Heartwarming episodes this segment "District of Happiness", not only because it has Xiao Zhan in them, but they were really emotional. As someone already said below, these two episodes depicted a slice of the day-to-day life and how we all struggled to pass through the first days of the pandemic when it first started. The fear, the unknown, the helpers who gave us a hand to go through it safely, etc. I lost a parent on the first 2 weeks of the pandemic back in March, and watching as the doctor was carried away by the ambulance while the community was cheering for him from their windows has made me tear up really bad. I remember my country singing from the windows while segregated in our homes during the quarantine, it was hard to watch and remember.To all the detractors of this beautiful show, you should stop your negativity and give this a watch before spreading any more nonsense. This really deserves to be watched by everyone. Highly recommended series.
I will continue watching, and of course I will re-watch when english subs will come out.

Great romance K-drama, Highly recommended
I know I'm late to the party but I finally decided to watch this series too. Usually when I watch a hyped drama I'm getting into it with low expectations to not get disappointed, but with this show I stayed away from reviews and comments to not spoil myself and I'm glad I did so. I just finished this, I binged it in 3 days even if my very tight schedule was not allowing me to have too much free time bit I couldn't help myself, and I must say I got hyped quite fast. I highly enjoyed it. This is one of these dramas that I wouldn't mind if it had 10 more episodes to binge on.It started quite cheesy and with some cringe moments, it had a lot of plot holes, but I have to say that I loved all the bits and moments in it. The cringe ones, the great ones, I cried with it, I laughed with it, overall I can say this is one of the best romantic k-dramas I ever watched. Honestly it should have a higher rating than many others overhyped in MDL have.
All in all I warmly recommend it.

I have to give this a review
Is beyond me how can anyone rate this 10 stars. Is people so desperate?To start with the first episode, the girl is suppose to suffer from major PTSD. That's NOT how PTSD effects manifest. Don't come to the usual trope "its a drama", that's not an excuse for a terrible plot.
They treat the FL as some sort of "temporarily brain damaged" person with some selective memory loss, that also sleep walks. Well you can suffer some memory loss after a big stress event, but you won't get retarded.
Second point and the most disturbing one: this is a bullying drama that wants to pass for "cute, fluffy, love". The ML is constantly bullying his sister, stalking her, not allowing her to make her own choices and friends, physically abusing her, asking her constantly to cook for him as she is his personal maid. But hey, he loves her so it's ok?...
Also her adoptive parents are constantly leaving home letting their kids alone and asking the adoptive daughter to cook for the boy, again treating her as a personal maid of the brother even though they know she is doing bad at school and would need tuition instead of dedicating her time in the kitchen.
Then another disturbing point, the brother is in love with his sister... Since when it's ok to think that because they are not related by blood is ok to droll behind your adoptive sister? Sounds like, in every family with an adoptive daughter, the brother should be allowed to chase his own sister, because hey, they are not related by blood... Are you serious?
The message that this drama is passing down to youngsters is terrible. Bullying, incest, harassment, there's nothing cute or fluffy to be seen here. And I didn't got to see the bitchy second FL in action yet. Can only imagine it will only get worse.
Ah, and to conclude, the acting is plain boring and at times just terrible.
