Trigger warning
Yes it gets darker as other viewers mentioned.There's a rape. Very brutal rape as it's always like that. So if you went through this, don't watch. It's painful and horrible.
Cold murder. Same thing. End is sad. Some survived but at what cost.
You are aware now.
I wish we had seen her parents, specially her stupid dad/dictator who thought he could militarize his daughter. I understand she wanted to leave.
This movied was very well played. For once, there was no cliché crap but it's a very dark movie close to reality.

Same old soup
Same old soup in Asian dramas romance : He's rich, she's poor, daddy doesn't want him to marry anyone than the one he chose, sister's a bitch. How boringNothing new but old same crap with actors who show no emotions.
At least the Koreans girls don't have that stupid childish voice like in Chinese dramas.
Yes I'm going to watch until the end. That's what I always do when I start a movie/serie, even if it's stupid, just to see how it'll end.
What a bore.
If you are not fed up to watch the same series with the same stories, go ahead.
I wish someone would have written this before so I don't end up writing it myself.

Stupid. Not even funny.
Sorry but nope. Not funny at all. They tried though.Even Lee Yi Kyung is not funny.
I wasted my time thinking it would be funny because many said it was.
Waikiki was really funny and I'm disappointed that Lee Yi Kyung wasn't as funny as in Waikiki.
I hope he won't be stuck in these kinds of roles in the future.
Je pense qu'il rame parce qu'on ne lui donne pas de supers rôles à jouer. Dommage car il est très expressif.
Cela ne me donne même pas envie de regarder It's you, out of the blue non plus.

What a waste :( ... in the beginning...
Because I always finish the movies/series I watch, I have to finish it but not without giving my review.Since as today it's on Netflix, let me share my views.
The plot is ok, not really funny.
As for the irritation, the "grandma" that is in fact a man dressed as a women, I already cringe.
But the other one is the female lead's mom : also a man.
They don't have enough older actresses?
So this is really painful to watch.
Also that tyrannical girl, as is the brother couldn't just take it from her hand... Not saying what it is though.
As if he also couldn't explain his parents what happened.
All of them are lying to each other about anything!
This show is not even based on misunderstandings but lies...
I just cannot wait to finish to see where it goes because I always finish what I start.
Oh and the "grandma" mad at Xiang because he lied about her? What about YOU who lied to the whole family to force him to marry?
I'm at 72 now and not happy her first love left :(
What's that background noise sometimes? And this music? You barely hear what they say.
Li was overacting, painful to watch.

BEST SHOW EVER!!!
I don't have enough words to say how great that show is!!!No soapy crap clichés, but laughter!
David Wang plays so well his role you are just observing him as the sneaky one. He's really the right actor for that!!! I so enjoy watching him!
Victoria Song plays sooo well too with her manners and faces, it's a delight!
Yu shu Xin is annoying as the spoiled brat and she plays soo well too!!! Oh when she eats it's so funny!! I hope she didn't have to repeat the scenes otherwise she'd be super fat!! ha ha ha!
The story is all about ooops and hugh sequences and I love every single one of them!
Of course, there's love, we know how it'll end too but there are many surprises as we go into the episodes!
I cannot say anything bad about this show and wish we had many more like this one.

Love it!
I love it!!! I love it!!! I love it!!!I so love the children!
All the actors are fantastic!
They play well.
The countryside is great and I saw the tye dye fabric from the Bai women! Makes me want to go there and learn!
I love how the women are dressed.
There's friendships, some trials and no rivalry.
Episode 9 : palmier comes from France, not Shangai.
I would rewatch it for sure.
This serie is good for the soul.
I have not much to say that I give it a 10 in all points!

I laughed all the way... until...
Yes, I laughed because it was more rugby than anything football!Actors played well even if the story is goofy!
I can say if you want to spend some good time, go for it!!!
It's light, it's friendship, unity, loyalty.
A team.
But here comes some BS again I cannot stand, at 1:39... here comes the lgbt agenda again and those who dare say something against it are views as bigots and abnormal... mmmm... This has nothing to do with the plot but they had to add this that didn't bring anything to the story and it made a big flop!
So if you don't want to put up with that, don't watch. At least you are warned.

