don’t see it often or you just don’t know and this drama shows you a love story between this potential ideal couple profession.

Shows the troubles and hardship that both profession have to go through. Making us realise that from a laymen standpoint that is more than what meets The Eye when we first encounter a lawyer or a doctor. So we should all just be nice to everyone :)

The romance and passion, was good. The tension, passion and the Kiss scenes was well done. It really shows the passion with the characters sealing the deal between the two and just showing the passion that is still alive throughout their relationship. I mean for those believes like myself, that passion is a factor that pulls in anyone to a drama. Well it seems the characters here were well portrayed and their passion was well done. They weren’t stiff robots when they film kiss scenes like some other dramas. The actors were profession and skilled in making sure that passionate romance is been portrayed. Not just sweet love. ;)

I mean although the sweet and passionate love pulls one into this drama. The characters sense of justice, determination, perseverance in fulfilling their dreams and ambitions. Living the life they want to lead and be the person they wanna be and also work in a profession that they believe in.

I am a law student and after watching fair Xing portraying this trainee turn lawyer journey inspired and motivate me to get my butt Back up from the couch and actually get to work again. They don’t show the typical stereotypical stuff that lawyers are portrayed in the media but they kept it abit real in terms of the amount of work and time and energy that is placed in different cases and the sacrifices that one must make to fulfill their responsibilities to their clients same goes for other profession which is portrayed in this show.

Fair Xing character wants to do what’s right and fight for others. Not idly standing by and do nothing when in fact knows she could do absolutely something even if it’s risking her safety.

The supporting character were pretty good they weren’t a total bitch. They tried chasing the leads but kind gave up shortly after and became nice to the leads which is nice cos it’s exhausting constantly seeing somebody else ruining good people happiness ya know?

The cousin etc, were all adorable.

I felt pity for the male lead cos like he had to wait for her and willing to wait for god knows how long. How sweet is that? A little creepy at first cos he’s memory is only the little girl but again debatable. He got jealous but they reconciled after that little patch and were good after throughout which is good seeing constant crisis between the main leads are exhausting too.

After that you kinda naturally turn your attention to the other lead couple which I was rooting for so much almost as much as the main lead.

So would I recommend this? Yea. Considering you like what you see in this review. However some might see this drama differently so you can see for yourself what you think of it.

Would I recommend this? Sure maybe not soon but yes.

If you think the drama Put Your Head On My shoulder was good, this is even better

I think no one would be a stranger to Xing Fei and Tang Xiao Tian right? As and avid drama fan, I’ve watched many of their previous works! Since they’ve worked together before, you can expect their chemistry in this drama to be superb. The best part? I would say ALL the casts had superb chemistry (I watched all the BTS when I finished the series)

Comparing to PYHOMS, this is definitely targeted more to the YA. With cast all at the stage working towards their dreams and how one would walk out from previous relationship. This drama really tells a lot! I really liked how the second couple’s relationship progressed, it wasn’t rushed nor forced.

As for the main couple, I watched them interact like how a proud mom would! Love how WSQ persists and how he would flirt at times was totally cute! They really interact like how a normal couple would albeit a drama which I’m really glad they did.

The drama was paced well, and enough intense kiss scenes (winks winks). Usually comparing to K dramas I feel that C drama kiss scenes are a little conservative; but this definitely will satisfy fans!! You definitely have to watch this!

Taste in "My Little Happiness."

Like "Dating in the Kitchen", the trailers makes my curiousity up to the roof. I watched them few times.

Then, the wait has paid off. It's sweet because the romance, bickers, and wit between the two main leads. There are some scenes that makes me flutter. Then savory because this drama makes you want to repeat and repeat again. It's light, yet still have that weight because teaches you to rethink about value and relations in life (work, person that you love, and people around you). But, towards to end, it's pretty flat. Nevertheless, the acting was nice and I enjoy the soundtracks. As the title say, this drama is one of "My Little Happiness." Recommend to watch this drama when you need something fun and beautiful at the same time.

