FWIW, I watched 17 of 18 episodes.

The premise of this is ridiculous as are both leads' characterizations. Of course no one should watch this with the expectation of seriousness. I'm specifically watching this as a break from a politically serious and plot-dense series, Sword Snow Stride.

I'm considering this series finished, even though I didn't pay to see episode 18. Unless something ridiculously bad/annoying happened in the last episode, the first 17 episodes are what I'm reviewing.

They were funny, fluffy, laden with cliches and utterly ridiculous. I wasn't looking for anything monumental or serious, so it fit the bill. However, the series could've been even shorter, honestly, and there was a lot of fast forwarding through slow motion or awkward starting scenes. The music wasn't great to me since I really don't like it when non-English songwriters write songs in English. It'd be like me, who is fluent in Chinese but not well versed enough to write, let's say, poetry in the language, writing Chinese songs. I'd inevitably sound, at best silly, and at worst offensive.

Overall, this series was just fine if you're looking for something to completely veg on out at the end of the day or if you just need a break from a heavy series (or drama IRL). It was "unbelievably" cute.
