Blandest Rom-Com I've ever seen.
For a drama about romance, the leads had the DRIEST romantic chemistry I've ever seen. It's a watchable show, but eh. The comedy and acting were nice. Sometimes the comedy was a little over the top or forced. (Looking at you Dad) But the romance....The leads had a good bickering/playful chemistry, but the romantic chemistry just wasn't there. They couldn't sell to me that they were supposed to be THE couple in love. They had one real kiss and all the others were awkward accidents. The story focused more on saving a love tree instead of letting the love chemistry between the leads develop. Then you had the MOST annoying second lead who doesn't know how to take a hint. A second couple that were great as separate characters, but were TERRIBLE as a couple because their union was pretty much forced. They had no romantic chemistry. Best character? The Grandmother. She barely had any lines or screen time, but when she arrived, her delivery was awesome.
The first 12 episodes are pretty much comedic relief and draggy, so you skip a lot with this drama. 13 til about 17 when Tong'er enters, the story gets somewhat interesting. From there onward, it's just focused on the tree and the story becomes draggy and uninteresting til the very end. The actors did a good job, but there was so much they could've done with this script.
It's good for a first time watch, but it's a very forgettable drama. This wasn't my cup of tea. Maybe others out there will enjoy this.
PS. The soundtrack was so nice to listen too. The leads have a theme song that I love, now I'm on the hunt to find it.
