A non-fussy romance drama with the right amount of every other things; angst, action, comedy, etc.

Acting skills: FL is slightly better than ML
Visuals: both look lovely and here comes my biased comment; ML is tall and handsome with warmth and grace in his personality which is enough major reason for me to complete the drama within 48 hrs
OSTs: not bad - there are probably only 2 songs and i like them
Overall: fun and interesting plot. adorable support roles. no love triangles (thank goodness). no redflag male leads (many thank goodness lol i need a break)

A cozy drama for literally anyone who wants to just chill inside when the autumn weather takes place :)

It is difficult to form this review because I'm in half-shock that I actually made it through all the EPs (skipping & 2x speed included). First I gotta say it started off well and interesting. I have a big crush on Alen Fang. I really really hope his next project will be something better than this one. I'd also like to see him in modern shows.

Many things about this show is wrong, but one thing they got right is the main cast: four of them did a great job esp the 2nd couple (..i know but i'm only talking about the acting not the plot). The chemistry is superb and imo better than the 1st couple. I hope also they will reunite in a better project.

This show might be for you if you're in a weird mood like when you get so bored from browsing and then you cant decide what to watch, maybe this one will blow your mind a bit haha

I was entertained but overall quality is poor

I rarely rate any show less than 7 but this one is unfortunately lower than my standard. It is full of 1) actors doing monologue directly to the camera and 2) slow-motion scenes with bg music. The story is quite boring and does not make much sense. The costume&make-up are not nice. However, I want to leave some positive reviews about it as I somehow completed the show.
- The main leads chemistry and acting are impressive. They are all rounders; they can do romance, angst, and comedy.
- The OSTs are good but i hear them too often as stated above; too much bg music it almost looks like MV instead.
- The kids are adorable.
- Happy Ending.
- Despite the low budget, they rent a helicopter for the finale.
- The bodyguards make me laugh bcs they wear black shades all the time in any situation.
- Strong, quirky and goofy FL. I like her.
- Attractive ML. He reminds me a bit of Mike Piratch (Thai actor).

almost on par with LLTG

This review contains not only spoilers, but also huge ranting over the romance aspect of the show. I need to get it off my chest otherwise I wil combust. This couple has driven me insane. I am a really really picky viewer when it comes to chemistry - and they managed to nail it in every. single. way.

I almost dropped it during the first 3-4 EPs. Mystery/detective work/politics are not so much my cup of tea BUT the chemistry kept me going (+ the soundtracks also did). So glad I decided to continue. What a ride.. i laughed, cried, smiled, flipped the table, bit the couch and so on.

My most favorite part would be around EP4-5 until EP25. Yes - the slow burn. The perfect wonderful genuine top form slow burn. This is how it's done. I never went so this nuts since LLTG. Whoever is in charge of casting Yuxi and Enxi, i hope you are having a very very good day always.

The story is not flawless. Some editings are weird. Some plot lines dont make sense (or i might be too dumb to understand). Minor things here and there in this show might make me feel like hmm its not so good BUT once the soundtrack starts playing and the couple are on screen - nothing matters. This show is very good and they are so beautiful. They make me genuinely happy.

The supporting characters also have great effect on me. Esp Jing Lin.. my poor poor man. Bro wakes up and works hard every day. Madam Xu also works really hard while looking graceful and superior all the time. Idk why exactly did the 3rd couple have to die.. i got quite sad. Cant mention them all but each role really did a great job.

Yuxi and Enxi must reunite in a modern rom-com / melodrama / or just ANYTHING PLEASE. Do these two even know how much power they hold!?!

If you read until here, and you are a big fan of romance (esp slowburn), and you want a sign to start/continue this show, DO IT OTHERWISE YOU WILL REGRET. One of the best I've seen so far in terms of romance. I'll now end the review and go rewatch it.

ps. have i mentioned the 'its you, its always been you' trope? oohh its so well-executed. chef's kiss.

First of all, i agree with the previous review 'Actors lacked conviction of their characters', thus no chemistry between the couple. I started watching it purely bcs of CYF. I personally dont like FL appearance, character and acting (nothing to do with the actress).

It's a shame bcs they could've made something much more interesting with the plot. I think time-travelling plots are generally beneficial -- however they failed to execute it so things turned out ridiculous and boring. I dont even know when/why ML fell for FL.

Guess I have to try another new drama of CYF or go back to rewatching Enslaved by Love. Hope this man gets the project that matches his potential soon..

Here for the romance & chemistry

Its a random watch for me. I saw ML from a fireman drama and I thought, hmm he has potential - lets see how he does here. And well, he does not disappoint :D

I honestly skipped many scenes as I am not into this field of work/business. However, i am so impressed with the romance part; the couple story line, the progress and development, all the peak scenes - they are very well executed! Huge applaud for the leads and the director.

A must for viewers who are into leads' chemistry and realistic + emotional kiss scenes. They have so many kiss scenes i felt like they should get married irl at one point haha

Kim Myungsoo's performance

I'm not his fan. I never really paid attention to him before.
But I'm becoming his casual fan after this show.

If you're looking for a break from heavy romance/angst stuff - this show is for you.
I didn't expect anything. I started watching because I miss seeing something sageuk.
Eventually I got so hooked - the ML (Myungsoo) did an amazing job. I was rooting for him and his team emotionally.
I finished the show with joy and warm-hearted feels.

Myungsoo is so talented. Visual + Acting both superb. I've been tracking back his music career and will be looking forward to his next acting project.

As a general viewer & As a shipper

As a general viewer:
This drama is not flawless, but I can hardly pay attention to any flaws because the casts and the production are AMAZING. It is the first c-drama that managed to pull me away from k-drama land. It is THAT AMAZING. Romcom with the right amount of angst. No long dragging misunderstanding / love triangle. OTP being 'us against the world' most of the time. I know people dislike the soundtracks but I think some of them are good. Overall score 9.5 but what I really meant was 9.95 - almost very very close to perfection!

As a shipper:
do i really have to say anything? this is where it all started *sobs*
the precious drama that means so much to both leads esp bailu my lovely girl.
wonder if yunlu ever thought of coming this far since the day they said yes to their roles.
nobody can survive this ship srsly its either we successfully sail to the happily ever after land or we go down with the ship (in case it sinks - BUT IT WONT). YUNLU 3RD DRAMA WHEN!?
