I've seen this multiple times now and I still love it. Sometimes I have to pause when I know the cringe is coming, but it's still amazing. It's not common that a drama actually makes me laugh out loud, but I absolutely love this one. It's one of my go-to comfort shows, where when I just wanna curl up and watch something sweet this is one of my usual fall backs.

I love the leads and their entire dynamic, with Si Tu Mo not just being the ditzy to Gu Wei Yi's smart, but instead having an equal relationship with just as much give and take. Gu Wei Yi is portrayed as intelligent, but not overbearingly in all aspects of life like you'd get from most smart male leads. He's also not arrogant about it, once again, like most smart male leads would be, and never puts Si Tu Mo down or makes her feel any lesser for not having his level of intelligence, as he seems to also understand in just how many ways her intelligence can be superior to his own in other fields of life.

They had a lot of cute scenes together that truly showed their dynamic, and I really am a sucker for whenever stereotypically "mature" characters get the chance to act like complete children, which they both do a lot. They each show different layers of themselves and their own maturity through their actions for each other and in general. Them calling a rumba their child and referring to themselves as its parents, them having fun in a ball pit, them having a watermelon eating competition to determine who likes it more, him hiding her food in a high place when she's ignoring him so she has to talk to him, but then also their level of communication where they complain about each other before ultimately apologizing 30 seconds later and forgoing fights which in other shows could have spanned multiple episodes.

I think it's just kind of refreshing to see what's actually a pretty healthy relationship. Not too much excess drama, no one TRULY tearing them apart (a little bit from side characters, but there's no backstabbing or plotting, just a touch of good old fashioned jealousy which encourages the characters to acknowledge their feelings for each other). Strong communication where they both have their boundaries and if Si Tu Mo tells him not to touch her, to let go of her from a hug, or just in general she doesn't want to go any further, he back off. No forcing her to do anything, no uncomfortable "Was that sexual assault...?" no saying he just couldn't help himself, he lets go, he takes a step back. He proceeds to actively talk out what's happening even though you can tell they're both uncomfortable talking about everything, especially him at times, he's not the most talkative person ever. But they still proceed to talk it out and maybe hug after if they're both okay with it.

All in all, I just love their innocent dynamic and respect of consent, and highly recommend this to anyone looking for a cute, completely uncontroversial show to brighten their day.
