A lovely but at times frustrating love story. Give it a try!

As always, Taiwanese Bls don't disappoint. This was a good show in my opinion, I love the friends to lovers trope, even though I feel like this show didn't properly develop the main relationship. The beginning was amazing, but in the end it started to get a little boring. I eventually enjoyed the last episode and how they ended things, but to get to that point, the show took a turn that I hated. If you watch a lot of dramas you know that near the end there is always the big fight between the lovers before they reunite in the end, and I was really scared how they would do it here since it was going amazingly well between the main two. When it eventually came in episode 10 I was so mad at how they handled it that I basically skipped it entirely. Fu Li Gong broke up with Ze Shou for such a stupid reason, that just a simple, honest conversation between them could have easily solved the problem. I know it was necessary for the plot, but personally it could have been done better. Also, I felt that they went from being friends, to an actual couple, too quickly, and there should have been more time in between to make them reflect on their sexuality and relationship in general, especially for Ze Shou. Regarding the other couple, I don't really have much to say, I liked their dynamic more, but it felt less interesting. Nonetheless, I started this review in a positive way, because I still really enjoyed the show. I like the actors' chemistry, the overall story, the side characters, and I love how much kissing there is. It's very rare to see this many love scenes, so I really liked this aspect, it makes everything more realistic to me. To sum up, this is a very cute love story but with definitely some flaws, I wouldn't watch it again, but I'll look back at it in a good way.
