I love this drama so so so much. I found out about this drama through youtube and the fact that it stars a kpop idol, I just knew I had to watch. I do not stan WayV or any of the NCT units but I might start now because oh my god I loved Yan Yue so much. He is responsible, respectful, he cooks for her, he has good communication skills (for the most part), he's kind, he protects her from her sh*tty ex, and he is utterly gorgeous. What more can I wish for in a male lead? I also really loved An Ran. I don't mind the older/younger trope, as long as it's a reasonable gap, and I really like the way they set her up as slightly immature for her age so they balanced each other well. I also love love love that she protects him just as much as he protects her. They didn't set them up to be unequal, they both give an equal amount to the relationship. I just adore them so much, I don't know else how to express that anymore though without spoiling a lot. So onto my babies, Ying Jun and Meng Yao. I am a big sucker for the enemies to lovers trope, it never gets old for me. I really enjoyed that it didn't jump immediately from enemies to lovers though, that they actually set up a friendship first. Then we had the trouble period or as I like to call it, the Ying Jun not recognising his own feelings nor Yao Yaos. It's ok though, he figured it out eventually and they were so precious together.
Speaking of Ying Jun, can I just applaud the writers for giving us a completely platonic male/female friendship between Ying Jun and An Ran? No one sided feelings, he didn't like her in the past, they are just purely platonic besties and I love it!! Their friendship is so cute and wholesome. Speaking of cute and wholesome friendships, An Ran and Yao Yao were so lovely. I won't lie, when Yao Yao was introduced I was expecting her to be the second fl and for their friendship to be kind of surface level but no. They are supportive and loving and it's amazing. Also get you a friend who you can call on the phone while you're literally in the bathroom, I love it. The other employees were also lovely, I loved them all so much. They cared for and supported each other through everything, it was beautiful.
All that being said, I really think you should watch this. It's honestly my new favourite contemporary drama and I hope it will be yours too. The sound track is also really good, I'll be adding a few to my playlist. 11/10 stars<3
