It had an epic love story, great for viewers who like or are interested in cooking. I loved it, I don't rewatch dramas, but if we're to I definitely would rewatch this. Be prepare to shed tears because this an emotional rollercoaster. The first drama I ever cried watching like actually continuous tears. It also starts of really funny so eases it's way into it, but the first episode is where the excitement begins. The main leads also sure great chemistry. Each character had their own background so it wasn't just random chapters just popping out of nowhere, they actually had meaning a reason for being there. I watched this during winter vacation and the story line just warms you right up

It was entertaining to say the least

I would not say this drama was extraordinary, but it definitely wasn't bad. If you want to just pass some time I think this may be a good fit especially since the episodes are short.

That all being said you may have to put aside your morals in order to be accepting of the ML. He is quite manipulative and gaslights the FL for a good majority of the plot. His gaslighting and manipulation and the sole reasons why he was so close to the FL and the FL is incredibly gullible and just believes all his lies without a second thought. This was quite infuriating and it is certainly not a healthy basis for a relationship. But it pains me to say this, his gaslighting was one of the best parts of the show. His manipulation was laughable, but after he got with the FL, he stopped being manipulative and the show got boring.

After the leads got together it was evident that that was the point of the show and many episodes after were wasted. I love side couples, but in my opinion, they had too much screen time. I love seeing other couples get together, but this series dedicated around 3 episodes for a single couple to get together and it felt like a miniseries, as nice as this sounds it was a waste of the episodes when the show could've focused on something more productive. It was great for Rain Wang because she played two characters and since the show focused on side couples so much, she had the most screentime of the cast.

Since so much time was wasted on side couples, the last couple of episodes were rushed and unsavory. It seemed that was everything together because they knew they had to end the show so soon. The last episode had three different plot lines that ended before they could begin. Seeing that this show started out so fast-paced it's a shame that they rushed all the plot holes in the last 30 minutes of the series.

All that being said, the show was still quite interesting, and I was able to finish it without many complaints, but I do wish the show didn't become dragged out and rush at the same time.

Watch if you're bored

This was a short little drama that you could finish in one sitting if you wanted to.

There show did not have much depth, it was a couple that runs an inn and meets bizarre people along the way. This show served for comedic purposes mainly, one could tell that they were trying to be funny, but it wasnt to the point of cringe. The show was actually enjoyable.

Every time the leading couple hosted a new set of people in their inn it just brought them closer together, which added to the great chemistry the leads.

My only complaint was the supernatural aspect, i did take a break while watching this, so my memory may not be the best, but it seemed like the people in this show would have supernatural ability, but at the same time they were normal? Maybe i was missing out of something but watch this show if you need a lighthearted laugh.

Could have been shorter

This was a great high school drama, like the ones that made you feel like you wanted to be in high school again. I love the friendships in this story, it made the show enjoyable and easy to watch. There was a second male lead, but he wasn't annoying. The leads had a healthy relationship, and the friendships in this story were just the icing on the cake. And in the end, I really did for the characters, but that being said I did not like the structure of the show.
I personally like stories that have a plot throughout the show and the conflict is presented midpoint and so on. But in this show, they resolved the main conflict of the show at the midpoint of the series. And after that, it just felt like a bunch of filler episodes. I think this series would have been better if was about 12 to 18 episodes long. I thought it was too long, not to say that it dragged, but you could tell the writer was just adding things in to fit the episode requirement. It was still a good show, but it had a bunch of subplots, which I can't say I enjoyed too much. About every 6 episodes or so was a different subplot, if you enjoy shows like these you'll probably like this one. But I prefer a show with continuity rather than a series that is broken up. It felt like a compilation of high school stories, which is not a bad thing it is just not for me.
I will say after a while I lost interest in the main couple and started liking the second couple and the boy best friends better. The only regret I have with this show is that they did not expand on the storyline of the boy best friends. I know this is due to censorship laws in China, but their story could have been great.
Overall if you want to watch a few stories of high school figuring it out while laughing along the way, this would be the series for you.

I honestly watched this just to past time, but it was a literal mess. I only finished it, so if the show would get slightly better.

The acting was absolutely horrible from the fight scenes to the scenes that were supposed to emotional. This show was not a comedy, but i found myself laughing about how horrible the acting was.

The plot was decent, but it was done so poorly that they were so many holes. I often asked myself what was going on because none of what was happening made any remote sense.

And there was no chemistry between the characters at all. The gentleman that ended up with Chen Xuan was more of a side character than a main character, but then again so was the second lead. When the couple got together it was like they just wanted anyone to be together and was painful to watch.

Honestly there was not much of a point to this show Kuang Xiao Tong seemed like she wanted to be a good actor, but wasnt all there yet, but the rest of the cast were very bad. The whole production was actually very bad.

Watch at your own risk!!

I have heard a lot of people this drama was boring, but i think it was a sweet and different take opposed to cliche dramas. This was a work of individuality, i have not seen anything like this a I loved it.
The beginning of the show throws you right and the middle of the characters lives and by doing so i think it makes us viewers think more and pay attention more to the show. Although you may spend the first few episodes feeling confused, i thought this was a way to make the audience more engaged with the show.
I think was a lot to the plot that was explained and developed clearly. There werent many loose leaving you wondered what would happen to so and so.
Every actor in this drama played there parts well. It wasnt like they were just acting it was like i was watching people live their lives. Park min young and seo kang joon had amazing chemistry and the characters they played had a relationship that was pure and simple. I haven't seen a more understanding and warm man like im eun seob. The characters really go through a lot to be happy and the writers really made that a point of the show, which was all the more meaningful.
And eun seob's journals at the end of each episode were so cute making the show itself worth the watch. And the theme of having a secret crush is a enjoying thing to watch.
I havent rewatched it, but i feel like if you do the show would seem more fast paced because you have more of a background of each character.
