Anime artist pursues straight headed professor romance and other side character romance

This drama is definitely romance focused! if you like romance as the main storyline , you will like this one. I was beyond excited to see the trailer, because it had some super cute squealing romantic moments.

This drams's storyline is the female lead is a anime artist/ draws for a living. She is forced to draw anime of young fangirl romance, which she is not her strong area. She has to draw a romance anime but she doesnt have much experience. She is told she needs to find someone that will make her heart beat. Her first encounter is when the male lead's dog called qi bao runs up to her, she decides to bring him back to the owner. He dashes off back to the owner and they meet. Qi bao gets too excited and knocks them down ( he's a golden retriever), in an attempt to get up qi bao knocks them again and they kiss lol. This is the first time she feels her hear beat fast. She though she was having an heart attack ( lol she is naive) Thus beginning a series of trying to pursue the professor. She even becomes his assistant. The male lead is a stone cold, super smart, blunt architect/professor. He doesnt even remember the names of his assistants and they dont go longer for more than a week. The female lead is a quirky, cute, pretty straight forward person. She does all she can to have the professor remember her name. All this time she is pursuing the male lead she is trying to get more material for drawing her anime novel and then eventually actually falls in love with him. Later she even becomes his assistant/ help take care of his house/him.

The male lead and his younger brother are on bad terms, There is a room in the male lead's house that the female lead cannot go to. There is a person who he misses, turns out its the brother. They had a very bad argument and he decided to run away. Coincidentally the younger brother is talented in drawing the anime that young teens/ girls likes. They end up living in the same house. He helps her draw and becomes her assistant.

The main lead's pairing is super cute. Lol i love it when she day dreams. That part of when she was under the desk of the professor , such a sweet moment. They are a cute couple and have good chemistry. I dont mind me a over bearing ceo >_<. But the female lead was kinda annoying in the sense that he didnt trust that the male lead would like her, like she wasnt fit or matched for him. To be she had a low self esteem. I mean he already told you he loves you!! Just believe it.

To me there is not much plot development because its mostly focused on romance... There is also two side line characters who get their respective romances. The male lead's younger brother and the older lady who is famous anime novelist. The other is the cousin of the male lead ( who's like 20 years old and the male lead's friend. I have to say the friend is like 10 + years older than her.

Honestly was not a fan of the older lady and the younger brother. I mean she isnt that old but I didnt like her initially because she stole the rights of the first anime novel that the female lead drew, which in turn made the older lady famous and not giving any credit to the female lead. ( later on turns out there was some confusion/miscommunication) After that cleared up i liked her character more. The brother went from liking the female lead to the older lady kinda a little to fast?

Like another review said, the good parts were done/finished up a little too soon. I felt it kinda draggy towards like ep 18 ? Then it just went in the direction of the side characters romance.... Maybe because it all turned out to smooth. I mean professor didnt get mad at her for not telling him the real reason why she was with him.....Ummm female lead is to easily strayed /tricked by the supposedly fiancee of the male lead. She then becomes untrusting of him...

But besides that its a cute watch and if you are a romantic then this is a good watch for you.
