I'm really enjoying this show thus far. I love Reba and the role she is playing. I actually like the childish roles she plays, but I also like this more mature character. It reminds me of the second half of Flame's Daughter where her character is mature and has grown. I love Johnny as well, and I like that he isn't some cold, mean CEO who only mellows out by falling in love. He's actually pretty nice so far, and I already feel the chemistry between him and Reba. I also really love her friend and her style, and how they have a genuine friendship. The friend isn't just there as the passive main girl's best friend, who's only job is to give advice and encourage the main girl to get with the main guy; she has her own personality and her own storyline and I really like her relationship with the other guy. I like that there's a new episode every day, as it gives me something to look forward to, and I know that it's not going to take months to finish. So far it's had one of the strongest starts to any show I've seen, and I can't wait to see what they do with the rest of it.

Episode 7-11: 10 Stars
Still really enjoying this show. The relationship progression between the two mains is something I am liking very much. The two communicate very well, leaving little room for misunderstandings which I greatly appreciate. The plot is a little underwhelming, but is still good enough that I am not losing interest. I actively look forward to each new episode, and though I feel the plot isn't anything new, the characters and the acting make the show worth watching. Reba is still killing it, and I love Johnny's character and how they interact. The only thing I don't really like is the second female lead. She's your typical, terrible, jealous woman in love with the main male, and she adds nothing new to the role. Her childish character and actions feels out of place with the adult characters being shown by everyone else. It's like the show wants to be more mature, but still wants to keep some of the unnecessary drama tropes. Other than that the show is very good, and honestly I can look past it's flaws. I still think it's worth watching so far.

Episode 12-16: 8 Stars
I knew things were looking too good to be true relationship wise. As soon as they both got together I knew it wasn't going to last at all. And of course it was because of a stupid misunderstanding with Luna. I'm not going to lie, I don't remember much else that has happened other than they got together for like an episode and then break up almost straight away. I feel like on Zhou Fang's side, their relationship was way too fast. Like I didn't even think she liked him as more than a friend but then suddenly she did and then they were dating? That came out of nowhere for me. And then they communicate well at first, and then just don't. I also think her friend is starting to grate on me. I really liked her before, but not only does she give terrible advice, meddle where she doesn't need to, constantly invites the second lead to hang out despite Zhou Fang never showing any interest in him, she also is horrific in her own relationship. 'Wusan' is far from perfect, but she treats him terribly herself. I'm still watching the show, and I still want to know where it is going, but I definitely don't think they have just under 30 episodes of interesting content left to show. This could have had way less episodes and still have a good enough story. But 45? I don't think it's going to stay engaging that long.

Episode 17-19: 7 Stars
I am so far behind in this show right now it is unfunny. Currently there are 28 episodes out, and I'm only on 19. I've gone from watching it daily, to being way over a week behind, and that's because this show has lost it's spark for me. I'm going to catch up, and I will finish it, but it's hard to find the excitement for this show again. Nothing much is happening anymore, the plot and characters seem aimless, like no one knows where to take the show until we are far enough in to warrant them getting back together. Every episode seems more and more like filler. I'm still giving it a seven because I have hopes it will get better, but I have to admit I'm disappointed in how far it has fallen for me. Zhou Fang admits she likes Song Lin still, but then is dragging out their relationship, when it is clear he wants to get back together. I get there is nuance behind it, but still, it's getting a little old now.

So I dropped it. Honestly every time I went to watch an episode, I just decided to watch something else, because this show had lost it's pull. It started off very strong, however as it progresses, the things that made it unique and interesting became less and less, and it just felt boring. That's the risk that comes with having the couple together too early. It's disappointing because I genuinely enjoyed it at the beginning, but I have decided to officially drop it. Maybe others will enjoy the rest, but just not me :
