Little sugar heart vs little overlord
I'm here to say to everyone that, please, don't drop it till after episode 5. I feel a lot of people probably drop this because in the first episodes the FL act a little stalkerish ending up with a bizarre confession on episode 4 that doesn't make any sense.But after that things get really great and is a fantastic rom com: The ML understand what he lost and try to woo the FL back and she doesn't accept him right away. She needs to feel he actually love her and like her even after rejecting her in the past. Both act like mature and succesful individuals and, when they start dating, they are such a natural couple. Normally those montage they do when they are already dating going on a date looks cringe but here i loved to watch them.
The second couple was cute too and unexpected. tbh it looks like the first 4 episodes are one drama and from 5 to 24 another, better one lol.
We also have beautiful scenes that makes me cry, specially the one where Tang Xin's father told her that, even being illiterate, he read her book many times, taking notes to ask her when he got lost. We could also see he really can't read when, at the end, Tang Yu give him a prenup to read and he pass him to her daughter. Her father is just adorable tbh.
So please, if you like rom-com, don't miss on this one. It is 100% worth it.

Great Chemistry and an adorable kitten, however...
The chemistry between the leads was great. I wouldn't be against them in another series together. Just hope it is better written.I was not a big fan of the plot or writing in quite a bit of the show. I honestly would not have gotten through episodes 4-14 if not for the lead's chemistry. Those episodes where ML was chasing her and she was treating him like he'd kicked her kitten in front of her were not exactly easy to get through.
Don't get me wrong, I understand her hurt from being rejected. It stings. But for her to act like it was all on him and he was fully in the wrong for rejecting her... it got annoying quick. She confessed to him and he asked her how long she liked him and why. Her answers were recently and because he was rich and handsome... did she really think he'd be like yeah, me too? Instead of telling the truth, which were great answers, she lied. Seriously, no one wants to hear those as answers for why someone likes them.
Also, the forced kiss.. if ML did that to FL, everyone would've thrown a fit.
That said, here are some pros.
- adorable kitten
- real kisses
- a cute 2nd couple (ep 10 and on tho)
- no triangles or break ups
- both leads had supportive parents
If you can overlook my little rant, I'd recommend at least checking out the first 5 episodes to decide if this is for you or not.

Suckers for ‘Men fell harder’ trope
I actually just stumbled upon this on WeTV when I’m out of dramas to watch. Since I’m quite fond of Miles Wei and the synopsis is interesting, I gave it a try.To my surprise, I actually love overall of the story. I like the push and pull that the FL gives, I like how consistent she tried not to accept the ML love after his rejection - even she actually still love him. I like how she play hard to get, and didn’t gave in easily. Also, I LIKE that she’s SMART AND HARDWORKING.
Side characters are all nice, no draggy dramas and conflicts.
Overall, it’s a great story with pretty good actors and actress. You should give it a try since it’s just 24 episodes!
Oh yes, I just wish they did some change with their wardrobe, ML’s suits always repeated even he is supposed to be rich CEO and the FL is almost always in a bun (wish they tried some other hairstyles too, she looks pretty with hair down too).

Tierno
Es un drama muy lindo y tierno, no hay toxicidad ni tanto drama, siento que es digerible para cualquier tipo de persona.De esos dramas que cuando no sabes que ver te van a ayudar, la música es muy linda y los actores son excelentes. Los personajes secundarios también muestran una historia muy buena y me alegra que para todos haya un final feliz.
No es un drama tan largo, así que eso también ayuda a qué no haya cosas sueltas y que te pierdas demasiado, es consigo y su guión tiene pocos fallos, el problema que encuentro es en sus vestuarios ya que son bastante básicos y repetitivos.
En lo personal siento que me faltó algo, aún no se que pero lo recomiendo muchísimo.

Cute yet Cliché
Ceo and Assistant become close. Someone falls hard only for there to be this push-pull of emotions till they become an item late in the series. The ML and FL were cute yet chemistry seemed forced at times and super-safe in other times. No real petty issues which was refreshing. The misunderstanding and knight in shining armor moments seemed a bit cliché. The SML and SFL were very cute and relatable with how their relationship started, blossomed and progressed. The end was a bit dialog heavy in trying to tie up loose ends and fill in expressed completion of all connections. Yet the cast was solid, the storyline was good but cheeky. Nevertheless, this is a good watch.Was this review helpful to you?

