This is an overall review that includes season 2 as well, because season 2 is a continuation of season 1 and it completes the whole drama. I was skeptical towards this drama in the beginning as it was an adaptation of one of my favourite webtoons Untouchable, and I thought that the drama would not be able to portray the webtoon well and live up to its standards.

However, I gave it a shot anyways - and I do not regret it. The webtoon itself is amazing, and I must say this drama is one of the best adaptations I’ve ever seen so far.

Story:
The script closely follows the story of the webtoon, and many scenes from there can be seen in the drama as well. Only towards the end (season 2), the drama deviated slightly from the webtoon, but majority of the plot still follows it. I personally loved this story, it was light and romantic, but there were scenes that carried a more serious atmosphere as well. (I did cry at some parts lol). The story was paced out really well too, I didn’t feel like it was too fast or too slow. However, one thing I didn’t like was the addiction of couples along the way as the story progresses. We have the main couple, and there were two more couples added in the story, one of them only towards the end. I was fine with 2 couples, but when the 3rd female character was added to complement another male character, I found it a bit too much. (although the couples were all pretty cute)

Acting/cast:
Personally, I love Zhang Yu Xi and Dai Jing Yao. The acting of the two leads Yu Xi and Xing Zhao Lin were amazing as well, they portrayed the emotions of the characters really well and complemented each other and their roles. Literally the whole cast was good looking, and the acting was pretty great.

Music:
I’m not one that’s too concerned about the music but the osts for this drama are pretty good.

Rewatch Value:
I hardly rewatch dramas, but for those that enjoy rewatching and are bored or out of shows to watch, this drama seems nice to watch again.

Overall:
The acting and plot was good, the production was great, and the cast were all extremely good looking. What more can I say? This cute romance really is worth watching.
