I can't say I'd rewatch this drama purely because watching it once already felt like watching it a thousand times. It's cute, it's simple, girl moves in with a guy on accident and falls for him, yeah, but the plot is way too repetitive.
Every time we're about to get Uehara being nice to Nao, he backs out like a coward and keeps up his cold front. The only time he gets protective is when there's another dude around, how healthy!

Nao's only strength seems to be cooking, anything else she tries, she's pretty bad at which upsets me. I wish there was more to her character but there's like 3 personality traits per person in this show. Hers? Airhead, chef, and totally googly-eyed over her roomie.

If you are thinking of watching this, I'm going to assume you either A: Enjoy roommates/enemies to lovers or B: Need something to put on in the background while you cook food. Or both, I don't judge.

This was the first Chinese drama I've ever watched and I'm really scared that the rest won't be able to compare to this one.

The plot was a little messy and Xinya is a pain in my ass but overall, this drama was way too cute. I don't really like the whole guy-saves-girl cliche and I'm so glad this show didn't really follow that. Qingqing, regardless of however she may seem in the trailer, is a powerhouse woman. She's multitalented, a total dork, kind, funny, and is super pretty glasses or not. Si Tufeng's cold behavior is a front, the kid's a goofball and your average teenagers, Qingqing brings that out in him and it makes for some fun times. Their dynamic makes me want to fall in love. Ha!

The music is also really beautiful, I haven't stopped listening to the main OST 'To Be Your Love' since I finished watching the show. Something about it is so sentimental and emotional, it makes me want to cry tears of joy.

In addition to Qingqing and Tufeng, the side couples are A+, especially Fangfang and Yiyang. I wouldn't be angry if they decided to have their own spin-off, something about the nice girl nurturing the bad boys makes my heart warm.

I am genuinely terrified that I won't find a drama like this or one to top it in the near future... I now have to wait until 2020 for season 2. If you like romcoms, stubborn female leads, the softest couples ever, and pretty music, pick this drama up. You won't regret it, I swear.
