Charming leads, Cute Side couples, Fluffy Romance
SURPRISE SURPRISE! Never Expected the drama to turn out so well towards the end....not the best but definitely have its charms.Story:
An unexpected male lead, a strong female lead. Usually we see the ML "taking the baton of the drama" but in this case, the female lead takes it instead. Instead of a male lead focused where ML is the one who 'saving damsel in distress' , here we get the FL who give it all for her childhood friend who is having difficulties in socializing. She is not weak and she does not bow down to any difficulties she faced when trying to help the ML overcome his anti-social syndrome. Honestly, this may not be the most developed story plot or the most "roller coaster" plot twist or anything, but it definitely WARMS YOUR HEART <33
*Relatively smooth sailing drama with no major plot twists or triangle romance.
Romance:
Lightest to Light romance (With a little 'fire' at the last few episodes, you wont regret!). As a long time drama fan, I'm used to 'intense romance' but for this, I definitely didn't mind the slow paced & light romance at all. Initially, i have mental prepared myself as I read the comments below. However, it turns out that it is actually paced really well and it fits this drama very well. What I really love is how the couple developed their relationship from innocent childhood friends, to a loving and understanding couple. It was light but filled with sweet moments. Watch it with an open heart is all I can say.
Casts:
Awesome cast! The main couple is not just the only pair you should look out for. The side couples are equally sweet although their relationship wasn't really developed/clear until the end.
Cons of the drama:
If I have to point out any flaws, it will be how the side couples took so long to get together due to the "stupidity" of the guy.
Overall:
Right story with the right casts! May not be the most developed school romance story but definitely the most warm warming one. Watch it with no stress at all. Slow paced romance but not any less of sweet moments.

Game concept dubbing circle? typical met from childhood couple, short and sweet but not perfect.
[Plot-wise ]It started out great, the plot was paced right and it was interesting to see how they do dubbing like a game where all the people could gather and listen to how they do character voicing.
Its actually much more interesting than the other drama (which did dubbing as the theme as well)
however, as this drama's production felt a bit low budget(and it was hard to get the source to watch it), it might not be as "full/abound" and each episode is only 30+ mins. towards the 2nd half of the drama, the scenes/editing of it became choppy, the story felt like it was in a rush to end/wrap up loose ends. Overall, there is still cute moments between the casts. Good as a filler drama in between all your overly-dramatic pieces =)
[Cast]
FL - I've seen her in [Dragon Day, You're Dead] but her acting was little bit stiff, but in this drama she improved a lot!
ML - Very dashing and a diff kind of charm...you might think he is the usual "cold/aloof" male leads, but he is totally not! first few eps is a deceit xDD he is actually kinda cute esp towards the FL. His acting with FL while doing dubbing was totally commendable.
Others - The other actors/actresses acting was decent but not super great.
[Romance]
Romance - ML/FL got together between epi 13-15...Chemistry was not too bad.
Dont expect huge amounts of kisses or deep kiss, but expect many cute moments (those actually compensate it xD)
2 pairs of very cute side couples (eyecandies alert!!)

Amazing Chemistry between the leads
Cons:-Some parts have Cliche storyline
Annoying 2nd Male Lead and Female lead
Too draggy that it becomes a little boring~~
Jealous FL friends that wanna destroy the FL
Biased ML mother
Pros:-
Amazing chemistry between FL/ML, their interactions were really sweet! Zhang Han really know how to act in romance dramas. In fact, every action of zhang han in the drama shows how much he adore the FL. You dont even need kisses to prove that xDDD
Guess what? unexpectedly, there are no breakups! This is such a nice surprise because typically, this kind of drama always have tons of breakups and makeups. There are misunderstandings but it always ends of nicely within 1 or 2 episodes. It does gets a little frustrating but all will end well.
Such a supportive ML father!! He is always respecting his son's decision and helps his son whenever his wife wanna 'sell' his son off to the rich family.
Teachnically, all the leads father is not bad (not to the point where they want destroy Mingyuan group, just some friendly competition between each company) and 2nd ML's father doesnt even comes out often anyways until towards the end of the drama.
Still worth watching because it's definitely not as twists and turns as other CEO dramas or compared to Zhang han's other CEO dramas this is considered mild and nice.

