Lee Doo-Na is a walking red flag. She is toxic, rude , narcissistic and completely devoid of empathy.
I think it's best (at least for Lee Won-Jun) that they didn't end up together.
With regards to the drama itself, it started off quiet well, but in my opinon went down hill in the later episodes. I had to force myself to finish the last two episodes to be honest.

16 year olds behaving much more maturely than the vast majority of adults portrayed in dramas. It just goes to show that you don't need stupid amounts of angst or a serial killer sub-plot to make an enjoyable romantic comedy. Korean drama writers, for the love of god, please take notice.

I didn't mind this movie. It shows its age, and was quite slow, and pretty weird in places, but I found it watchable and interesting enough to watch to the end. Has a similar "twist" as the Korean movie "Love at the End of the World", but much, much, MUCH tamer.

This show is so sweet that I got diabetes from watching it.

Quite a slow movie, as well as quite a long movie. It wasn't terrible, but it was far from being a masterpiece. I suspect that had it not had those two explicit sex scenes involving a minor, this movie would not have done very well at the box office and no one would be talking about it today. So, from a business point of view, including those sex scenes was a good decision. Also, it catapulted Kim Go Eun from total obscurity to fame overnight.

Obviously some people don't like watching any sex scenes, but I think that many of the people expressing disapproval here are critising the fact that an adult was shown having sex with a minor. I personally have no problem with sex scenes in TV or movies, however I'm a bit conflicted over this movie, especially considering the sex scenes were quite long and extremely explicit (and a minor was involved).

This reply is a year after you asked, but I'll answer anyway just in case you're still curious. Although the movie doesn't specifically state the school girl's age, in the novel that the movie was based on, she was 17. The actress playing the school girl was 20 when the movie was released.
In the movie, the old man is 70, but he is played by an actor who was 35 when it was filmed (prosthetics and makeup aged him to look 70). The sex scene between these two characters (which was actually just the old man fantasising about having sex with the girl) was filmed with the actor without the prosthetics or makup, as he was imagining himself as a younger man during his fantasy.
The other adult in the novel was "in his 30s". The actor playing this character was just short of his 30th birthday when the film was released. Unlike the first sex scene which was just a fantasy, the sex scene between these two characters really did happen.
The sex scenes are extremely explicit, leaving very little to the imagination.

I'm not suggesting that this movie is brilliant by any means, but I personally found it quite fun and entertaining. If you're looking for a standard enemies to lovers Rom Com (with the understanding that it contains some very explicit sex scenes) then this movie is worth a look. Score: 7½/10

Fu Pei is a d1ck. He's an arrogant, entitled creep. Wang Shan needs her head examined for choosing him.
Gu Wei Yi is quite immature himself, spending considerable amounts of time sulking. Is Si Tu Mo really going to be happy with such a sulky man-child? Lin Yi could probably do with some acting lessons too, as he displayed a total of one facial expression (i.e. blank) during the entire series.

Started off cute and entertaining, but started to get draggy, with long periods of not much happening. If Yang Yang was intending to portray a cardboard cutout of a human being, then his performance was brilliant. However, I suspect what I was witnessing was his limited acting ability. I also found the character of Xiao Nai quite controlling, (politely) ording Bei Wei Wei around and (politely) chastising her publicaly quite often. He came off as a bit of a dick in my opinion. I'm not sure whether Chinese audiences think it is romantic for a male to be in charge of the female, but I personally found it cringy. Anyway, I dropped the drama about half way through.

These episodes are now on YouTube with English subs.

I absolutely love the show, but I'm finding the stalky, manipulative behaviour of Ye Lu Ming quite disturbing. He's a toxic, narcissistic gaslighter, and I keep hoping that He Fan Xing wakes up to his manipulation and tells him where to go.

Shen Ruo Xin's mother is evil. She's a conniving, manipulative, controlling, self-absorbed b1tch.

No competent writer would include a psychopathic male lead who manipulates his victim into a relationship, in a fluffy rom-com. Sure, this plot idea would be fine in a dark thriller, and perhaps even in an adult melodrama, but FFS, not in a fluffy rom-com.

How about you click the spolier box if you're going to post spoiler content.

A (mostly) cute and (mostly) fun show. The story is silly, the writing is less than brilliant (although that may in part be due to the translation) and the acting is quite, actually VERY amateur, with the exception of Amy Sun, who plays her role really well. Don't go into it expecting to see anything that's going to win an Emmy (or the Chinese equivalent). If you just watch it for what it is, and ignore the occassional toxic behaviour from Si Tu Feng and Lin Yi Yang, you'll be entertained.

I was intending to type a lengthy rebuttal, but when I saw that you had the ability to read my mind to discover that I really only "claim" that I am not a prude, when in actual fact I apparently am one, well I decided not to bother. I've learned that arguing with people who think they know my mind better than I do is rather pointless.

I don't disagree, but you have seemed to have missed my point. I'm not suggesting that the sex scenes could have been completely removed from the movie without hurting the story telling. I'm just suggesting they were unecessarily explicit for the purposes of the plot. This suggests to me that satisfying the voyeuristic desires of a certain proportion of the ticket purchasing public was at least a consideration.
