yes, I hate unbalanced romances. I can never see chemistry there, altho many watchers say a show has chemistry just because their opposite sex is the one doing all the effort and they like it.

but this one is very balanced. both have a different role tho. he is shy (to the point of needing psychological help) but a genius. she is strong, a total extrovert, but a disaster. she helps him in the outside "world" and he helps her with her studies and carrier.

It's absolutely not one of those dramas. they are 100% fan of each other since episode 3. they don't call it love until later, but both of them don't want anything else than be with the other one since episode 3. there is 1 episode where FL is worried because all her friends have a clear career path and she doesn't, and she kind of avoids her friends and ML that episode, but beside that short thing, both only want to be all the time together.

it's even exaggerated how FL kind of neglects her friends because of ML

Hello!
I have 0 memories of this show hehe. I see I rated it 81/100 in my list. Which is a decent show, I enjoyed watching it, but not something I would recommend.
The last shows I watched and rated over 90 are:
Love Scout (7/12)
The best Thing (18/28)
Youthful Glory (8/30)

The numbers are the episode they got together (or if its not clear when, an aproximation)

Or I remind you of my list URL: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ZeBWXJWgxN0kDg0rPlR4B6RSM7XIEi4GJ0RyDUimHAw

I havent watched this show, and I still dont believe you. Every asian romance drama is a girls guilty pleasure show.

EDIT: see, another comment answering yours lists a lot of double standards in favor of the girl this show has. I am so tired of it.

Im with you. Others say "dont worry, FL loves ML".... yeah like that fixes it. I dont want an annoying sML constantly annoying me. Some comments even say sML and FL marry because he manipulates her.... WTF. Im not watching it

All those comments about the ex being annoying until the last episode make me not want to watch it

Many negative comments say they like the actors tho...

Just finished rewatching the show. Again, amazing. So lighthearted, so sweet, such a good feeling ending

Oh, the one out of 30 dramas where it's FL who does the romantic effort. Sure, please change it for yet another show where it's again ML acting like a puppy behind FL while she minds her own business.
Im sure you prefered sFL right? Making sML do all the frikin work of getting together and then acting annoyed (sure as a joke) because he is all clingy towards her while she is so independant...

I watched it so long ago I cant remember the details. It is a bit like that, but I dislike that trope a lot and I still gave it a good rating. So... I wouldn't totally discard the show.

Still, you can check my list for better recommendations https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ZeBWXJWgxN0kDg0rPlR4B6RSM7XIEi4GJ0RyDUimHAw/

I was going to google if there was something annoying like a breakup, but you spared me the work. Pass

omg its frikin ongoing. In all my 180 dramas Ive never watched an ongoing show, and I didnt notice this one was. I dont understand how people can watch ongoing dramas.

Just finished it. It was fine, but I expected better. I had to force myself to finish it.

what does she do?

Good, I don't watch dramas to experience real life. Im deciding on a new drama and this comment is a big plus for this one.

Yes, the misscommunication happens to both sides. But the needing to apologize for several episodes only happens to MLs, with very few exceptions.
(Im talking about asian dramas in general, not this one)

I didnt know any of the actors of the show before watching it

Loved ML, loved FL, loved their characters, and this show deserves much higher rating than it has, not lower.

And omg your arguments against her. I say those exact same arguments in many asian dramas. I am so fed up about MLs always needing to apologize for everything while FLs get away with eveything. But I didnt get the feeling of this trope in this show at all. The only time she accused him of something bad, she totally recognized it was her fault, which rarely happens with FLs in these type of shows. And we are talking about something big she believed happened, not some stupid thing other FLs get annoyed about in other shows.
And she was always lovely towards him.

I almost spit my drink when I read this.
I havent seen FL in any other show, but she was amazing here. At the same time, I havent seen a worse asian main actress than esther yu.
This comparation is an aberration.

the only thing I didn't understand is your comment. I'm complaining about too many constant problems, too little time of the leads being together , an annoying love triangle and about MLs personality becoming too gloomy. there's nothing related to the plot in my complaint.

Unless.you like dramatic crap, this one is much better. L&P has great lead chemistry... And that's about it. Everything else is annoying as hell. Well FL is amazing. But ML is toxic and the drama that happens makes no sense.

This show has very good chemistry too, and much less annoying drama
