Super Cute and Great Casting!
Who doesn’t love Shen Yue, most famous for, Meteor Garden and A Love so Beautiful. She’s just tiny, bubbly and her acting is really good. I’m a fan of Chen Zhe Yuan from Handsome Siblings and so it was nice to see him in a rom-com role. The chemistry between the two great actors was there and I enjoyed the banter between them the most.
I truly believe this drama could have had higher ratings or 10 stars, had it not been for the secondary couple. Oh my goodness, the secondary couple Lu Zi Chen (the boss) and Ye Qing (the President) was so boring. I thought they were really pretty and I truly tried to get into their storyline, but for the life of me, I couldn’t hold on to them. I had to fast forward all of their parts.
Even though the secondary couple wasn’t a great storyline, I just focused most of my attention on the main leads. I liked the fact the ML was from the past and he didn’t need to have a silly scene where he tried to figure out the modern world. I really liked they bypassed that and just had him read a bunch of books.
I do hope Shen Yue will pick a melo-drama or a role where she doesn’t play the frumpy girl anymore. Gah, the wardrobe on her was just horrible and even her glow-up was disappointing. Then you have the complete opposite where the ML has an amazing wardrobe and he always looked like he stepped off the runway. Love the cape coat in the last scene! I also appreciate that they NEVER wore clothing twice (maybe once or twice). It truly makes a difference.
The tone of the show was always light-hearted and even during the serious parts, it wasn’t over-the-top, just the right amount to give the story some heart and warmth. I laughed a lot and what I enjoyed most was the low angst and the kindness between the main leads. Even though there was some light banter, at the end of the day, they were very kind to each other. That’s what I want to watch.
Overall, I thought this drama was the rom-com I needed to put a smile on my face and give me that happy vibes I always like when I watch my C dramas. LOVE the casting on the leads. I 100% recommend.
