Overall I liked Fondant Garden but i did not love it. I enjoyed the cast and the story line though it was your typical romantic comedy with a little drama. The story was filled with cliches, light, a bit of fluff, kinda cookie cutter, trip and fall kisses, love hate, some twists, back stabbing etc. The twist happens early which I was fine with but I felt it dragged a bit. Some info says 16 episodes but I saw 24 so now I'm a little confused. The main actor character Po Xi Huan was immature, very playful, with an overload of cuteness. I wish they would have focused more on him maturing more. The first few episodes I believe was too long with the focus on this lie/misrepresentation. I think the story would have been effective with less on this lie/misrepresentation. I would have preferred to watch the lead growing more in his character while still maintaining his personality. The character Zheng Mi En was sweet and lovable. The characters Yan Han Xiang & Chen Ai Lin are kind of selfish but I think they are understandable based on their experiences. They are not evil; they have good intentions but are misguided in how they reach their goals. The ending was nice and everyone found a place where they fit in though getting to that final end again presented another twist which was a bit frustrating. Once again I liked Fondant Garden but i did not love it, I think with less emphasis on the unimportant things and more focus on important things this drama would have been great/better. 7 out of 10.
