I am a sucker for tropes where there is a group of cute boys being protective of a girl and there's that one bad boy who falls in love with the girl, but tbh actually kind of bullies her and isn't the best example of a good human but then kind of redeems himself at the end. (Yes, there are probably multiple things wrong with that but blame society for making me think that such story lines are cute). I watched the Korean version of this and I think I liked it, but I prefer this version much more! I'v rewatched maybe 2/3 times now!

Liked:
- Dylan Wong and Shen Yue have really good chemistry. Even though I find the character of Shan Cai to be kind of annoying at times, I think their on screen chemistry is really good. They match each other's vibes really well.
- All the characters get really great storylines and it all pieces together nicely. Somehow I don't get annoyed by the side characters which is very rare.
- It's just all so cute!!!! As mentioned before, this trope really does it for me.

Disliked:
- I think the drama with the family and stuff was draggy for me. It was unnecessary.
- I also think the love triangle was unnecessary but I know a lot of people ship Shan Cai and Hua Ze Lei. And tbh if I were to pick the not so toxic boy, I should definitely go with Hua Ze Lei. But again, there is something about the bad boy character that really is intriguing. I blame society for this.

WATCH!!! and then REWATCH!!! and then REWATCH again. Even though I didn't give it 10/10 stars, I think this is one of the most easy to watch and just overall fun and can squeal often dramas.
