You two seem to have exchanged your gender because of the relationship?

At first when i knew of this airing, i came to check comments and then saw that the ml is actually an idol so i immediately gave up the thought of watching this. Then, after coming across some clips on yt, I was hesitant about watching this after i read some comments. Third try and i finally decided to give it a try and i don't regret. Thanks to youtube clips, i got interested and then binged all the available eps in 2 days. And finally for the first time i finished a drama simultaneously with its airing.
I enjoyed it a lot more than i thought. Maybe that's because I could relate a lot with the fl, to the extent where i could see my older self in her, just maybe not that successful, but yeah in terms of personality, hidden crush, and no romantic life, no nonsense attitude, I'm totally like her. Other reasons for me to like is the ml. When he first came on screen i felt like here we go, a rich spoilt brat again. But not gonna lie, he is handsome and hot and i have no issues regarding his acting. He very much looked the part and portrayed his character well, a flirtatious rebel young guy first time actually in love with a woman who likes someone else. He had different sides to him.. he was reckless and childish at times, but he was considerate, caring, gentle and responsible and a softie within. Welll i really don't watch idol dramas and i don't like them at all, so maybe this kind of character is not what i am used to, considering that i only watch historical and fantasy cdramas. But somehow i really liked almost everything of this one.
I liked the characters of both the leads. They had amazing chemistry. Logically, they were polar opposites and opposites attract. As appealing as ml was, the sml, the former boss and crush of the fl was a safer choice for her. They were on the same wavelength and at a similar place in life, mature and successful and VERY BORING , and courteous to each other. The  ml was a risky choice being young and all, but he brought out her suppressed youthful and carefree side. He was impulsive, little immature and maybe not that appropriate for her, but oh well, when has love ever known logic. But he was so warm and caring, and definitely not a cold prick. He could be said to be an adventurous choice for her. Yet they had a beautiful and healthy relationship. They both were so supportive of each other. Similarly, the sfl, childhood friend who likes the ml, is an equally childish, over energetic, annoying spoilt rich young girl in the same place in life as him with similar status. Ah and only if all mothers were like ml's mom!
The difference in the way fl interacted with the 2 of them was so clear. You would understand if u watch it. Though i couldn't help but swoon over how sweet and charming he was in his efforts to woo her. There was a lot of character growth for the fl and ml, they started developing what they lacked in themselves to become better.

Actually I think that this show overall was very realistic in depicting the life of 3 women- a regular young girl having her fairytale romance with her middle school one who got away sweetheart; a successful internet celebrity who seems to have a perfect life, who in fact is a mess and has a lot of baggage of marriage crisis, days of school life bullying, insecurity etc.; and one very successful white collar who seemingly has everything, but also lives a lonely life. I liked the friendship aspect too.
The sml and sfl complemented and balanced each other just like ml and fl so even if it looked impossible for them i shipped them.
There weren't any characters that i hated as such but I really didn't like that bitch Song Xue. i liked the interactions between the sml and sfl, they were hilarious. The 2nd couple was sooo sweet and cute. Jingjing and her husband were one complex couple.

The story was light with many comedic moments and it was a good watch. It lacked depth, yet was kinda about regular lives of people. It had so many funny scenes. The ml showed his emotions so easily which is rare in cdramas, so his reactions in 2 scenes were particularly priceless - when he got back his bike, when he thought jiangyue was pregnant. XD  Also the proposal plans were soooo beautiful. I loved the ending soooo much T_T

The osts were catchy and cute. I loved the jewellery jingjing and sfl used so much.

Alright i guess I am a little too emotionally invested in this series so im gonna stop here.

I recommend watching it, if nothing else it is pretty entertaining, sweet, fluffy, light, cute and very heart warming.
