This is a fast-paced, easy to watch drama with good supporting characters and a cute main couple.

I expected the show to be a bit cliched because of the OCD angle but it's actually not. The backstory behind the ML is interesting and I like how the drama is art-oriented. This is a hate into friendship into love type of show, and the ML is really unlikeable in the beginning. Super rude, controlling, really not a nice person. But there's hope! Later on their relationship is very sweet and he is super supportive, helping her study and just becoming a great friend and they do make a cute couple. A lot happens (this is a 30 episode drama after all) so I feel like you just have to go with the flow and not think too much.

ALSO - If you're watching this, it's important to know that the summary is wrong about her age (or else this was just a huge plot hole on the show's part). It says she's 18 which contextually doesn't make sense, but then halfway in the show they mention she's actually 20. I would save you the confusion if you're like me and need things to make sense.
Also, the mom in this story is actually the *worst*. You have been warned.

There are some obvious plot holes and some sudden things that happen that were confusing / didn't really add to the story, but overall I enjoyed watching the show. I did find the ending a bit lackluster. I feel like it was a bit abrupt and everything just wrapped up so easily but it didn't spoil the show for me.

This is a show with good supporting characters who are fun to watch as well, and I really liked the friendship between Xun Ran and the FL. He just reminded me of a pure innocent puppy, who just happens to be a genius. *shrug*

I take it back about the cliches though. There are still a few, like when she gets a makeover and suddenly noone recognizes her even though she looks the exact same LOL.
