I almost dropped it but I stayed for Godfrey Gao...

What I liked:
- Main leads, especially Godfrey Gao, his character is just a perfect all around man n he was just such a handsome manly man... his chems with FL is also good, they r believable as an intelligent loving scholar couple...
- I like how here they show various kinda problems in each household... these r different kinda people with different kinda backgrounds which centered around the 3 women who r supposedly best friends... it’s just interesting to watch some of the small stories...
- It’s nice to watch a story where the ML & FL r just normal hardworking kinda people n the ML isn’t a super handsome rich CEO, it’s realistic...

What I didn’t like:
- Too many eps! There r 40eps n that’s just too long, IMO 30eps is a max for this kinda story, even less would’ve been better, it got draggy n boring... honestly I skipped a lot around 25-ish till around 37th eps when finally FL moved to ML’s hometown...
- FL’s mom is annoying to the max! I have no idea how a mother could behave like that? She is such a snob n looking down on ML when she isn’t actually someone who is rich or even from a highly respectable family... she is from a working class background, but she hates her daughter’s BF just becoz she wants her to be with her friend who is super rich... the way she condescends ML is just too much, especially for someone in her status... n in the end, there is no redeeming act from her...

Overall it was an ok watch, just watch it if u got nothing else to watch... the mainleads scenes n interactions r cute, so they made this watchable... n I stucked around for Godfrey Gao, but unfortunately I think this was one of his last projects if it wasn’t the last one... n IMO he suited his character in here, so he did a good job... RIP Godfrey Gao...
