Good enough drama to pass time

I was ready to drop this episode in the first 12 minutes, picked it up after a couple of days since I was looking for something as a filler. I went into it not really expecting much but I did enjoy it. The main couple had a lot of cute moments. I liked Gu Yan Lou, he is probably the boyfriend that a lot of girls would like to have - good looking, smart and very supportive. Lou Zheng has the kind of face that looks like it’s always ready for a smile and can smile effortlessly. Looking forward to more dramas from him and hopefully as lead again.

As Ye Wei Mian was part of the relationship, she was tolerable. I did find her acting a bit childish and too cutesy, especially as the 1/2 of the relationship.

Going back to the main couple’s relationship. Aside from having cute moments, they communicated and did not have that miscommunication that got dragged on for several episodes - well until almost at the very end, which somewhat ruined it for me - I skipped that full episode. It would have been better if the writers followed the flow of them fighting it together hand in hand. I did like that they did not get back together right away when YWM had her “awakening”. It would have been so unfair to GYL. The ending is as what you would expect it to be but there was something missing for me. I still felt that GYL was “tricked” to go and just suddenly they were ok? But as I said this was not a drama that I went into for realism - it is a drama after all :-). The enjoyable moments outnumbered the irritating so all is good.

Love triangle was almost non-existent. The persistent girl gets ignored every time - very refreshing. The guy wasn’t annoying at all and actually developed some kind of friendship with GYL.
