Cute drama with clichés and without much drama
I'm usually all for drama, break ups and stuff like that in relationships, but surprisingly I enjoyed this a lot. Even though there's a lot of clichés it doesn't bother me so much. I'm glad to see that the female lead is not dependent on the male lead even after they started dating. She shows a lot of strong sides and does not give up on the stuff she believes in. Though, if I had to criticize something about her: the last few episodes did not really make any sense for me. I didn't really see the reason for her to go volunteer to help with the earthquake just so that she could go see the ML. I do think that her leaving her job behind is against everything she has shown so far, but other than that Fair Xing did a great job at portraying Cong Rong.
As for the ML i don't really have much to say. He starts out as your typical cold ML who does not care for the FL at all. I do think that he "fell in love" with her way too quickly. I feel like you didn't get to see any build up in their relationship and we didn't see a growth in his character since he was pretty much the same from the moment he found out who the FL really was.
I do wanna compliment the leads. They had great chemistry and i quickly forgot that I wasn't watching Fu Pei and Si To Mo acting together. As someone who very much enjoyed PYHOMY this was the biggest fear I had going into this drama. They looked cute together and I enjoyed watching it. I do wanna point out one thing about their relationship. The reason why I only wanna give the story a 8 is because I don't really see many interesting moments about them after they started dating. I started out this review by stating that i love drama in relationships and this story did not have any for the lead couple. There is a small misunderstanding between them, but they don't break up or anything. In my head it just got pretty boring watching them being sweet with each other in every single episode, but if you're looking for a drama without any break up, then this is definitely the drama for you.
The kissing scenes are great too. Theres many of them and they didn't look awkward. Even the second leads had more kissing scenes than some leads in other dramas have had.
What I liked the most about this drama is definitely the second leads. They are the definition of what I would like to see in a drama. There's denial, angst, emotion and fluffy moments between them. Both of them showed a growth in characters and had much more of a development than the main leads had. They made this drama enjoyable and gave me a break from the main leads, so if I were to watch this drama again it would surely be because of them. I seen that the SFL can come off as annoying at times, but I didn't see any of this to be honest. Yes, she does seem a bit childish but I think she pulled it off and even though she matured a bit, she still didn't change her personality even when she started dating the SML. She stayed true to her childish side till the end which made her really cute and she is definitely one of my favorite characters one the show. The SML's growth is probably my favorite. Being someone who has been left heartbroken before, it's interesting to see how the SFL slowly makes him open up to new romances and the actor relly did a great job pulling off his role.
This got pretty long so please bare with me lol. Overall this is a very cute drama without much drama, so if you're looking for something cute, then I definitely would recommend you this.
