Nice romance. Bad writing.

WHAT I LIKED:
- The leads : good chemistry. The actors are cute and they were good at conveying emotions. The girl was overacting a little from time to time.
- The romance: many cute and romantic moments and kisses. They love each other with no real rivals and the schemes of the second lead are annoying but couldn't make them doubt their feelings.
- The secondary couple : Yao Yao and Hao Ying Jun. The man was clumsy but funny overall. The girl was a bit annoying but a beautiful MILF. Their love story was intriguing. Sometimes I liked them more than the lead couple. I just had it difficult to accept the origin of the boy which was not plausible for me but I guess it happens in chinese dramas.
- The SML : The actor did a good job as the character was a real hypocritical weasel.
- The plotline: It's a romance but it also has a darker story to tell. I appreciated that story.

WHAT I DID NOT LIKE:
- Although the dark backstory was interesting, I though it was messy and poorly executed towards the end. The part with the leads as children is well done but the way the mystery is solved was convoluted and had several plot holes and Deus ex machina elements. In eps 22/23/24 the writers were clearly and uselessly leading the audience and this was annoying to the point I fast forwarded a little bit.

OVERALL:
I was not always hooked and struggled to watch to the end but overall, it is a cute romance to watch with happy ending but spoiled by bad writing in the last part of the drama.
