Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed the storyline and the characters. Esther Yu and Vin Zhang did a fantastic job at making this drama beautiful and an amazing watch. However, I found myself skipping through the last 4 episodes and even before that, I wasn't paying as much attention as I did in the beginning of the drama. As I was halfway through the drama I realised that the second couple was getting more screentime than the main couple, they got so much screentime they might as well have their own romance drama at this point! The main leads didn't even kiss until the second last episode which was BIZARRE to me considering it's "a romance of the little forest". I felt they dragged on the miscommunication between them as well as the second couple, so many episodes were wasted with the female leads hating their partners. They took the idea of a 'slow burn' way too seriously! Moving on to Yu Meiren (played by Esther Yu), she was insufferable at some points! I love the actress and her drama's but she was supposed to be smart and capable in this drama which they did show some parts of but overall her character was childish and annoying. There was WAY too much lying in this drama, Yu Meiren lied about almost everything! As I said before, they dragged out Zhang Yu finding out about her doctorate and actual lifestyle. I wish they got together in episodes 20/35 and then added drama near the end so we would've at least had a lot of time seeing them as a couple. In the time the main couple could've gotten together, the second couple dated, broke up, THEN DATED AGAIN! If you love a drama with not much romance but aesthetics and growing, this is the one for you. Apart from all this, the little kiss scenes between the main couple were 10/10! Vin Zhang doesn't disappoint. It was the same for the second couple. I will definetely not be watching this drama again in the near future but I hope Esther Yu and Vin Zhang are paired together again as their chemistry was ON FIRE.
