Loved the fire chemistry and kisses .. I love romance

I was waiting for this, but somehow wasn't feeling like it was interesting enough so i left it in my plan to watch *that's being shelved for life in my books*, but after a month or so I watched like two episodes and then put it on hold, but somehow I still wanted to watch it so i left it in currently watching. I came back a few times and never continued, but i eventually give in, i initially thought it wouldn't be as interesting or the romance wouldn't be what i expected, boy was i wrong hahaha... the romance was great, the kisses was amazing and the chemistry was fire.. sweet ost's too.

Definitely don't regret watching it, and I'll recommend if you love romance. The story was nice, the chemistry was great, the romance was sweet, the family relationship with the FL, her brother and grandpa was great, and the ML's friends were the best. they had some great coworkers too.

I left feeling content and pleased. I've always loved Bin Bin and Janice's works but i wasn't sure what to expect with romance since this is the first time I'm watching a main role of hers since she got married, but... the chemistry she had with Bin Bin was amazing, don't talk about their kisses.. *me blushing* haha

The chemistry and story was amazing.

This was so much better than I could have expected. I was so captivated, interested from the first episode to the last. I haven't watched a drama like that in so long. Every episode was interesting, it truly felt like i was finally watching something new. I got to 33 episodes without realizing it, like this is new for me. I usually don't like lengthy modern drama, but i could have watched some more of this show. It was very well written, the acting was great, the chemistry was on point, the couple was just perfect together. Everything was wrapped up well. Not much angsty scenes at all. It truly is probably the best of my 2022 so far.

What I also liked about this show is the leads, when they were in law school and after, the way they were emerged in their roles was very interesting to see, the legal terms and everything they said pertaining to the law, they did a great job, they definitely came of as they knew what hey were talking about, many times you watch a law show or doctor and it somehow doesn't get integrated well, but this show the actors, romance and story was well written and put together. Even the story of second leads, i usually don't go for second couple but everything was interesting and well written. I will definitely miss this show and i usually never say stuff like that.

Maybe because my expectations was quite low, but i usually don't go into shows with a high expectations, this one definitely supercede what i thought it would be like. Thumbs up ? ? ? ❤

Edit:
I forgot to mention that the SML Li Chong Wen the actor Garvey Jin, I've seen him in second lead roles and lead roles, in my opinion this was his best role yet and his acting didn't make me cringe at all. Thought he needed a S/O ?

Very interesting show, not a bad watch at all..

This was pretty good, could have been better though and I'll explain why.

I loved the story a lot, I cannot complain much about that, the whole idea of the mysterious FL was pretty good, and the rich and goofy ML, usually its the opposite, its great to see this change.

I loved the FL character from beginning to the end, she was a no nonsense, i can defend myself, cool and classy FL without coming off arrogant. Her mysterious background really kept up the suspense which I liked a lot, and her outfits were all soo beautiful, definitely a plus for this drama, tbh basically all the outfits were out together really great, what a breathe of fresh air. The intro song or rather instrumental i really liked it a lot.

The ML was great, all the previous roles I saw him in he was always serious, who knew he was can also be this diverse and act like a total clumsy guy lol. His outfits were sometimes weird, but it matched his character haha, he was also pretty funny and crazy at times, but he did a great job with his roles.

The villains, and secondary characters were also very good as well, the one girl really makes you wanna go crazy lool.. The other supporting cast were all pretty good, the ML bestie and bodyguard, assistant, i think he was his everything haha, i loved his character as well, good characters.

The romance was nice, but tbh... at one point i was so sick and tied of seeing the supporting cast, like who's drama is this?!.. later on in the show you literally hardly saw the leads, it was so annoying, you got more romance from the side couple which is crazy, if they had worked more on that then i would have given a better ratings. I skipped most of those stuff in the later episodes, even the leads there was intimate things they didn't do until much much later in the show, weird.. but they did have good chemistry, that wasn't too bad.

All in all, I have seen some really terrible dramas, this was definitely not a bad drama though.. i have no regrets watching it.. it's good to watch after you seen something that's heavy

Starts slow, but its definitely worth the watch.

