The first three episodes are incredibly engaging, with amazing acting throughout 👏 I love the chemistry between the leads, as well as the second couple too ❤️
The ML can cook 🤭 and some of the food looks absolutely delicious.
I also really enjoy the bromance between the ML and Deng Wei Yu it feels like he finally has the brother he always wanted.

Fun fact: the ML gained 21 kg for the role he went from 64 kg to 85 kg.

Another sweet detail is that the ML and FL are married in real life. After filming the drama, they developed a romantic relationship and now have a baby together.



Totally recommend this drama! It’s available on iQIYI.

A down to earth delight

Historically, I've dreaded the tradition in Taiwanese Dramas for a massive makjang meltdown between halfway and three-quarters. This one had very little, thankfully.
I ended up raising its score significantly for the way the final episodes showed the outcome for every character's choices. It wasn't about karma or punishment for those who chose to use and hurt others. Instead it just showed that decisions and choices people make through life have consequences.
I love that in the very final episode, those people whose choices were negative, and for whom the consequences were similarly negative, barely featured at all. The entire last 20 minutes was a celebration of the outcome of making positive choices. And the real-life married couple who played the leads were outstanding together from beginning to end.
