This is a sweet but boring drama. Never having quite understood the hype, I decide to watch this once and for all. I would say this was a mixed bag for me as there were moments I liked and many that annoyed me. However it delivers what it promises - a fresh cast, romance and pure fluff.

PLOT:
I feel like the plot itself was just the cohabitation and how two people meet and fall in love. The Male Lead is a typical icy yet sweet guy who appears cold on the surface but is a puppy when in love. The Female Lead is bubbly, outgoing and lacking in common sense. Both seem opposites but the ML falls for her way earlier on than she does and does a lot of sweet things for her. Rest of the drama was about how they get close. Plus, thankfully there weren't any villains or clingy second leads. The heroine's male friend was annoying but he gets over her and tries to moves on with another girl but sadly never grows as a character. What is sad was how the overall premise was alright / passable, but the execution didn't quite hit the mark when it came to keeping me engaged. The secondary characters are all uninteresting and the romance between the leads is awkward as heck once they get to the dating stage. The parents were intolerable and new characters are introduced later on for no reason.

ROMANCE:
Meh. It was sweet till the leads actually confessed to each other. After that they spend all their time together to the point where it seems like they have no interests outside each other. Their relationship lacked maturity in communication and they are always dying to be together and their skinship wasn't fun either. There are no real conflicts they face and neither do they seem to be in a healthy relationship. It was boring because there was all fluff and no real talk between the two.

ACTING:
I didn't like Fair Xing but it seemed like she has potential. Her hairstyle and clothes were horrible and playing a ditzy college girl wasn't the best role for her. The main actor is cute and seems to have potential as this is his debut drama. None of the other actors made an impression on me apart from the ones whom I have seen in other works.

REWATCH VALUE:
No, thanks. I won't take this on again. It would be very challenging as skipping scenes is what got me to the end.

OVERALL:
If you like two people being in love, who are childish and are a pair that never get anywhere but are just CUTE - then this is the drama for you. I wish the characters of the main leads were written well because that is literally who the plot revolves around. In no way did I envy their relationship as I do with romance dramas because it never gave me healthy or fun vibes. Everything was cute in a boring way.

Time to move on to the next drama.