"I will only deserve the best of you when I become the best of myself"

I saw this drama for a while now, I wanted to watch it but I can't remember why I changed my mind. I saw someone's review/recap online, and since the stuff i currently watching and want to watch was still being subbed and not air as yet, I decided to give this a chance, I went in with no expectation for this drama to leave any impression on me, even the first few episodes were simple, and I wasn't fully engaged in the drama, but after it became soo interesting, the relationship and how it started was great, there were also some emotional scenes that the actors/actresses did such an amazing job portraying such emotions, i was utterly impressed with those scenes.

As the drama started coming to an end there were a lot of life lessons and encouraging stuff that kept me entertained. The quote above truly depict the drama and the title of the drama, and what the FL and i guess everyone else wanted to do, be the best of themselves so they can be with the best of each other and their significant other, I think that concept is truly beautiful and really made me enjoy and appreciate this drama.

Its different

This isn't my usual type of Cdrama, and I saw some comments and stuff and decided not to watch anyways. But my favourite blogger for recaps the review was pretty good and was rated 4/5 so i decided to give this a chance.

I liked it, I liked that they talked about different things that affect people in society right now. Some stuff like disability, social class, psychological health, I don't think I've personally watched any Cdrama about that. For this reason I did not mind all the other cliche in this.

There were funny moments, and some really sad ones as well, but i liked how this show was pretty realistic, its the first time i actually agree with there separated, i think it was needed for some time until things settle down or change a bit.

This may not be for everyone, but i do hope my review would help anyone still considering whether to watch this or not. I would have given a 9, but I think the writers should have change a few things, it would have made this a lot better.

Light and fluffy

This drama was vert light and fluffy, the ML surprised me tbh, i seen him as second lead in put your head on my shoulder, and then this, sooo much difference, so very mature, he did a great job with his role, it was very believable. The FL as always very sweet and cute, she is so short and the ML is soo tall and they're literally the cutest couple... soooo cute

If you're looking for something lighthearted and fluffy, you got the right show here. you wouldn't be disappointment with all the sweetness when the couple get together. something to watch that would put you in great sweet fluffy mood.

Suspenseful and Entertaining

I watched the drama a few days ago, just getting around giving my review.

This drama, at first i wasn't sure whether to watch it or not, there were so much mixed reviews, but i decided to give it a chance and i stuck through it.

It's very very entertaining, full of plot twist and suspense i loved that the most about this drama.

there is however just a few things i was.t so fond off, the romance screen time for the "Main Leads" the ones who's names are first and are the center of the poster, tbh there were more romantic scenes between the other couple than , although it was nice, i really wanted more romantic scene time for the main main couple. The other issue i had was that the main main lead girl, she was sooooooo dense, ah mean it was sooo bad i couldn't believe it, but i guess they did that to make the other main girl look good, cause she was the more mature and smart one, even though they're the same age, which is weird, you would swear she was a few years older, how much the other main lead actress acted like she was idk extremely silly and dense. the last issue was the ending, it was great, but one of the main plot, the ending did not satisfy this for me, i really wished they had shown some scenes or mention about that, trying not to mention any spoilers,

..But if you do watch it you'll know exactly what i mean, it's not a deal breaker anyways, i enjoyed this drama either way, it was very entertaining to watch, no regrets here. Just know it's not perfect, but it is a good entertaining and interesting show

It was going well, until the end...

I was enjoying this light heart drama, it was truly very sweet and the pace was pretty good.

The chemistry was good, the story was good, and the acting was good.

The best friend/second couple, i really loved how that played out, it was unexpected, but they did a great job with the decision the best friend made, it was rational and she placed her happiness, pride, feelings and heart above anything else and got the happiness she deserved instead of waiting for something toxic.

While watching this i kept wondering why the reviews score was a 7.9, i kept thinking that does not give it justice, until the last 2 episode. I just finished watching it, so this is fresh off my thoughts. Everything was going well until the female lead got a phone call saying the ML is giving up his dreams for hers or whatever, i did not like that, but i kind of let it go, FL started thinking about it and had a convo with ML kind of about it, but never mention about the phone call. She then got another call, this one worse than the first and i was sooo upset about it, to make it worse she made certain decisions after that and this for me ruined the drama.

