Highly recommend but only read this if you've finished the drama

Production: The Chinese drama market is very fast-paced and production can be lacking. However, when watching this drama, I can see and feel all the thoughts that went into it. There are so many cute details and smooth easter eggs that make me continue to rewatch this drama.
Acting: I've liked WanPeng since her first drama and thought her acting was good as a newcomer. Her acting has always been very natural but I think she has improved a lot. This drama is Lin YanJun's first male lead drama and his acting truly surprised me. Very natural just like WanPeng. Both of them are great. I only see them getting even better. I also like the two of them a lot as they are hardworking, down-to-earth, humble.
Visuals + OST: Amazing visuals! Especially loved the raining umbrella scene, from the green leaves, rain sound, and the music. Very soothing and healing vibes. [IDK if international fans know but SuYan, the couple of the main leads, legit translates to "barefaced" or "a face without makeup". Because the color scheme of this whole drama is very soothing and has no major skin-toning, making everything very natural. OSTs of the drama are great and is mixed well into specific scenes of the drama. Also gotta love the cute sounds added whenever the leads do something funny or unexpected.
Story: Overall, the story is great and everything connects relatively well. However, towards to end even though it ends well, I do think they rushed it slightly. I saw on Weibo that they filmed other storylines from the novel but it didn't make the cut into the final drama. (Acceptable since it would feel slightly abrupt if those storylines from the novel were added to the drama) but I do wish they had a longer scene of WuYan saying goodbye to her friend that passed away and explain a little more about her overcoming that mental hurdle. That 10sec scene of her friend just saying goodbye makes me feel like they just cut the entire scene out. Honestly, maybe it's just my extreme love for the drama, but I think 1-2 more episodes would be great. Just to explain more about her mental state, and scenes through her pregnancy and sweet marriage (I'm being greedy ahaha).

Someone tell me if I should pick it up again!

I decided to watch this drama because I watched a small clip of it and thought it was pretty cute but...
I almost stopped watching after the first few episodes. All the characters have some major personality traits that don't sit well with me. Only the roommate and the front-desk girl are normal to me.
The FL, I was like "What is wrong with her!" the whole time she was making a scene because the house she used to live in got legally rented out to someone. Honestly, if I was that guy, I would've just called the police and then he nicely let her stay because the grandma talked to him, then she makes some stupid rule about the water. But I will admit, she gets less annoying later on.
Now, the ML and second ML. Am I wrong to say they're kinda creepy. Kissing the FL when she's having a panic attack in the elevator or pretending to be drunk so she'll take him home. Their actions give me so many red flags. I was furrowing my brows the whole I was watching.
What really made me drop this drama is the ML's ex-gf. She trespasses his house within the few scenes she got introduced. She looks through his stuff and wears his clothes. Does the police not exist in this drama?! IDK why any of this is okay?!

Can someone tell me when it gets good or if dropping it is the correct decision? Because honestly the clip that got me interested in the drama was pretty cute.