Her personality change
So for those who mention her personality difference between now and before : have you ever had your heart crushed when young?I had my heart crushed many times, young and old and I can tell you : it shapes you into a different person.
According to some reviews she becomes her self when she's back with him : because her heart is restored.
I had my heart crushed forever and nothing will be restored. I'm a total different person.
When you lose a loved one, that's what it does.
I'm at episode 6 and enjoying it so far.

After only one episode, I said enough!
I understood right away after one episode that she was a manipulative pervers narcissist!!The guy is a naive guy who never had a relationship.
He's kind, but weak.
Even if she has a past, whatever it is, it's a broken ego, that needs to vampirize someone in order to live. To suck the life out of someone. That's the pattern in all MPN!!
They are all acting the same way. They are calculators, manipulators, mean, delight in making others suffers and I know that's what was going to happen in this serie!
And, I don't want to watch that kind of thing.
I'm not masochistic.
Having been in two relationships with MPN, I recognize them right away and watching this kind of things reminds me of the past.
NO THANKS!!

Stupid, childish and boring
I had to stop after the 6th episode.This is really unbearable!
She's stupid, childish, masochistic and this cringy voice those Chinese girls have is unbearable.
That Dino Lee guy is ugly and looks dumb, snob and mean. I'm tired of those emotionless actors. When it's not those actresses full of botox, it's also the young guys! What the heck?
I prefer the other guy who plays well and is so expressive. Knoing she's going to end up with the mean, manipulative one, I just don't want to waste my time watching some 10 year old girl marrying an abuser.

Narcissist personality disorder.
Thanks to the first review I read after I watched the episode, I just stopped watching!I caught right away this Manipulative Perverse Narcissist behavior!
This is good to watch when you don't know how that works but for me, having been 16 years under a husband like that, I'm done!
I already saw she was a NPD after her reaction!! But had a doubt at first when he was waiting, she was late, and she told him she couldn't come then after she saw his face, sends him a text saying she was joking : typical NPD!!!
So if you don't want to see this because you are in such a relationship, don't even watch!
For me, after one episode, I'm done.

So she can't resign?
How stupid is this?First thing when she's introduced, it's she's been working for 4 YEARS, 7 MONTHS AND 3 DAYS!!!!
Remember that!!!
And he tells her she CANNOT RESIGN when she wanted to?
How stupid is she to not remember how long she's been working in this company????
Oh come on! She's supposed to be the CEO's assistant... duh...
So the directors think we are stupid???
But as usual, when I start something, unless it's the usual agenda I cannot mention that is seen in most European/American shows, I continue watching.

I cannot stop laughing
I heard it was funny but that much??? No way!!!! Ha ha ha!!The scene with the guy full of foam out of the shower...
But the most hilarious one was with the film director!!!!
Whaaat? I'm supposed to understand the guy who doesn't talk???
How can that happen?
Then he's blamed because he didn't understand. And when he meets his friends, he tells him what happened and he understood right away!!! As I type, I'm recalling the scene and laugh!!!
I don't know if it's going to be absurb all the way like that but I really really hope so!
Episode 2 : it's one word not two! It doesn't matter!!!
I just can't handle it anymore, I almost peed!! Hahaha!
What do they have with those French shirts/sweats etc??? Club pétanque, Merci beaucoup...
The clinical trial... ha ha ha!

Plastic surgery
Even if the plot is interesting I just avoid those actresses who look alike because they had their faces redone. That kills the whole serie.I finished watching Down with love with Ella Cheng and that's the kind of actress I want.
It's already difficult for non-Asians to recognize who is who sometimes so when those women have the same face features, it's impossible for me to watch.
And I do the same with non-Asians movies or series.
I love comedy drama with misunderstandings and love that end well.
Please actresses, stop the plastic surgery and find your niche in acting! It's way more enjoyable for the viewers!
