Since the first episode, Lu Yang's dorky charm caught me in an instant. And to see him grow from being that pathetic boy who chases the girl he likes whenever he can ( also has the tendency to be scammed most of the time) to a boy who knows his repercussions of his situation, and a damn cute husband. I love seeing actual growth. Though it was not much, I loved rooting for him anyway. It was a bit satisfactory on my part.


Same goes for Jing Xiao, who is a queen, by the way. She was tough, yet at the same time has her own inner vulnerabilities. She was loyal to Xiao Xie from the very start which makes her all the more endearing. I particularly loved that one scene in the later episodes where she sat in the cinema and recalled her memories with both her crush and Lu Yang. It was so damn good, I was screaming. I loved it. 

These two became the lead couple for me. Not to trash on the actual leads, there were alright too. But the way the show builds up whatever they have, as well as why they ended up together in the first place was definitely something I don't really give a care for... at least their height difference was cute!

It might just be for me, but this show took so much time to build up. I watch a lot of stuff. I'm not new to how things go. I have watched shows with around 50+ episodes, and yet this one felt too long for me to even finish. It could be that I have no interest in the main focus of the show, I'm too old(I hope not!) for this kind of story, or the show just loves giving you filler after filler only to explode fan service at the very last episode.

I have more to say, but I don't want to go full-on harsh on my first Asian series review for this year. So I'll just keep mum on some matters. One thing is for sure, shows like this just give me all the more reason to binge watch stuff rather than watch them as it airs. 

In the end, this series showcased a precious bond found in friendship. It was the undeniable genuine beating heart of the show.  It was still fluffy and adorable - I'll give it that. I could see why people rave about it, but it wasn't really the kind of show for me at this point in time. Despite how unbearable the experience was, I still enjoyed MOST of it. Emphasis on the word most.
