Okay so to start with a little backstory...
At the time of starting this drama, I was about 11 episodes into Fall In Love With Me. I had started that drama months ago but I just couldn’t do it anymore, and the only thing keeping it on my “on-hold” list and off my “dropped” list was Aaron Yan. I was really enjoying filwm for like 1/3 of it, but soon he became my only reason for watching. I had been wanting to watch another one of his dramas, a good one, and this one got great reviews and was actually recommended to me.
So basically I watched this for Aaron Yan.
Also, Bromance had me really in the mood for a cutesy Taiwanese drama.
To be honest, I didn’t like the way it started. There was something about it, I don’t know if it was rushed or forced or whatever, it was just weird to me. Plus I didn’t really like Puff’s acting/character at first. But I don’t like to judge dramas based on the first episode, plus people talk so highly about it, so I kept watching. It was a rough start, but trust me it gets better.
Note: Puff’s character Liang Liang is loud. I don’t know how else to describe it. Loud and exaggerated. You just have to get used to it. I got used to it eventually, it only really bugged me in the first episode. She’s naive and innocent like a child, but she’s really sweet.
I actually really loved Liang Liang’s character development. She went from only worrying about everyone else and being so passive to taking control of what she wants. When she finally stood up for herself and Qi Yi, I was cheering.
I don’t have much to say about the plot. It was one of the rude guys becomes nice and changes because of the girl that came into their life kind of dramas with the addition of a forced living situation (if you can call it forced). I really like them, I know some people are sick of the trope. I thought this one was nicely done. I liked watching Qi Yi slowly fall for Liang Liang, their relationship was so sweet. Sometimes he was a complete idiot, but we’re not going to talk about that right now. The important thing was that if you also enjoy these kind of stories, you need to give this one a shot
Also, I liked the additional family aspect. The relationship that both of them had with their families was really sweet to watch, especially when they started to blend together.
I really didn’t like the second female lead/antagonist. Not enough to stop watching, but she bugged the crap out of me. The woman legit belonged in a mental institution I do not understand why they never called the police on her.
But what I thought was the golden aspect of the drama was the romance. They were really cute together. So cute. I really needed cute. I loved the way Qi Yi looked at her. And they kissed a lot and the kisses were really nice. Aaron Yan films really nice kiss scenes. Seriously guys if anything watch it for the kisses. And I absolutely loved the ending. The ending balanced out like every annoying thing that happened earlier in the drama.
Even now, a couple of weeks after finishing the drama, I'm still thinking about their sweetness and the sweetness of the story.
Overall, it was a fun watch. I’m glad I didn’t pass it up.
