A happy and fluffy romance you shouldn't miss
If you are contemplating whether to watch this series, I would say just do it!Initially, upon reading the reviews on this page, I was a little worried to finish the drama BUT I'm so glad I started on it. Despite some saying the plot eventually focused on the other couples, I appreciated it because it allowed the development of the side characters. The first 16 episodes focused on getting the main couple together and afterwards, we get to enjoy the sweet romance between the main couple and watch the growing romance of the side couples!!
***SPOILER***
Despite this being a romance drama, I love that the plot focused on the story rights problem instead of trying to create unnecessary tension between the main couple. They added a little hint of love triangles but they didn't go overboard to the point it was so frustrating.
All in all, I highly recommend watching if you want to watch a happy romance^^ I absolutely loved the blunt and straightforward female lead that fought the quiet-"cold" male lead head-on to slowly make her way into his heart.
Things I think people might not like after episode 16:
- Screen time of the main couple definitely reduced but I appreciate that they weren't trying to drag the plot out by adding love rivals
- The focus of the female lead's career issue (aka the story that she wrote but wasn't given her credit for)
Overall, this is definitely one of the feel-good romance dramas I will rewatch when I need something simple and happy(-:

Simple yet lovely school drama
Highly recommend watching this drama if you are feeling unmotivated and weary.This drama is truly one of those gems that you would be glad you came across. This drama is one of those shows you would enjoy binging because you can easily relate to the emotions and memories.
As a whole, the story is really fun and endearing. No complicated, toxic and overbearing side characters. You can simply enjoy the story and how each of the characters grows. Initially, I found the FL to be a little cringe because of her behaviour but I eventually fell in love with her.
I would also like to compliment the ML for how much his acting has improved from his previous drama to his portrayal here.
THINGS TO LOOK OUT FOR:
- AMAZING FRIENDSHIPS
- portrayal of life (everyone's path is different and that is fine)

Light-hearted drama with fun characters
If you're looking for a romance drama that is not too heavy, I highly recommend this!I first came across this drama on youtube after I finished another drama. I usually decide whether or not I will enjoy the drama within the first episode and I definitely got hooked from the start.
Things I loved:
- The fun characters (I absolutely adored watching the FL and ML+ seeing how well they get along with the people around just added to the joy of watching this drama
- The tracks (When it comes to the OST, some dramas tend to overplay their tracks that it gets annoying but here, I fell in love with the tracks and they are now on my drama OST playlist)
- FL + ML romance (they did not drag out their relationship with the on and off/ will they won't they trope. Even though they added a side character that wanted to "interfere" their relationship, they didn't overplay it with too much drama)
- STRONG FEMALE CHARACTERS (I LOVE LOVE LOVE that the female characters are not downplayed and left to be damsel in distress, as one of the youtube comments mentioned 'Just wait for Chengle to save the day')
Things I disliked:
Heng'er and Zhu Yan's love story. That is it. At the start, I was cheering for their love story but eventually his character got written to be a silly and (for the lack of better words) idiotic prince. He tried to harm the main characters without verifying the truth. While rewatching this drama, I had to skip their story because of how silly it got.
All in all, this is definitely up there in my list for historical chinese romance!
