Short and very sweet

This was a cute little series. It had a simple but nice story and it was good to see more mature characters rather than ones centered around high school or university age.

I really enjoyed it up until episode 10 (probably why it has the lowest rating in the whole series). The main couple had spent up until then being all "we'll always be together" and "no matter what, we will face it together." Then, all of a sudden, Li Kung is all "we have to break up" without explaining the reason why. Instead, he does the trope I probably hate the most where he makes the decision for both of them and says "I don't love you anymore." Like, seriously, why is that such a popular cop-out trope? How is anyone supposed to come back from that and say "just kidding!" like everything is all fine and dandy afterward? The only saving grace was that it gets resolved the very next episode instead of being dragged out for too long. But still, I absolutely loathe that trend and it unfortunately was the main cause this didn't get a higher rating from me.

Even so, this was still an enjoyable watch overall. Another good one to cleanse the palate with in between heavier dramas.
