I'm a huge Taiwanese drama fan, and usually there are about 1-2 good series released per year with a lot of familiar cast members. I decided to give this drama a shot as I hadn't seen a good Taiwanese drama in a while, and although I usually go for the romance/ comedy dramas (most Taiwanese dramas fit this criteria) I didn't know what to expect from this series as it was a melodrama/romance, BUT I am so happy that I started watching this.
This literally drew me in, within the first 10 minutes! I finished binged watching this drama in a matter of days.
The soundtrack fits with the drama and I have listened to the tracks over and over again (esp. the OP theme song.. LOVE the opening song). I love how the drama is filmed with the scenery/ mood of the drama being a little darker and more serious (usually there are always a cute title of the drama with cute animations during the breaks/ on the bottom of the screen). The actors have GREAT chemistry and the lead actor is SUPER HANDSOME, lead actress is BEAUTIFUL. It is refreshing to see new faces in this industry and I hope to see more dramas with the leads, because the acting was FLAWLESS and they played their characters really well- chemistry was 100/100. I felt every frustration, friendship, betrayal, sadness, love and happiness that the characters felt and overall I really really enjoyed this emotional roller coaster.
I love the story and romance in this drama. This is not so typical that it gets boring and cheesy in the middle, but a drama that constantly keeps you drawn in! It showcases the dark realities of the world and how a naive woman chooses to face it, which I really like. The only downside is the last half of the last episode where everything felt a little rushed, but for me, a Taiwanese drama that keeps me engaged for over 95% of the series deserves a huge RECOGNITION.
For those considering whether to watch it or not, don't say anything - GO WATCH THIS SERIES NOW! I highly recommend this drama to anyone who enjoys romance (with some cute bits in it too), handsome/ beautiful leads, stories about betrayal, friendship and building trust/ learning forgiveness. I really enjoyed this drama... and now that I have finished it.. don't know what to do in life anymore but rematch this series! GO WATCH IT :)

This drama is amazing. GO WATCH THIS NOW- and you wont regret it. I am in love with everything the drama offers, it is a really cute and heart-warming drama with an awesome OST. Loved listening to Soyou's and Xia's OST in the drama.
It is what it is. A romance comedy drama. It has romance, it has comedy (a lot of it actually) and the characters are extremely likeable, relatable and a little crazy. Every character in this drama makes the series really fun to watch- from the annoying ajusshis, to the sports star to the crazy girl who secretly has a crush on her CEO.
I admit the superstitions in this drama is ridiculous and sometimes, you'll face palm the main character for it. BUT, that is what the drama is about. If you go with the flow, you'll gradually understand why it came to be like that. This drama has chemistry with EVERY CAST MEMBER. The cast work REALLY WELL together in this drama.
To me, Ryu Jun Yeol is what MAKES THIS DRAMA WORK. I have become his biggest fan after this drama. I think everyone will be able to relate to his character in some way. He is a very fun character and enjoyable to watch. He is different from the typical male leads we often see in Korean dramas and I REALLY LOVE it. I think it's time for the traditional male leads to move aside, and make way for the more down to earth, shy and cute leads to move in.
I admit there are some flaws to this drama. BUT here's a tip. Don't focus on the little details of the story, don't point out the negative points of the story, don't try to out smart the writers of the drama. Just let it go, follow the flow of the drama, relate to the characters and you will find this to be a VERY fun and enjoyable drama to watch. I promise!

I started this drama because I was bored and needed a break from watching Korean dramas. I tend to watch the typical romance Taiwanese dramas because I love the comedy, romance and acting in Taiwanese dramas. Series like It Started with a Kiss, My Lucky Star, Just You, Refresh Man, When I see you Again, Behind Your Smile & many more have a special place in my heart because of the chemistry between the leading characters, and a few cute side stories from the second leads that accompany the series. This drama falls in that category. It has everything a Taiwanese drama typically has - the romance, the comedy, the cute scenes, the supportive/ opposing families, the second leads that do everything they can to get the lead's love etc, etc; so I thoroughly enjoyed this drama! I didn't expect to like it at all because the plot just didn't click with me, but I was wrong! I can see now why this drama has it's high ratings in Taiwan!
I loved the chemistry between the lead characters - you can see it from the get-go, and Ze Ming is hotness/cuteness all in the one package. The story does drag a little in the middle, but not too much that it ruins the drama. I find that these days Taiwanese dramas are getting better and better at managing the dreaded random stuff that happens in the middle mark in dramas. I liked the OST - esp. I will miss you by Bii. Mi Mi's family is so likeable and seriously makes this drama a little more heartwarming.
Overall, I highly recommend this drama for those who enjoy the typical romance T-Dramas- you can't miss this one! P.S I loved the Bromance reference in this drama LOL!

Seriously. The mood swings, the drinking, the yelling, the crying. It's somewhat exaggerated, yet relatable.
This drama captivated me since the first episode. I loved the chemistry between the main characters, and the side characters really make the story more fun and loveable. Sometimes, the scenes feel a little draggy, and repetitive- but that's the only downside to the drama.
The supernatural component of the drama is what made the drama more interesting for me.
I recommend this drama to anyone who like romance dramas.
