Good start and a good end. The middle was just okay.

I think I would have liked this drama more if I had binged it in one go.

I loved the ML and FL, they had a cute romance as well as their own storylines. Their romance was not at all toxic in ANY way as a lot of Cdrama and Kdrama (especially Thai dramas) romances tend to be. It was nice seeing an FL who is realistically strong. The FL lives by herself, doesn't really have a good job but is pursuing her dream job. She doesn't NEED a man to help her. Anxin is one of the most feminist, but realistic FL characters I've seen in a Cdrama. An observation: usually, in a drama it would have really focused shots of a man doing handiwork, sweating and everything, but here, those shots were used for the FL, it was new to me for a Cdrama.

I also loved the ML, there was no toxic masculinity in this drama, other then that, he's like every other ML.

A huge focus of this drama was the families of the FL and ML. I LOVED the ML's family, couldn't hate any of them. His dad and older brother were definitely my favourites.
The FL's family was screwed up. Didn't really like any of her family members other than her brother. It was very obvious when it turned out that her brother was adopted and that she was close to him, that there will be something else going on, I don't need to explain, it's a Cdrama.

I don't actually remember what happened towards the middle-end of this drama. I skipped through most of it as the plot dragged, but it got better at around episode 20.

I liked the twists at the end and I preferred all the storylines focusing on the ML's family then I did the FL's family. The one thing I hated about this drama was that the FL never got an apology of any sort from her family. I NEEDED a father/daughter scene, a redemption of sorts.
