It had it's sweet moments for me. The big drawbacks for me is the FL pinning after the 2ML for 85% percent of the drama and both FL's running away instead of being honest. Still a decent drama. It's a solid 8 for me. Han Hyo Jee's acting was also exceptional.

The ML is definitely not meek.

Six episodes? It won't take them that long to film. Maybe 2 months max.

First Frost was one of the first dramas that came to mind. And it was actually worse in that one because they were an actual couple when she pulled that stunt. Cherry stated numerous times that she's the Prince and he's the Princess, so no one should feel any type of way that the roles are this way in the drama. But like you said, double standards.

I'm perplexed by the 7.9 rating and people in the comments questioning Jiang Qiao Xi's love for Cherry. Jiang Qiao Xi wasn't in this drama as much as he should have been, but when he was, it was clear as day 90% of his mind revolved around thoughts of Cherry and the last 10% percent was just him struggling to live without her.

People are so used to the man fighting for the FL at all costs that when roles are reversed, it's an issue. Cherry's unwavering loyalty is what I loved the most about her. She wasn't desperate or a fool for fighting for Jiang Qiao Xi.

I liked the cooking more than the actual story.

It was a solid drama with good rewatch value 9/10. I'm a sucker for enemies to lovers and bonus when the female lead has brains and isn't a damsel in distress. And the 2nd couple had my entire heart. I loved that pairing so much, and the representation they gave of having a woman bigger than the standard size loved out loud was nice to watch.

Why is the second part of these dramas never on par with the first part, when it comes to quality and writing? Did the writer change? Because the last ten episodes were ridiculous. It's an 8/10. Mainly because the first part was amazing and I love the Yang Zi and Li Xian. But I could never see myself rewatching this part again.

This drama was beautifully made. The acting, writing, and cinematography was perfect. 10/10 for me. It filled the void of "When Life Gives You Tangerines" for me.

I've been in a drama slump since June, and this was the first drama that I've managed to finish. It was a 10/10 for me. I enjoyed every single episode.

You're welcome. I'm going to update this when I have time.

Someone please free Dai Gao Zheng of short dramas. My god.

I really enjoyed the other 3 (especially Chasing in the Wild) but this one isn't up to par with those. Sam and Clyden's chemistry is good but the overall story just sucks. It really peaked at episode 10 and then just went down from there.

I was waiting for Seok's mother and Minha to meet. It's such a wasted opportunity. Unfortuantly I don't think they'll be a season 3. The focus is on the spinoff, now.

I suppose I'll have to wait until tomorrow, when Viki uploads the first two episodes. No, way am I going to struggle through machine-translated subs.

It's a comment section so I'll continue to yap all I want No one forced you to reply to me. And no they don't always give FL's a good storylines in these kinds of dramas. Tian Xi Wei was dragged just this year as the FL from Guardians of the Dafeng (a male centric drama). All I wondered if the Fl was actually going to have a substantial storyline and not just be there as the ML's love interest and some how this has got you pressed??

Name a Female-centric drama where the ML is "a stupid toy" and doesn't have his own storyline and or agenda? The two most recent popular female centric dramas: The Glory and Flourished Peony, male leads had their own storyline outside of the FL. And from what @AndiFlower96 has stated the FL has her own storyline and isn't used solely as a romantic interest. So, clearly it can be done. I don't understand why you're so pressed by my comment.

Thanks. I'm glad to hear that.

I disagree.

The only thing I hate about male-centric dramas is the FL is always sidelined, especially when she's there just for the romantic plot of the story.
