Cute couple but a draggy plot

I have to say the acting chops did not disappoint.! The FL was very good at what her role called for- cute, childish, innocent and immature. It is special talent when an actor plays with the viewers emotions using only a few words and the ML totally nailed this one! In fact his character development is my most favourite part, Lin Yu Shen captivated me throughout the entire series and will now look up his other projects.

I was disappointed with the story itself, there was nothing new and quite frankly I find it draggy especially in the later episodes. The plot for the love triangle was out of the blue, didn’t really do anything for the story except make me feel so sorry for the second lead, he was such a nice guy! This is a typical rich guy, mean mom, poor female cliche so if you hate this trope then you won’t like this one either. What I did like was how the main leads developed their feelings towards each other. I thought that dating in their house was unique and these two sure made it swoon-worthy,

I was really hoping to like this drama given the high ratings and the rave about the chemistry between the leads. I sort of do but not one that I would watch it again. Great OST though and fantastic cinematography especially of the food.
