Hopeless romantics, this one’s yours!

This is the kind of series you watch with your brain switched off. Unrealistically good, yet absolutely perfect for hopeless romantics like me. It’s the type of drama that doesn’t need heavy thinking, just pure enjoyment, and it delivers that butterfly-in-your-stomach factor in spades.

At first, I wasn’t too fond of the female lead. Her character felt off, and I found myself slightly turned away. But her character does improve! Also, as the story progressed, she grew on me. BUT, Karlina Zhang’s portrayal is what really won me over. She strikes the right balance between playful cuteness and a strong, won’t‑back‑down attitude. That mix makes her character compelling, and I ended up loving her performance. On top of that, her outfits are a delight!! Really, really love them! You can tell they were carefully designed to fit her personality.

The OST is another highlight. They're both good and memorable!

I also appreciated the secondary couples. The writers clearly tried to showcase different relationship dynamics, which gave the drama a bit more depth. I especially liked how they wrapped up the best friend’s love story.: bittersweet but fitting, and it added another layer to the narrative.

And before I wrap this up, I need to gush about Miles Wei. His deep voice is just… WOW. I don’t know if it was dubbed or slightly modified, but it’s mesmerizing :')

Overall, this drama is far from perfect (again), but it’s the kind of series that makes you smile, swoon, and stay hooked. Unrealistic? Definitely. But for hopeless romantics, it’s a treat worth watching.
