This is a biased review. Read at your own risk!

You think this story is cliche? I thought so too and had doubts on whether I should watch it or not but it was worth it. Why? Because of how the actors portrayed their characters wasn't disappointing and they gave justice to each of their roles especially how they developed as the story progressed.

Yes, it is the typical cold and almost perfect ML and the clumsy and a little dumb FL, but, to me, it was a breath of fresh air. Why? Because the creators were able to balance the IQ and EQ between the characters especially the leads. It wasn't created just so they could give something to the audience. They wanted the audience to be able to feel and fantasize, and personally, I feel that they succeeded in doing that.

First off, let me start by saying that the FL and ML's chemistry is oozing. I mean, they really, really look good together on screen. Judging their chemistry, it's either they are really good at acting or it just comes naturally, and I choose to believe that it gave off from the two of them naturally. You won't feel the 8 year gap between these two.
I also want to commend the FL as a newbie in acting. I can feel all her frustrations, happiness, and sadness in the drama, all the time. She's a natural, although there are some parts that I feel she's lacking, but it was tolerable and she's really cute. I can say that the lead characters complement each other well. They patch up to what each other lacks and it was able to create a harmony that enabled them both to shine together; a supplement to each other.

I've watched a lot of other Chinese dramas before I discovered this one and what frustrates me most about some Chinese dramas is the dragging relationship between the leads. In this story, I personally feel that the pace of the development of the relationship between the leads is not too slow and not too fast. It was just perfect for me.

As a girl who judge by emotions, I was touched by this story because I felt the warmth that the creators wanted to extend to their viewers. The story just makes you want to love and be loved. It just wants to make you wish that characters like them do exist in real life.
