Headline is an Easter Egg for the show.
My Little Happiness is the best 'First-Love' drama that I have watched to date. The 2nd Main Leads also have so much story and interaction behind them that also has the audience's ship. Honestly, if we put the doctor and lawyer stories to the side and only focused on the couples stories, I would have definitely rated this drama 10/10. Though first half of the show and plot did get slightly tiresome where it was mostly the ML's one-sided pushy crush who knew what was going on and just won't confess. HOWEVER, after the big reveal + one of the best confessions, BOOM, sparks start flying and it becomes one of the best romantic couple stories to the end. Give this drama a try as I keep coming back to watch the fluffy clips over and over again and now writing this review when I originally finished this series when it was still airing. It has been 9 months...and I am back again.
Quick Story/Plot
The ML is a great doctor and the FL is a righteous lawyer. The two are actually childhood sweet-hearts and due to reasons, the FL moved away during a school vacation. Promising the ML she will return shortly after and meet him under the old tree, the ML has since been waiting at the start of every school term for the FL. Now years have passed and the FL forgotten about the original promise, went to see her new supervisor (the ML) and happens to meet under the promised tree. From there, the ML becomes a flamboyant supervisor/usual hidden 'unofficial boyfriend' trying to be in every part of the FL's life. The first half of the show was a 8.5 rating, but 2nd half sky rocketed for me to 9.5 (Couldn't give the show a 10 because of the frustration I had to go through at the beginning).
That said the background doctor and lawyer plots are so-so and character-to-character interactions got frustrating at times as the story is just there as a means to drive the relationship of the main couple. If you don't take the plot to heart, I would not blame you if you skipped to the cute fluffy scenes as we are watching a romance drama, not some fancy medical/lawyer case drama.
Quick Acting/Cast/Characters
- The ML is a surgeon and has been loyally waiting for the FL for years at the promised location. Upon finally meeting her, he becomes the endearing boyfriend that is cautiously caring and protecting the FL. It was frustrating to me that the ML did not confess/reveal early on, but when the ML/FL become a couple, they had so much CP going on between them that I thought they were a real-life couple. They did not shy away from kiss scenes from that point onwards.
- The FL is a lawyer with a strong sense of justice and righteousness to protect the vulnerable. She is strong, independent and goal-driven to become a lawyer. To the FL, the ML comes off as a random guy she just met, trying to hit on her which I can understand she is being cautious, but after the reveal, she throws her entire heart into the relationship.
- Wen Rang is the uncle of the ML but not that much older. He was hurt badly by his ex-girlfriend and is reluctant to love again and taking his time to heal his heart by running a book store and writing novels.
- ZCC is the best friend of the FL and is a wealthy girl running a skewer restaurant who is quite pure. She fell in love at first sight with WR and starts chasing him. The interaction between ZCC and WR are quite cute which made the audience ship ZCC alot wishing her to succeed in finally getting WR.
Music/OSTs
The OSTs and music perfectly fit with the drama and quite memorable where I still remember which drama the song was from after listening to it again recently. The songs also show great depiction of the cute fluffy relationships the MCs are going through.
Rewatch Value
I have rewatched this drama many times and always keep coming back for the fluffy/hot scenes. There is a reason why clips of the notable scenes are always floating around and attracting so many views, because it is still great!
Why my final rating (9.5)
As mentioned above, I would give the show a 10 if it wasn't for a few downsides at the beginning that impacted the overall story telling and romance progression of the MCs. The MCs relationships are quite romantic and the 2nd half of the show had me swooning all the way to the end with all the kiss scenes. There is reason why the MDL rating is a 8.6 and most of the other reviews are quite high for this drama. If you do not like the wishy-washy start and want to go straight into the romantic relationship part, I believe episode 10 is when it begins. When you are up to my Easter Egg headline part, remember to smile :)
