Make sure to watch the special

Story: The first 20 episodes were really good. It had a good progression with the romance and had a unique, light hearted story. However, after ep 20 the plot veered off and it became an angsty mess with a horrible ending. It wasn't even good angst- it was annoying and it dragged. Luckily a special was released with a happy ending. But even then it seemed a bit rushed and I wasn't completely satisfied.

Spoilers: In the synopsis is says "After learning about the suspicious events surrounding the death of Xue Yao's older brother, the two join hands to investigate the case." Unfortunately, this doesn't really happen and there are a lot of misunderstandings between the couple.

Acting/Cast: I wasn't familiar with any of the actors but I thought they did well in their roles. In particular the FL(Hu Yi Xuan) was great-she isn't the most beautiful actress but when she smiles she makes the whole screen light up. The ML(Zheng Ye Cheng) is honestly a pretty good actor and I'm going to keep an eye open for his other shows.

Music: Love the OST

Re watch: With all the criticisms I have I will say that the romance in this show is well developed and the leads have great chemistry. Luckily the drama is fully available so you can skip all the annoying angst.
