That was far too long. Toward the middle you barely got OTP screen time and this was truly one drama where not only was chemistry on point, but they had a mature and committed relationship. The business stuff got boring and the bad guys were obnoxious. The last 10-15 episodes you could tell they were stretching for story line. The very last few episodes though, you get the sweetest OTP moments. So watch it for ML and FL but be ready to hit that fast forward button...ALOT ;)
Action - romance - business - sabotage - business - daddy issues - business - sabotage - business - romance (OMG, they’re so cute!!) - (oh wait back to...) business - sabotage - business - romance - sabotage (evil lurking) - daddy issue - sabotage - romance - business - BORED BORED FAST-FORWARD. This drama is seriously way too long and it’s rehashing this same cycle of success followed by underhanded schemes of antagonist. By ep. 33, I’m scrubbing through whole episodes.
Aside from my little grievances below, this was quite the surprise. It was a nice balance of fluff while still maintaining a storyline. The plot holes were not glaring and the writer tried to wrap it at a good pace.
ML’s acting really stood out as I think he is fairly new on the scene. Fireworks scene toward the end exploded my heart to pieces for him. Oh and when he meets ...for the first time in ep.23. Gah. The feels. I also liked the character and actress for He Ruo Yao.
Romance was there all throughout but don’t expect in your face romance with super kissy scenes. The chemistry was good. I would recommend it.
How does she not seem conflicted at all by the Young Lord’s request for her to go with him? She briefly mentions…
Also, how does she never look sad when she’s separated from ML? When she was at the Bai after leaving ML with crazy childhood crush, she was prancing about and now she’s about to go away with Young Lord and she’s happily chatting about food and being her usual ditzy self. Suddenly really having a hard time connecting with FL.
This was cute, fluffy...I was really enjoying it...and then ep. 18 happened and I was left scratching my head...
How does she not seem conflicted at all by the Young Lord’s request for her to go with him? She briefly mentions that the Zhou house may be brought down by the Lord but I would have liked to see a little more conflicting emotions. She easily gave up on their relationship when ML’s past lover came back and she is doing the same again. I hope we see more fight in her for the relationship like ML has shown.
Whoever designed this poster needs to be fired. I came across this drama before and passed on it because the poster looked like it was from the 90s and it didn’t spark any interest. I know, I know. Don’t judge a book by its cover. I’m glad I saw the reviews here though and now I am watching this.
Ok. Ep. 22 straight pissed me off. FL is a dumbass. Why do they make FLs so dim?
OMGeee!!! I thought we learned our lesson in the last ep., but noooooo! WTF?! FL why did you ruin this drama?!? Writer, did you really run out of the smart and romantic material you started with?? Why the personality change for the daring, go-getter FL? How does she not understand what’s going on?!?
Ok. Ep. 22 straight pissed me off. FL is a dumbass. Why do they make FLs so dim?
There was absolutely no reason for her to start hanging out with the bro when ML specifically requested her not to and she saw the hurtful relationship they have. Then she lies when bro is at her house. Then she runs over to protect bro asks why ML is acting like that. C’mon, FL. Any woman would run to her man. Even if he hits someone, you run to them to stop them and give them a piece of your mind. Ugh. Even if your SO trusts you, he can justifiably be pissed at the other party.
Fluffy romance that doesn’t take itself too seriously and misunderstandings are resolved within the episode or the beginning of the next. The characters are all adorable. Nice, chill drama with a cute couple with god chemistry. I love Daddi Tang in this after being mostly annoyed with him in PYHOMS. I can’t wait for his drama as ML!
He look on point in Way Back Into Live and I enjoyed his acting. His look and character are such a step up from PYHOMS. I hope to see him in many more lead roles!

Have you seen Flower of Evil? I enjoyed that one. Lee Joon Gi drama for the win!