This is why, the ML is a cold man as they mentioned, but he had already told the FL earlier and before they officially started dating that no one can make him do what he does not want too, actually FL is the first to even mention that, as that's what she knows about him, that he doesn't let anyone influence what he wants or don't want... so can someone tell me why she thinks him going to Japan with her isn't his own decision?? And then the fact that that rude phone call wasn't addressed, like i was so upset because of that. She knew him well enough before they started dating and all of a sudden, its like she doesn't know his personality. What she ended up doing, was forcing him to do something he did not want to do. She should have understood him, especially after having a similar convo with him mom prior about those type of decisions, to be this is what made this lose some stars.

Then, the last scene or the ending was just blah... it really was a good lighthearted drama, but would have gotten a 9.5 in my books based solely on it being light hearted and good. But the ending just didn't do it justice.

All in all, it's a good watch.

Strong Female Lead From Beginning to The End

I loved this drama mainly because its rare to hahe a strong female lead, who scrually stays strong throughout the drama. The FL here, she was great, acting as both a male and female, she did such a greta job. Her acting was great, she sold me with her detective role and loved it. From beginning to the end, she just got better.

I loved how the ML and FL didn't clash with there roles, though the FL was smart and witty, the ML was great as well truly a great team and we cannot forget the friends/secondary characters everyone's role blended well together and created a beautiful drama. I usually get annoyed with most second couple, but i wasn't with this one, especially the SCFL she was so adorable, loved her.

The story is oretty great, it stuck up until the end, solving one crime after another, its truly entertaining. The MC whenever there were issues they solved it right away, it was great to see that without waiting 10 episodes for issues to be realised, the most you waited was 1.

You should pick this drama up, its nice and lighthearted, if you love mysteries, you'll love this one, and the romance is pretty sweet.

Its a great watch

This drama was really good, i watched it recebtly after seeing the korean a few years back, i honestly didn't know that there was a Japanese version that came out before the Korean. I loved the Korean version very much, so when i saw this *original* i realised there was some difference but i loved this.. the cast was just great, the growth and character development was great for the MC, i loved that a lot. Seeing your flaws and changing to be a better you, wonderful message.

The romance was just so awkward but soooooo adorable, man... trust me, you'll fall in love with how adorable the ML is too... hahaha

Sweet voice, sweet food, sweet love! ?

I haven't seen the ML in any show, but i know he's in Lost you forever, haven't seen it as yet, I did watch the FL for the first time in BFTB, and she was incredible there.

With that being said, I had this in my list and was so happy when I saw it finally started airing, I'm happy I only came back after a friend mentioned it was a NBU drama (NoBreakUp), so I didn't check out the comment section, so I blindly went in and boy did I have a great time watching this

This show is just simply a pure, sweet romance, and it worked, because you had chemistry with our MC that was oozing from the first episode, and throughout the show. The way they looked at eachother you'll think they were in love for real ?. They also had some intense sexual tension between them ?, yet was sooo pure and sweet. No annoying FL, No mean ML, A wonderful ML who was so caring and sweet, and a FL who was just as nice just a man who loves a woman and her voice, and a woman who loves a man, his voice and his food, with some extremely incredible friends and a warm family ❤️

It was truly my cup of tea, I loveeee shows with singing and have only enjoyed Love scenery so far with that genre, and I am a sucker for sappy, sweet romance so if you like those things, plus food, you'll enjoy this.

Its really that simple. ?

If you know what you're getting into, either you'll watch and stick with it, or not watch at all.

I finished it!!... after reading through the comments and spoilers, and having nothing to watch, I decided to jump right in. As mentioned the first 11 episode were really, really hard to watch, but knowing their were some light at the tunnel, and my type of light too, I decided to just skip through unnecessary people and scenes, after around episode 13 or so, I didn't skip as much and did enjoy the latter part of the show, it still wasn't by any means "good", but decent enough if you have nothing else to watch, and you're okay skipping through some scenes and people until around episode 12.

It was mostly because of the FL, I didn't hate her and I wasn't quite annoyed, most people probably will be, but I was trying to be positive, she isn't a bad person, she's just righteously innocent and naive?!. She does have serious character development, so that's why I stuck through.

I did enjoy their romance a lot (when it did start), the acting, and OSTs the plot was the major issue here, the way they wrote the FL in the first half, and the way they wrote that one major anti-climatic scene haha.