Adorable couple and good second roles

Things I adored

1 The ML. I didn't expect him to be that good. I went into this without much hope, but I was hooked from the first episode. I loved his character. He was a good doctor, a great leader, a perfect boyfriend. He also can kiss and that made the story even better. I truly loved his character.

2 The cousin of the FL. My favorite character. He was truly adorable and I adored his relationship with his cousin but also with the ML. Great every time he appeared.

3 The mother of the FL. I love the actress, (I've seen her in other dramas and she always steals the scene) but here she was so funny and adorable. I wish she had a bigger role.

Things I loved

1 The FL. She was adorable most of the time, and although her acting got on my nerves sometimes, with the wide eyes and the deer caught in the headlights expression, she did a good job and made me care about her. She had chemistry with the ML, more than what she had in the PYHOMS with her costar in my opinion.

2 That they lived so close. I loved that. It was well done and it made it easy to have some funny and moving moments between the main couple.

3 The 2ML and the 2FL. I saw that some didn't like the second couple, but I did. They weren't annoyed to me and I cared about them. The 2FL is an adorable young woman, kind and naïve and I wanted her to be happy. My heart ached for her when she was unhappy. As for the 2ML , I wanted to slap him sometimes with how clueless and cruel he was, but he got to his senses and changed so I forgive hm. The actor did a good job and I loved him despite his flaws.

4 I loved the past connection. It gave me butterflies and was looking forward to the moment she would find out. Good job.

5 I loved the ML and the 2ML family. They were all funny and the interactions were great between all of them. it reminded me my family.

Things I disliked

1 The ex and the previous relationship of the 2ML. It seemed unrealistic to hold on her for so long, but then again it happens in real life as well to let people who don't deserve it take our lives hostage.

Everything is awesome.....??????

It was such an entertaining and interesting drama that I started in on 19th march evening and completed it this afternoon.....So good and funny and cute romance medical drama.At first I found it on one channel on YouTube where they tell about top 10 dramas of particular genres. At that time when I saw one clip of this drama it was cute, but I didn't thought of watching it, as it states the story of childhood sweethearts and recently I already watched one about childhood sweethearts.But then I watched it's trailer and I knew that I should give it a try and result came that it's a drama with very cute,fluffy,romantic and at the same time mature love......One should definitely watch it.....!!!!!!

Well-rounded drama, must watch

The first six or seven episodes were quite painful for me to watch. In the beginning, it was extremely unrealistic on both fronts: career and love. The doctors exuded such unprofessionalism and the way the romance started was just so hard to take seriously. The trope of childhood best friends and reuniting could have been done without. However, I kept this drama on as background noise and I have to say that I am thankful I kept watching. Eventually, the romance matures and the chemistry between all the couples is brilliant. The cast looked comfortable with each other on screen and that made me feel very comfortable as well. It was such a pleasure to watch the second couple mature together and the first couple maneuver their way through typical (and dramatized) relationship troubles.

Such a cute and beautiful drama

One of my favorite romance drama. I love both couple so much and they had cute, healthy and mature relationships. The main couple was so cute, I love their height difference and they were sweet. They were understanding and helping each other too. From childhood crush to lovers.

The story of the second couple was really good too, like an ennemies to lovers and they were perfect for each other. I loved watching their story.

I love that in this drama there was no love triangle (there was second leads, but it was one sided love, they weren’t annoying and trying to get the leads. They backed up fast and did not force anything), also no break up and a beautiful happy ending for everyone.
I also loved that their families (all 4 main leads) were kind, loving, friendly and accepted the relationships. They loved their in laws ahah and no annoying parents against the relationship. They were happy for them and even encouraged them.

The ending was perfect too.

