Easy and Sweet Romance Drama with touches of comedy

I read the reviews when the drama first came out and was on the fence about watching however if you are into light / easy romance dramas this is the one for you.

Some have commented that the plot was lost but I didn't feel that way because the flow of the drama was rather nice with touches of comedic scenes sprinkled not thrown in additionally the minor roles enjoying a small part of having the spotlight with their own fighting scenes and romances.
I have diverted from the tear jerking/soul wrecking drama(s) of Eternal Love and rather enjoy these so called simple romances (no eyes / heart digging or layers upon layers of lovers betrayal with massive murders) also not into the really old man falling for a 15 year old kid which have been overplayed.

I did not see the dean of the college (ML) to be a creepy guy falling for a student. Mind, we can't take the modern rules of hands off student / teacher relationship because the FL is the first female student in that college (happened to be of marriageable age too) and so being simple minded the script is based on guy meets girl, they fall in love at the work place (technically), go through some obstacles of normal lives (of that era) and end up being together.

Another aspect was the fact the FL was the first student into the imperial college and emphasize should be on her being a student and excelling etc however women of that era never went to school so what makes people think she would graduate as a top honor student? She is a 20 year old entering college because of her late brother's wishes it is a feat to be able to read and write during those times let alone go to school for a year and sit for the imperial exams eventually getting on the honor roll.

my criticism is mostly that the production crew were slightly sloppy with the filming - the lighting / angles of shots and certain scenes were poorly done.
another were the costumes - nothing much to fault to a certain degree except maybe the colors/style of the costumes which was selected for the ML (I know he looked terrible in a couple BUT not all).

I noticed too that a scene - ML and FL standing in the snow and the ML fixing the FL cape is missing, that scene was promoted on posters but it's not in the actual drama which is rather disappointing.

Overall, watchable and feel good.
