Nicely balanced romcom, engaging story and characters

This has been a fun and refreshing ride. I'd like to congratulate the efforts of the actors and actresses for their respective roles.
I started this without knowing much of how the story and characters will be. I got hooked when it felt similar to The Beauty Inside and eventually with the added investigation, special conditions of other characters, the pairing (well suited couples), the mystery behind the mastermind of the whole zornia case and the comedy which balances everything in the story
I like that it's not all romance and comedy, but has some lessons in life to keep in mind.
I like the two sets of trios here and their relationships but I'm sad they killed Gen Nan and Yao.
This is a first for me to wait eagerly not only to the main couple's happy ending but also to the second and third couples' happy endings.
It didn't really go for the wicked mother-in-law plot, the mother-in-law daughter-in-law conflict, or the evil plot by main lead's family to ruin the relationship of the main leads.
We also got an amusing main lead family.
Xin Bai's mom is one of my favorites. She stole the limelight of some episodes when she showed her being a worried and caring mom and not only someone with a high status trying to protect her children's futures. My favorites are her reactions, her acting was on point, whether the serious conversations, semi-serious situations or the hilarious scenes are unforgettable
I like the Jiang family, SL's dad, and the grandpa; they're funny and entertaining (the umbrella scene and when XB's mom thought his son was gay and the rest had no idea what's happening ?)
The suspense on the real villain kept me going and I enjoyed the engagements here on discovering who he is, even doubting and questioning of some of the characters.
I have to say that Ruo Qian is a very interesting supporting character, well played GZC
I have my complaints about some parts of the story, character change and some character endings and have a lot more to say about this but it's more fun to discover them going through the story. It's a happy ending and you will find fascinating characters and even couples you didn't expect to cheer and look forward to
