Natural and Realistic Romance
This is a very slow burn romance that is natural in the sense that it grows at a really nice and realistic pace. It's not love at first sight, hate-to-love or obsession, it's just pure and quite boring romance. It is also realistic in the sense that the drama focuses on the work life and romantic life of all the characters and it has a good balance of this. If you want a slow but real romance, then I'd recommend this.
I loved the leads in this drama. This is the first drama I've seen where both leads are level headed, reasonable and actually stay together throughout the drama. Any issues they have in their relationship is resolved within an episode. There is no dragged out drama that break them up and get them together again. Despite all the drama in this show and how many people are trying to get in the way of their relationship, nothing stops the leads from doing what they want and being with whomever they want. They also had really good chemistry together, it seemed so natural and not at all forced. The FL and the SML have a very different relationship, the way they portray their characters, their relationship is meant to be forced and it's seen through their chemistry.
I actually really liked the FL (Mo Fei) in this drama. She was talented, independent, level headed and always pursued her dream. She didn't need a man to help her, if anything they got in the way. People liked her for her talent and personality and despite the fact that she was not of the same economic status as the ML, you can tell that she had a very bright future ahead of her as a designer and that she will make it big in the industry. She never got into any drama, and if anyone made it difficult for her or tried to jeopardise her, she would put them in their place through words alone. It doesn't matter who they are, she will put them in their place. And I love that despite how trusting and friendly she is, she will never let anyone walk over her or get away with it.
I loved a lot of the friends that the FL made on her way to rise in her career especially her first roommate in France, Duoduo. Duoduo was probably my second favourite character after the FL. She was such a sweet friend and amazing girlfriend in my opinion, but she used violence unlike the FL, and I felt like her unreasonable was sometimes more reasonable than the FL's reasonableness. Duoduo didn't let things slide and only forgave a person if they put in effort. But the FL was so easily willing to forgive an old friend for backstabbing her even though the friend didn't ask for nor want forgiveness. If that was Duoduo in that situation, she'd slap the girl, call her for her shit in front of a crowd and then walk off never looking back.
Another one of my favourite characters was the SML's sister. She was really sweet, nice and reasonable despite her dire situation.
The FL's brother was also one of my favourites. The FL and her brother had such good chemistry, they just exuded sibling energy throughout.
The most unreasonable character in this drama was definitely the SFL. She is a character that went against everything the FL represented despite being in the same field of work. She is an independent woman but became what she is in order to get a man who clearly said he has no interest in her and she was completely fine with the idea of marrying a man that can't love her. She doesn't suck up to the man either, she sucks up to the mother which is even worse because she believes that she can force him into marriage by simply getting the approval of his mother. I hate people like her in dramas who sacrifice everything for a man they're not in a romantic relationship with, and then blame the man for not loving them. The FL, despite being with the ML never sacrifices her dream to be with the ML. They did long distance and it worked. If anything, this drama teaches you to put your dream before any person.
One more thing I have to mention are the outfits. The outfits alone will make you believe that this is a fashion romance. I mean the outfits of all the characters in every episode were just gorgeous not to mention the wedding outfits. I loved the wedding outfits so much, it suited the characters so well.