The villains were all disturbingly disgusting tbh... where did they get the inspiration for these men? haha, they just kept getting worse. This one third-wheeler were way too obsess, he had some really funny scenes because of his nonsense, and it was not just the type of funny as in comedy, I was laughing "at" him!..

if you're able to withstand that, then by all means give it a try. Do I regret watching it? if I didn't know what I was getting into I would have, but I knew, so I don't I enjoyed the last episode.

It was hard deciding how to rate this, but i give an 8 because I knew what I was getting into, I liked the romance, the ending, the acting and the Ost's.

*NOTE - IT MAY SEEM SLOW AT FIRST, BUT AFTER EPISODE 4, YOU WOULDN'T REGRET WATCHING THIS*

This was actually way better than I thought it would be. I went through the info so many times, and decided it wasn't worth it. But then I kept going back, until I started it and finished it within 24 hours ?. Its a truly weirdly unique drama, but give it a chance.

This was a truly funny, sweet and entertaining drama. I've never seen a comedy Chinese other than those old historical martial arts one from the 90's. This one was truly funny, so many wonderful and unique characters, I'm literally still smiling when I think about them as I write this.

The main couple had good chemistry and the second couple was just plain nyts ??, but in the funniest and unique way ever. The FL in this was great, her voice was a bit annoying but she wasn't, she did a great job with her role, solved soo many investigation and was truly smart and quick witted through the series, this show is nothing without her truly the amazing character. The ML was pretty good as well, I loved how much he loved the FL.

Other than the comedy, I truly love the story of this show, i love all the investigation scenes, it was very good, it was a great balance with the romance included as well. There were some truly sad moments, truly romantic and sweet moments as well, I really am happy that i watched this. The song/Ost is pretty good and the nursery rhyme was soo catchy

The only issue I had is that the ML needed to do a bit more to keep up with the FL, she outshined him by a lot, even at one point he secretly knows martial arts like really well, but didn't really use it, especially in a few scenes when he could have, idk... those parts were really weird, and the last part when he was sitting there, hmm.. i deducted from my rating because of that.

So, I do recommend this drama, if you're looking for something to watch that has beautiful romance, plot twist, serious moments with some good comedy, then give this a chance, I really don't regret watching this, I was left satisfied, that means that I enjoyed watching this simply but very entertaining show.

This show was actually really nice, i watched it with my sister and niece. It was very entertaining in my opinion, i loved the story, the cast and the music, it was very good.

Im not sure why the reviews are so low for this show, I'm picky and if something truly isn't good I'll be fair. So this is my honest review.

I couldn't wait for the next episodes, this was soo entetaining and it eas a different story from what I've ever seen, there were some questionsable scenes, but apart from that its no reason to give a low rating, the music, actinf and the story itself surpasses any tiny flaws this may or may bot have.

I'd say, give this one a chance and see for yourself whether it's good or not. Me and my sister and niece thought it was really.good, suspenseful and entertaining. And the music in this, i I haven't felt this good about catchy music since the legend of the blue sea, even my husband kept asking what we were watching because of the music in this.

Fluffy romcom for when you have nothing else to watch!

Another drama i took so long to watch, well tbh agter reading the comments I had give up watching this, but I found it in a fluffy romcom list, and thats the genre I really like, plus i had nothing else to watch soo why not just give it a chance.

It wasn't great, but it also wasn't bad at all. If you have nothing else to watch, you like fluffh romcom, then you can watch this. Its nothing great, but I've definitely seen worse, and I don't regret watching it.

I liked the ML and FL together, I also dont really like older woman and younger men show, but the second couple was okay, I liked them (if you get passed how fast they got together ?), the thurd couple... I just skipped them eventually when needed, there was no need for them to be a couple tbh!.

I liked how when the FL and ML finally got together, the FL didn't just accept right away, it made sense the way she was thinking, if you watch it you'll understand.. don't want to spoil it, but I'm happy that she didn't just accept him right away after trying to woo him for so long, she wanted to make sure that it was "real" and he was genuine. I don't mind the ending, for a fluffy, simple show, it was fine.

Ps. I've come to realize I just need to watch whatever I feel like, reagrdless of comments, rating etc, you just never know what you'll find. It definitely satisfied the drama slump I was in, and there is no heavy angsty stuff, so again.. if you're into fluffy romcom, that's simple you may like this, if not then you may not like this, either way, whether you give it a try or not its up to you! ??