Miles Wei never disappoints me
I think this is a pretty good light and enjoyable romcomwhat I liked :
- I think the leads have such good chemistry, we could feel it from the beginning. I liked their little moments and they had some good scenes even before finally dating
- I think the clothes looked good and it was interesting to see them wearing more than once the same clothes, don’t know if it was a budget problem ahah but it looked real to me (like you don’t always wear different clothes in life)
- I absolutely loved the music
- I think the acting was good
- the leads looks good together
- very good skinship, kiss and intimate scenes between the leads
- the sister was a bit annoying me at first but she grow on me and matured. Her couple with the director was cute
- no breakup, but they got together pretty late ahaha
- the cat❤️ it was cute and it was funny creating moments and opportunities for ML to get close to her because of it. They were like parents and ML who said he didn’t like the cat at the beginning and didn’t want to keep it. He ended up loving it and him when they picked it up after the filming ended. asking all these questions, being mad and concerned ahah man loves his cat
- no toxic parents. Both leads have good and kind parents. They also got along well rapidly. ML who is from a rich and known family, but his parents don’t care about who he dates, they liked FL and we’re just happy he was in love/dating someone. Also supportive, like with SFL with her acting career
- no love triangle (we saw a bit a another guy, but I wouldn’t call this a love triangle and the purpose to make ML jealous)
- I really liked the ending and the last scene of the drama, I think it was beautiful
- watching their story and romance made me smile a lot
- Made me emotional when he read her old post and found out that she loved him for many years
But :
- I think it was too long before getting officially together, took 18 eps/24(we literally already knew from the first ep they both like each other). I get FL (what he said was hurtful with the rejection even if she’s not totally faultless because of her response to him asking why she loved him I think, in the moment don’t think he believed she actually loved him), ML needed to grovel a bit. But I think it got a bit old FL rejection and playing « hard to get ». At least we still got many moments before they started dating for real
- I’m sorry but SML… his hair was so distracting to me, it looked so bad
I absolutely recommend this drama

A bit dragged out
Parts of this drama were worthy of 8 stars, but some things pulled it a bit down, so I ended up on 7,5*Wei Zhe Ming as the ML is an actor I have liked in other works, but I wouldn't rate this amongst his best roles.
As I am looking back at this now a while after actually watching the drama, the FL didn't leave me with any impression whatsoever.
As for the story:
I liked that there were some independent, strong female characters, and understanding, loveable parents.
They dragged the story out a bit too much.
Her having loved him for years, even if she got hurt by his rejection, I found some of her following actions (or "non-actions") a bit over-the-top.

A very light hearted, and sweet romcom
This drama was literally the definition of she fell first but he fell harder. The story doesn't have much of a plot but it has a great storyline that progresses very well. I really enjoyed seeing the leads' relationship growing with each episode. I also loved the story of the second leads, their story too was really sweet! The acting of the cast was wonderful and very entertaining. The music was great to listen to and it was a really fun watch. Overall, a light-hearted, sweet love story about the she fell first but he fell harder trope. ????????Was this review helpful to you?
Good drama
Story line is that ,she had a crush on her boss but her boss used her to get her friend about that she knew . Still she helped him . But his friend married someone less then she thought she had a chance so she proposed him and he rejected her though he had feelings for her but why he did so ? For this watch the drama .Chemistry between the leads were good . Second leads were also good . You ship love story they liked it but those who see many other things than love story for them it is a boring one

Fluff fluff romcom where the CAT never grew up!
Wow, the most amazing thing is.. the cat never grew up, the leads fell in love, got married, shot a movie.. still the cat never grew up!! Miracle...lolJokes apart..a really wholesome drama, with no holes...i loved Director Lu and dingding pair the most... so freaking cute....
Liked, there was no anaconda or vipers, no secondlead syndrome or love triage.. really respect Hua's expression of "mixed feeling" for his sister... that was done real well and not a messy "i lost the gal i loved, now i turn into vinegar pot "
Beautiful shot on Dingdings first kiss being her first true love!! Cute..real cute!
Beauitful parents... lovely brother-sister relationship, all in all ..i could say, i did not do any skip or 5x moment... which is a big thing.. as i now officially the queen of drops..you could see that from my "currently watching" list. Lol
Acting was to the point, all sequences were done well.
Most rewatched was LuDingding pairing... i really liked their romance!!!

Toxic Fl
I did not like fl character.she liked him for 4 years but when he tells her he does not lime her she behaves like he has done a crime.Her 4 years love goes into drain and she starts behaving like his rival.And her confession was so lame and shallow.she tells him i like you because you are rich and handsome and then that forced kiss.I just dont like Fl and her behaviour so i dropped this series.Was this review helpful to you?
