Just started watching and I love how they're using moles/birthmarks to identify the younger versions of characters instead of doing that cringy thing where they just put adults in school uniforms
It’s not too bad, but not amazing either. It’s pretty average, but the chemistry between the leads saves it. The story is good and 'lighthearted.' It feels like the author watched a bunch of shows in this genre and said, "This time, everything is going to work out"
I have mixed feelings about this drama. The main couple is perfect, they have amazing chemistry and their relationship is built slowly in a really beautiful way. But I couldn’t help noticing the message in this drama that you’re supposed to marry within your social class. It reminded me of how China was cracking down on CEO and poor employee dramas lol, because they were creating this idea that a Prince Charming would magically show up and save women. Maybe that’s why this message exists in this drama too, if you look closely there’s the FL’s story with Zhuang Xu and also the ML’s parents’ story. And honestly, relationships between people from very different social classes are really difficult (and it’s not easy to find either).
Still, I can’t help feeling a bit of heartbreak for Zhuang Xu. Even if it wouldn’t have worked out, I wish they had at least lived their love. He lost the chance to experience love because he underestimated himself, and that’s just really sad.
I’m dropping this drama here at episode 17. There are a lot of things I didn’t like about it, but honestly it’s mostly because of the moment I’m living right now, I’m just not prepared for this series. It is visually stunning, the actors, the sets, the costumes… everything looks amazing. But the story is just so much pain and sadness. And on top of that, I grew to hate the kid and the goddess, because every single moment someone has to save her from something and she just makes that helpless face, I can’t take it anymore.
But like I said, I think it’s because I’m going through a hard time myself and I just can’t handle it right now. I’ll leave it for my future self to watch. I did the same with Till the End of the Moon, I dropped it, then came back later and rewatched everything, and it was great.
Don’t expect anything deep.... it’s just a light, kinda silly romance. I feel like instead of that uncle plot…
tbh, even tho those clichés i hate are in the show, since it's short, they don't get thrown at you all the time. the drama isn't drawn out either & they sort out misunderstandings fast. so yeah, it's still a light watch
It’s that good, fresh romance Jung So Min always gives us!! I loved it, but the uncle plot was sooo bad I skipped…
Don’t expect anything deep.... it’s just a light, kinda silly romance. I feel like instead of that uncle plot they could’ve focused on her relationship with his family, but then it would’ve turned into ANOTHER cliché plot… and honestly, the worst one for me is when they reveal the leads met as kids. That trope is SO annoying

Ugh it annoys me SO much when I’m watching a K-drama and they suddenly drop the “they met as kids” thing. Like pleaseee 😩 this one even broke a record................ episode 2 already!
Aside from what I already said, the story is actually good. But I also think this is the Chinese drama with the most beautiful people I’ve ever seen. It’s honestly stunning.... the set design, the costumes, the special effects. Even though the story slows down a bit in the middle for me, it gets really good again toward the end, and the plot is well put together with no loose ends and a solid ending.
Still, I can’t help feeling a bit of heartbreak for Zhuang Xu. Even if it wouldn’t have worked out, I wish they had at least lived their love. He lost the chance to experience love because he underestimated himself, and that’s just really sad.
