Looking for fluff? Look no further

I usually stayed away from C-Dramas due to weird and convoluted plotlines, messy characterization, long and stretched episodes count and whatnots. This, however, was the first one, that being such a refreshing watch, it changed my opinion on C-Dramas completely.

Watch this for romance and fluff, this won't disappoint! Romance is really well done here and the main leads have a real good chemistry. Even the secondary main leads have good chemistry.

The story is simple but its done beautifully. There are cliches sometimes but they all get resolved in a very positive manner. There is angst too, many a times, but the end to that angst is very rewarding. This is exactly how a good story is written. I was engaged throughout and it also never left a bad taste in my mouth.

Characterization, on the other hand, was done amazingly. Most characters if not all were likeable in their own way. Very rarely did I find myself getting annoyed by a character's decision and that too for a very short period of time.

FL's character for one was really likeable. In some scenes she was super adorable tbh. Real good performance by Zhao Li Ying.
ML, on the other hand, was a bit too stoic. He needs to learn to communicate more, caused too many misunderstandings needlessly.
SML was okay throughout. His character did develop a bit later on.
SFL, though, was the one with the most character development of all. She actually matured from a childhood infatuation to real love. Quite a major character development right there. Despite many hating her for her selfish decisions, I empathize with her situation and understand why she did what she did. Amazing acting by the actress Li Cheng Yuan.
All the other side characters were likeable too, no complaints nowhere at all.

Overall a super sweet and super fun uplifting show.
This might be my first time rating a C-Drama above 8, but this deserves it without a doubt. 8.5/10
