For those who seek comfort! ୨ৎ
I watched this because my friend recommended it to me. It had been a long time since the last time I watched a series, let alone a chinese one, but since she said it was her comfort drama, I gave it a shot. I ended up enjoying it a lot even though I had no expectations whatosever.
I loved the cast. At first, I thought Zai would be your typical soft-hearted, weak, and pick me lead, and Lurang was a typical cold, arrogant male lead. But, despite Zai's soft character, I absolutely loved how she's assertive and she knows how to stand up for herself. She had her fair shares of embarrassing moments but not up to the point where you'll cringe hard. Lurang also turned out to be just a shy guy who doesn't know how to express himself, given that he came from a non-affectionate family. I love how their relationship started as well as the way it progressed. I love how there were no unecessary love triangle and how their arguments and misunderstandings were easily solved. It was realistic.
The supporting characters also did a great job! I love how they weren't one-dimensional characters who were just there for the plot. They were also given their own story worth watching and listeningto. The second couple was also lovable, in fact, I actually liked their trope more. They also had a strong chemistry. The relationship between the characters were well presented and I couldn't help but wish I had a friend group as strong as theirs.
Their story may not be that remarkable but personally, each episode made me crave for more. The only downhill for me here was the seemingly rushed ending because I still had questions — I wish we got to see a glimpse of the closure between Rang and his annoying mother, how they told their parents about their engagement, and their child! I wanted to see their child! I loved how we got to see their story that began in highschool until their work / married lives. This was a good balance between realistic and too-good-to-be-true of events.
Overall, this drama felt like a escape from reality, a breath of fresh air, and a reminder that there is a hope for tomorrow. I will forever love Rang's dialogue in the last episode!
Also, there's a rumor that the main leads would have an upcoming series again, I hope it's true! ^___^
