In terms of music , it was alright. Pretty average kdrama osts in my opinion.
What stood out to be me the most are the characters. I loved Veronica Park. She was so much fun to watch. She was a character that you dont normally dont expect. She was the true star of the show. She left a big impact on me as her catchphrase was everywhere hahah.

I love the cast! Each character in the team had strengths and weaknesses and we see them overcome their hardships in their own way. I could not ask for a better cast. The actors portrayed their roles really well and I genuinely laughed so many times because the chemistry between the cast and the writing was so funny. They really took time to developed many players in the show and it truly made me feel like I was part of the family.
The production of the show was pretty good. The cinematography and how they portrayed tennis during the matches was really fun to watch. There were times( during the tennis match) were it was completely over the top but it just came off as a funny scene as to how bad it was. Outside the tennis scenes, the production was peaceful and it sort of made me miss the hot summer days at school.

A cute and fun romcom cdrama!
there were some nice details specifically about how the orange was represented which i loved. (if u consider what oranges mean to their culture) .the osts is both fun and emotional.
I enjoyed the simple cinematography. some of the scenes had beautiful color palettes and were framed nicely.
I already liked leon from his past works so this was easy for me to watch. both leads did well from what they were given.
I found the story quite heartwarming and mostly enjoyed my time watching it despite its hiccups . although i screened past it, some parts of the story didnt go as smoothly or felt out of place. there were some parts which made me ???. . its still a fun watch though. just dont take it too seriously.

Adventure filled with romance!
"Humans are strange, No matter how terrible the world is, so long as you know there is someone fighting along side you, you would stop being afraid" - Mu Xiao RuThis quote represents the relationship between the leads. As you follow the leads as they complete their tasks throughout the 3 worlds and realities, their relationship grows and goes beyond the single reality. Experiencing different challenges and understanding the stories of each unique character the leads were transported to, built the trust and love to their relationship. They faced through so much but the journey was treasured. This short 12 episode cdrama is filled with adventure and romance. Its underrated and deserves more viewers.

Your House Helper captures the beauty of love and friendship that supports each other, celebrates and cries together. Maybe if we cant clean the clutter by ourselves, we can ask for help and clean our spaces together.
Your House helper is a slice of life drama with a touching story of a group of friends coming together. Friendships are formed and romance is bloomed. It is warm comforting and opens up to issues that naturally occur in life. Death, Forgiveness, Loss, Trauma are some examples. The show covers these issues in an optimistic way and reminds us to stand up again. I smiled, laughed and cried both happy and sad tears. Its a refreshing slow paced drama to cool us down from the busy world.
Personally I love character driven stories so this was perfect for me. I personally think the music was lacking. The track choices were distracting at times as they did not match the scene. Although this could just be based on taste.

So complex! fun to watch
+ The main story will keep you interested and keep you watching until the end for answers+ Complex story , with many layers and explores interesting topics and themes
+ Cast is all very good looking . Great acting among the team
+Great chemistry between the leads. Especially in the later episodes as it was very emotional and romantic.
+OST is nice. The intro song is my favorite. I always watch it after each episode.
+ The animation at the start of each episode is nice. It gives u hints to understand what the writer wants to reveal.
+/- Technically it is shot well. Great outdoor shots and set design is beautiful. Many of the shots are great but the CGI on the other hand looks lackluster and lacks depth. They use CGI very minimally so it isnt too obvious. There are also some issues with some scenes which i felt like it was too crisp. Im not sure if its the lighting or type of lens they use cause im not an expert. But i do think it couldve been excuted better
- Slow start. The drama is told in a non linear timeline. Takes time to get used to
- A little draggy at some parts, pacing could be improved.
- Writing definitely could be better to solidify the story and add more depth to the characters . The bones of the plot is there. But the journey in how the story unraveled could be improved as its not as seamless as I want it to be.

Addicting with stunning cinematography
I finished watching this last night. Its not perfect but it left with a big impression. The cinematography, the lighting, the music and the audio(its recorded live & not dub yay!) is one of the better ones ive seen in cdramas. The instrumentals and osts in the main couples scenes in the later episodes made me fall in love. Some of the shots were executed so wonderfully, it stunned me.The writing is not perfect . There are times when the plot didnt make sense and wasnt explained properly. The story is full of cliches. Its not all bad tho. Some of the lines in a couple scenes struck gold for me. These scene are in the later half of the drama, where the leads romance is being tested. Along with the gorgeous cinematography and music, you cant help but fall in love.
Overall the drama is really enjoyable. I watched this in a span of 4-5 days. I often don't finish dramas this quickly so I was surprised at how addicting it is.

Cliche but somehow entertaining.
Story:The story is a fresh take on the typical "boys over flower" storyline. The twist is literally the female lead character as she is the opposite to the Female Lead in BOF. She secretly hides her identity as a 'beautiful', talented and rich lady and creates a new(and cute) identity to attend the school. I think this factor made the show interesting to watch despite the poor acting, music.
Cast and Acting:
The acting was a mess but Amy Sun (The FL) carried the whole show in my opinion. She was the most natural and even adapted to the different sides of her character. (her disguise + real self)
Music
Kind of awkward.
Despite the low ratings in everything else. Its weirdly enjoyable. If you are looking for a show that is lighthearted, simple and fluffy, I recommend this. But I truly did watch this just for the female lead lol. By far my favourite character in the show along with Hua Mu Nian hahah

leads are great!! The chemistry is wonderful
Li Hong Yi seriously killed this role. He portrayed his character very well and his eyes are gorgeous :(, Expressive and very pretty<3.My favorite character in this show !!. He was cunning, mysterious but also passionate and sweet. I felt that the writing/ story was lacking in some areas (Chun Hua's character in the later eps.) but it was still enjoyable to watch because the chemistry between the leads is amazing.
Personally the pacing of the show is just right. I feel that longer dramas tend to be dragged out for too long making it unbearable to watch. This drama is only 40 episodes long(30 mins each), 20 hours of content. Highly recommend if you're up for romance costume dramas.
Free subs are up on Youtube(legally and in hd) if anyone is interested!
