Li Chao Chao, the daughter of a nanny, has been secretly in love with Zhou Mu, the young master of her employer's family, for years. However, the social disparity and the disdain of his mother have left her feeling insecure. To be worthy of Zhou Mu, she gave up her passion for comics and transformed herself to meet his standards, but gradually lost herself. With the support of her parents and her good friend Chen Chi, she realized that this relationship was only draining her and resolutely decided to let go. After returning to comics, she found her direction in life and blossomed, discovering the true love that Chen Chi had been silently protecting.

Well-written comedy-drama about self-worth & pursuit of happiness
I saw the poster when this drama was newly released. I thought it was cute but didn't plan on watching it until I saw a poster of a new Li Ke Yi-Wang Pei Yan collaboration today. So I thought "Why not watch Love Yourself More first?" Glad I did because this drama brought a lot of joy!What I liked:
1. FL characterisation - I don't usually like university student FL because they tend to be immature but I liked Li Chao Chao a lot! She is smart & comical and most importantly I saw character growth. Wonderfully played by Li Ke Yi.
2. ML characterisation - What I liked the most about Chen Chi is that he was a good friend to FL. It's great that he listened to his mum's advice about giving FL room to make her own decisions and learn from that experience. This is my first time watching Wang Pei Yan and he excelled in this role.
3. Messaging - I loved that this drama explored a few concepts such as self-worth, pursuit of happiness. You can see these themes experienced by characters other than FL & ML. I liked that there is depth in this light & bright drama.
4. Comedy - I laughed out loud in some scenes. Good blend of comedic and dramatic moments.
5. Romance - Super sweet with some good kisses. Oh it's quite rare to see dramas with FL that has 2 boyfriends at different stages of her life.
6. Supporting characters - I liked FL's parents, FL's bestie. It's great to see SML as a character with substance facing life challenges.
What I disliked:
1. Antagonists - FL's mother was haughty and horrible but she learned her lesson at the end. Even though I didn't like green tea & her mother, I enjoyed their arc because yes in real life there are people who chase status and wealth.
Favourite scene
When FL & ML took a taxi ride
