This is the kind of Chinese Rom-Com that I prefer. Sweet romance was at the maximum and angst at the minimum. The plot was simple, but it held together and didn't drag.

There were no control freak parents - ML's mom (the only parent in this drama) was so, so nice and worked to further the romance of ML/FL rather than hinder it. She liked FL instantly.

FL had a love rival, but Gu Wei was nothing serious - although she took over ML's office like she owned it (at least briefly) & caused FL to have a sleepwalking spell, she was quickly dispatched by ML and really served no serious threat (or major annoyance to the viewer - in other words, she didn't make you want to throw a brick at the TV). Really her only purpose was to clear up the misunderstanding between the second couple.

ML's love rival was more serious (his brother, Shi Yi) but not really. I had a case of the SML syndrome - if it were me, I would have chosen Shi Yi since he sings, plays the piano and is of a quiet and sensitive disposition. I gave him thumbs up for playing the role of scheming love rival - at least half-heartedly. It's so rare that the SML is the schemer. I don't know about you, but to me, Shi Yi seemed more like the younger brother than the older one. I really felt sympathy for him not getting the girl, especially since he liked her before ML (via her prior voice work). I don't understand how you can be someone's soulmate and yet not be in love with them, but I also don't understand how you can be in love with someone yet leave them to 'chase your dreams'. I guess I'm just from the old school. I was glad that there was no dream chasing separation in this drama like in so many C-dramas.

ML - he was wonderful. Not overly cold and unemotional like a lot of C-drama MLs. I didn't like him as much as ML on 'Arsenal Military Academy' or ML on 'Moonlight', but he was likeable and of course, quite handsome and debonair. Frankly, I would have thrown FL out of my house once the goose showed up - and I wouldn't have had second thoughts and let her back in. There's no way I'd let a goose live in my house. Geese are for barnyards, not high rise apartments. ML briefly played the role of noble idiot, but it didn't last long so it wasn't too distressing for the viewer.

FL - originally, I liked her, but as the drama went on, her bubbly cuteness began to wear on me. I did like that she dressed sensibly in longer skirts and flat shoes - although those sock-like tights she constantly wore were kind of ugly. She wore a lot of fuzzy, fluffy sweaters, which I'm assuming they used to try to make her seem goose-like. I did find it odd that whenever she was scared, she went into a trance yet during the kidnapping incident with Shi Yi's crazy manager (which to me would have been the most frightening), she stayed alert and conscious.

I was glad to see that the scriptwriter/director kept the second couple's romance to the minimum. In other words, their romance was there, but it didn't overshadow the MC like second/third couples romances do in a lot of C-dramas. Because they were limited, I felt the drama/plot moved along nicely, and I wasn't bored or fast forwarding through a romance I'm not interested in. Kudos to the scriptwriter/director for treating the second couple more like a K-drama - there's a romance but it didn't distract from the MC.

Overall, I really enjoyed this drama and hope this format will continue in future C-dramas. It was limited to 24 episodes, it limited secondary romances & it focused more on romance than angst (no control freak parents or evil female love rivals).
