Short and sweet

This is a fun and enjoyable way to spend 4.5 hours. The story was quick and to the point even when Wen Lai (the Boss) was trying to win over Fu Bao (FL). That bit is also kind of hilarious because all of the things he thought she did for him because she likes him (giving him apples and flu medicines) were just misunderstandings, and he actually turned out to not be a douche SML either when given the power to get rid of Li Ming Shi (the Emperor) to get the girl himself.

The best bits about the drama were definitely the relationship developments between Fu Bao and Li Ming Shi, first when he had no one and she was teaching him about the modern world to when they were a lovely couple. So adorably cute too! Li Ming Shi wrote down the lyrics of the song Fu Bao made up and was singing, detailing the things she wanted to do on a date, to do them (getting her a balloon, sharing a cotton candy, making a wish at a fountain) with her. All their scenes were adorable! Lots of chemistry and sweetness!

Also, while her role wasn't big, I really like it that the Second Female Lead (who plays Li Ming Shi's Female Lead in the in-drama that they are filming) was also such a good person and had a good relationship with Fu Bao as well. Wen Lai's assistant was hilarious. I pity him for having to deal with Wen Lai's love-sick self. LOL.

The two villains were there to add plot to the drama, but overall, it remained focused on the love story, which is fine and enjoyable.

I'm extremely happy about the happy ending for the main couple, Li Ming Shi and Fu Bao. The only thing that would make this incredibly enjoyable drama even better would be if there was a little more at the end. I would have also enjoyed an explanation, even something on the same level and handwaving as in-drama logic (not even super detailed thought-out logic), for how that happy end was possible.

Would definitely recommend if you want something quick, sweet, and fun to pass the time.
