perhaps not dazzling enough but it certainly “sparkle”, “glimmers” and “glows” … ?

I decided to watch this drama because a reviewer said that it was a “natural” drama that was very “slice of life” and not something over the top and overly dramatic and crazy. Well, I enjoyed this drama enough! ☺️ I think 8.5/10 is fair because I think it’s better than average.

What I Liked:
- FL was very natural in her acting. ML was very good too. They had chemistry.
- The supporting cast acted well too. The mothers and sons were cute. Their camaraderie seemed very believable and thus, very enviable.
- I liked that FL wasn’t a pushover. She had her own mind and she was practical. Once she understood her circumstances and her limitations, she adapted, she pivoted and she continued to try her utmost. I liked what she said about trying not to have regrets in life. However, if there are regrets, accept them and move forward as well as possible. She also talked about making her best possible decisions / moves within what was possible.
- I liked how they continued to lift each other up and to continue to live their best lives possible despite the many obstacles - both big and small setbacks. In life, we certainly face many trials and tribulations. And, we need to continue to push forward or perhaps, creep forward because time and tide wait for no one and the sun also rises. We need to keep on going albeit slowly and despite our pain.
- Ending was happy which I always like. I look forward to happy endings because they give me hope for real life happy endings.

What I Didn’t Like:
- I hated Cao Ping and his sister. Luckily, they “reformed”.
- The perverted man with no morals.
- Rather senseless fight scenes. (Luckily, the FL would usually appear to get them to stop fighting.)

Overall, I think it’s a modern drama which deserves a watch. It is very watchable. Some parts are motivational / inspirational. 💪🏼🫰🏼🙏🏼🤭
