Watch this series only if you like Timmy Xu

I cannot believe I wasted almost 25 hours to finish this drama!!!!

Only saving grace was Timmy Xu. He single handedly saved this show .....hmmm...I wouldn't say save, he made it bearable. This is my first show with the FL, my god!!!! this female is brick faced. Throughout the show she was just pouting. 95% of the time i didn't know whether she was happy, sad, angry, annoyed etc. In one of the scenes she tells Zeyi that I am very happy today....I was like " really girl, thanks for letting me know" . I got angry whenever she sang "red elephant, small elephant" song. I felt like hitting her with something.

Now let's get down to the story of the show......

The show begins with FL's friend selling the house (which is not hers) to the hero "Zeyi". I mean its the house where you grew up with your dad. Your dad designed it in memory of your mom. But trust me she was not at all angry. In opposite she blamed the hero for buying the house ( I mean, i really laughed like anything for her common sense). Audacity of the FL's friend is also admirable. I really thought you both deserve each other. Throughout the show I saw her go to the Cafe where she works only thrice, I really don't understand how she supported herself before marrying Zeyi (I know its just a show, but at some point audiences common sense kicks in, then you start questioning every loop holes, trust me there are many loop holes). She explains she loves to hear nature's sound, so she records sound. You can see this in only one episode.
Now about SL, he is someone who cannot feel pain. If you are a drama fan (Korean or Chinese) , you might have seen many leads with this syndrome and nailing it. But this guy, my god!! Bland. There is no connection at all when he says he likes FL.

I saw other reviews saying it's the best adaptation or good chemistry. I really don't understand what chemistry people saw. There is no skinship b/n the leads whatsoever. I mean they lived in a single house for a year, trust me nothing, not even holding hands. Even after they confess their love, no skinship. So really felt the feelings were forced.

I cannot emphasize enough, only if you love Timmy Xu then only watch this show.