Breeze Of Fresh Air

This drama was such a breeze of fresh air. Everything felt so real. The doctors seemed like real people, real doctors. Wen Shao Qing was such a gentleman. Not the regular cliché male lead that manipulates female lead into marrying or dating or the possessive type to hold on to the famale lead not giving her the needed personal space. I liked the fact that they showed an actual doctor goes through daily life. They do have tough times standing and operating while standing for 20+ hours. How tiring it is that they have to get up move anytime there's an emergency.
The fact that Cong Rong was not a damsel in distress. She being a lawyer had a sense of responsibilty for justice. Shao Qing did help her a few times but she too gave him support when he needed her. There was mutual care between them. Which was heartwarming to watch. There were no cliché heartbreaks or the male lead getting overly jealous. They were just two people maintaining their personal and professional life responsibly.
I liked the hospital scene where they showed in parallel their present selves and their children selves
The second leads were just too cute together. They should get their own spin-off. Although I cried a few everytime he rejected her and she was heartbroken. Her misery broke my heart and I cried along with her on my bed at 2am in the night. But her character developed after several times being rejected. She became mature.
I liked that there were no rich-@$$ people in this drama who just threw money at whatever they wanted. They were just real people with real emotions.
This is the first time I m giving a drama 10 stars bcoz this never disappointed me. Cong Rong felt like a real lawyer with the knowledge of the law. While Shao Qing also seemed a real doctor at how he surgically sued the grapes..haha.
Great experience watching My Little Happiness. Highly recommended if you r looking for a wholesome Chinese drama.

Feel good, lighthearted story.

Good drama. Has your standard childhood friend meets as adults trope, but they do it well. It is just the premise for the start of the show and is the basis for their love for each other. This is a lighthearted drama with little melodrama and just a feel good watch. I was not interested in the side leads story so i skimmed through that, even though their relationship was just as lovely and pure.

The FL kind of annoyed me because she lead on her boss by not telling him she had a BF. Although, she was not trying to hide it, she was not explicit enough in turning him down which kind of annoyed me. At first, this matched her character because she was oblivious, but her friend explained it to her and she still did not tell the boss. On the contrary, the girl that was interested in the ML immediately encouraged his relationship with the FL when she heard because the ML was very clear about his feelings for her. That being said the FL never had any feelings for her boss and only loved the ML and she puts him above everything and vice versa.

I really have come to enjoy Chinese dramas because of the way they show love, family, and friendship. The ML and his family are such nice people. The ending was so beautiful and it was nice seeing both leads families swooning over their respective son/daughter-in-law

Best Realistic Story In A Long Time

The best drama I have seen in a long time. The story was pure and realistic. The characters dealt with problems like a real person would deal with it. No obsess person no push and pull game between the couples. The family was not perfect but were understanding. The actors performance was great and they had such great chemistry. The relationship between the couples were realist behavior. What a great story with funny, and dramatic scenes from the very beginning. The situation the couple had to deal with at the work place seem true to what would happen in an everyday life. Loved the scrip. Just the best. It was a joy to watch this drama even when I had to wait every week for new episodes.

Your dream, my dream, our dream.

The most amazing part of this series was how the main characters completely devoted themselves to supporting each others dreams. While they both were faced with decisions that sometimes left them with less time to spend together, they still were steady in their love and proud of each others success.
While they strove to be the best they could be in their professions, they still put the same amount of effort in maintaining their love for each other. This was done a lot through small actions like making breakfast for each other or staying awake to care for their partner while they are sick.
I really recommend this to anyone who is wanting sweet and devoted love, with not a lot of drama in their love but instead more focused drama in their work.

I’m so in love with this drama!

OMG I LOVED IT! First of all I’m head over heels for the OST. Been wanting to say that for 26 episodes now but was determined to watch all 28 before posting anything. This show was so addictive. I love the chemistry of the main couple and really enjoyed the story of the 2nd couple too. I love how steamy the main couple was, not all prude like usual Asian dramas (especially Chinese). I laughed so much throughout the series, not just in the first few episodes.

I will absolutely be rewatching numerous times. In fact, I’m posting this as I’m about to rewatch it for the first time since I watched it several months ago. Can’t believe how excited I am to see this cast and these characters again and I don’t even remember any details right now. LOL!
