IT'S WORTH THE WAIT!!!!

It's worth the wait

WOW. Just Wow!
I have been waiting for this drama for months, now i already finished it. I might say all my agonizing days and self restraint to watch this while airing is all worth it. I have watched the movie first before this that's why I am really ecstatic to know there'll be a drama adaptation, and it's Lusi, one of my fave C drama actress who'll be the FL!!!!! Honestly I am expecting a little bit from this, cz it'll be Lusi. And I think it did meet my expectations, they really get the real parts from the movie of course it was on the former parts of the drama. But I did hope they put GSN's dog in the movie, tho i understand that it might be difficult. Also It's funny and very refreshing. FYI we have classes now, I just spoil myself watching dramas to be stress free from all of our school works. AND BECAUSE I AM REALLY WAITING FOR THIS TO BE FULLY SUB UNTIL OUR CLASSES OPENED ㅜㅜ

Plot.
I love the premise. Since I already watched the movie, I know what will come on the first half. Tho, I am really pissed that they cut too many scenes ㅜㅜ It could've help the story telling more understandable. As oppose to people who say the last half ruined the show, I THINK YOU ARE ALL WRONG. It's the plot, and I think what happened with Lu Zheng is a lesson for him, for Lu Jin and GSN. It helped the characters to develop, and that's a good thing. I also like the way things got resolved. Of the 2nd season is true, well I'll be glad. But I just think they should've put this until episode 30, in that way we can all see everyone's future, with no drag or abruptness of the plot .

Characters:
First I have to say i was not bothered by the age gap. It's evident in the show, but they really had chemistry and all of these stereotypes were washed away. They're so cute and I think their partnering here was soooooo good. I love Lusi's acting of course, she's mastering romcoms and I love her for that. She's very lovely, and she's very professional. I like her silly moments in the drama. Next I know many of you will agree that LJ is, if not the best, one of the best CEO's from Drama land, he's really an intelligent businessman you know? Not like other drama ceo's these days who makes silly things just to get the girl. I love his character more by the second half, he proves his love for GSN and his position as the CEO. I am also very thankful for the side characters, to xinjie, zhaodi, and the uncle, for helping the main leads know what they truly feel. They really did a great job supporting the main leads. Unlike other ppls opinion, yeah I don't also like Li Man, but I applaud her for not pushing herself wayyyy too much into Lu Jin's life, by the time she had confirmed LJ true feelings towards GSN, she didn't even bothered them again. Also LJ mom, i considered her good here, yeah she has given GSN a hard time but we all know she's also a mother who wants to protect her child. I like that she is not overreacting in some scenes, unlike other drama mother-in-laws who're really annoying and will even do what it takes to break the Main leads relationship.
I also have to say on the last episode I really feel proud to them, to Lu Jin to GSN, to Lu Zheng, to LJ Mom, to Xinjie and to Zhaodi.

Music
The music is also good, esp. the one that Lusi sang, that's really adorable and it reflects the whole show that's why I love it. I also love the other songs that's why I am on my way searching these songs and putting it all on my playlist

Rewatch Value
I am sure be rewatching this drama maybe, a year from now or months. I'll just have to forget, and then if I lack dramas to watch this is one of the few dramas on my list that I'll be turning into and will be rewatching.
