I think this drama had a lot of high points and low points, but overall it was a pretty good watch. The story is about a model, named Eva, with a "balloon disease", which makes her unable to eat past a certain amount of calories without ballooning up in weight. The male lead, Ruan Dongsheng, is a famous chef with an inability to taste. He was Eva's crush in high school but due to a misunderstanding, she now hates him. I think the message of this drama is really sweet. When Eva was still a high schooler, she was humiliated badly for her weight, which caused her to have very low self confidence. She always feared people would find out what she truly looked like. However, through reuniting with him as an adult, Eva learns to be more confident in herself.
I'd never watched a drama with any of these actors or actresses before, so going in, I didn't have many expectations for it in terms of acting, but I was pleasantly surprised by how well they acted. I especially loved Luo Yiren's character and her contrasting personalities. I think the message that she conveys is very powerful and was surprised to find that this was her first main role. The chemistry between the two main leads was also very strong, and it felt very believable and sweet.
The OST was one of the most beautiful I've heard. The opening theme, "Colorful", is so catchy and uplifting, and the song that the main character sings, "So In Love", is also very beautiful.
The disease can often be off-putting at times, and there were parts that were noticeably draggy. The main character definitely made some really questionable choices when it came to her relationship with Ruan Dongsheng, but overall, it was a really sweet drama that will give you cavities :D