I decided to give it a try after reading all the review and comments here. (of course, i had a hard time looking for eng subbed ones as it was all over the place. Luckily, I found Chinese subbed ones (Phew~)
Anyways, so here I am writing my very first review for a lakorn! (yes i always bury myself deep down MDL, so me floating up the water means this drama is worth it)
Story:
At first, im not so sure about the story, it seems like its full of deceit and lying which is something I really hated in a drama, but it wasnt that bad, it was far way better than i thought. The story line was not boring at all ( I did skip 5s each time, but thats just me. I think I watch too much dramas xD). Anyways, Everything seems to be so in place at the right episode. The first 10 episodes or so is more towards romance of the lead, and the next 13 ep focus more on the story progression, which i think is great!
Cast:
When i watched the trailer i didnt really think the FL was my kind of actress that I would look out for. I totally didnt feel the ML and FL fit each other. But I was so wrong! Their chemistry is DA BOMB! The ML is so damn charming and he has the best smile ever! Makes my heart warm XDD And i have to mention!! He is the smartest male lead ever and I like part where he and his dad work together to 'crack the mystery'.. FL lead was brilliant with acting 2 roles. Most of the cast are alright.
Romance:
IF you are a fan of heavy romance (for thai lakorn, this is considered mild heavy), yup..you reading this, you can pick it up now! xD That's all I would say. You watch it yourself.
Overall:
I like how the story progress and how understanding FL and ML are towards each other. Maybe in the first few ep, you would not expect the ML to act in a certain way but its reasonable because the real lookkeaw was really too much.
P.S. The 2nd couple was really sweet too xD

Good enough light-hearted with subtle romance
Good but not great with some cliche plots~ usually romance ruins such drama of this genre or type. but this drama doesn't dive too deep into romantic relationship yet it was enough to sustain me (a hopeless romantic drama addict xD) it was reasonable amount of romance, on the point, no messy relationship nor plotlines that got to be implicated by "romance".Now, going to the story of this, i like how they did not make the ML to be a perfect ML, he is not the smartest(excluding his talent for hacking) or the most athletic neither the most "golden proportion" ML
(dont get me wrong, JY is still super handsome!! Just that he looks really young still and baby faced xD)
It was getting interesting towards the end....but the story was really 'light'~ I was expecting some great conspiracy or such but it ended on quite a relaxing note. Not a bad thing, but a little bit anti-climax.
However, I actually like how they wrapped up the whole sunho's story (to atone for his wrong-doings but does not deny him the chances to do what he wants after that) making him come back to the school as a better person whether it was for his future police career or as a person in general or his relationship with Kanghee. It was a good 'time-out' .
The drama is relatively light-hearted and no doubt cliche but dont give it too much expectation.
The only thing i was frustrated about is how professor Yu despite being a long-time police still acts emotionally, I would actually expect him to act more calmly as a adult and experienced police officer. but it does gets better towards the end as he realised how his students are risking themselves to solve the crimes.
Side note,
I do love the friendships and relationship they forge in here. =))

You think it's DOTS ? Def Not! Just watch it =)
Same like most people here, initially when the trailer came out I thought that it was a DOTS theme drama due to the character setup and staff...ya know, doctor & police/soldier. Yup like DOTS i know XDDDBut HELL NO! I feel that its better then DOTS...much better!
The story was so interesting that you wont really fast forward..(i FF cuz i was impatient xDD but only a few secs thru those filler scenes)
Story:-
So refreshing! I dont think Ive watch any chinese drama with such story plot so far...(not the so heavy type of action packed/gunfires/police but with fluffy romance etc)
First half of the drama concentrates more on how FL&ML met and more action pack with missions and collaboration between the police and docs(e.g. dispatch to earthquake saving mission, special police mission etc.) This is the part where the love starts to blossom further between the leads.
While the 2nd half of the story concentrates more on the medical side in the hospital and also life after the lead got together.
Cast:-
Absolutely brilliant cast! Baijingting is just too suave! and Sandra Ma was just so natural! The 2nd side couple although was quite annoying at some point but still cute..xD Not to mention ML's older sister is such a GIRL CRUSH xDD wished i had such a sister. xDD kekekekke
Romance:-
The romance in this drama is mesmerizing~~ firstly, very healthy relationship between the leads. Secondly, dont expect any passionate/hot/full-of-skinship romance because those doesnt work with our Main leads in this case. In fact, their romance is just right on point...not more and not less. Def, there are still kisses/hugs/sweet interactions but you will always feel "not enough yet reasonable" If you are the type to look out for 'romance' in drama, dont worry, there are still, just not the typical passionate/hot/full-of-skinship...but the interaction between the leads are still very cute. Just watch it and you wont regret ^_^
Overall:-
Definitely worth a re-watch!! =)))))
