I 100% recommend this drama to the fans of Puff and Jasper.
And those who are not are a fan of them or haven't watched them earlier, this is a great show.

Okay! This is probably one of my favorites Taiwanese shows.
Jasper and Puff's chemistry is excellent! Acting, music, and emotions are on point.

This story is about people who've been in a relationship for so long that they forget the reasons why they got together in the first place. It tells how people usually forget that it is essential to take care of oneself. Continuously trying to fulfill your partner's wishes, while ignoring your own happiness, will not make it a happy relationship no matter how hard one tries.
How relationships are affected by things like society, money, status, and comfort zones, this story portrays it beautifully.
The main lead's characters are well defined. The pace of the story is great. However, towards the end, the plot gets a bit draggy. The ending is good, though. (My RomCom lover heart want more cute scenes of Japer and Puff)

The second leads are very set in their beliefs and live like an ostrich with their head buried in the sand. The male second lead is still toleratable, but the female is a walking disaster. Her character made me feel suffocated and helpless. She is clingy & manipulating. Her role was well written for the antagonist.
As mentioned earlier, the acting is great. And I cannot get enough of Japer and Puff's scenes. The side characters are funny and have the right amount of scenes.

Now what I didn't like. The excessive use of the antagonist's drama, it gets a bit boring. And turning a good enough guy into a temperamental psycho for the sake of confirmation to the plot is not very original. Maybe they were running out of ideas to wrap the story? But, thankfully, it didn't last long and was tolerable. The last episode was more about wrapping the story than any major development.
This story is not about adultery. It is about love and relations and how complex they can be, how much courage is needed to come out of the comforts of familiarity and pain. It shows real-world relations and complications.
I am satisfied with this show. I will definitely watch again!!!
