be patient with the first 3eps, because it's getting good!
maybe you're here because you didn't like the first ep (because I did read some reviews too hehe)I blame it all on my idealistic romance that after the first series, they will get along, smooth sail and sweet things happened in the first eps. *Because it wasn't. That's why I was disappointed at first eps and became annoyed with FL. BUT realizing her point of view, her worries and rants have solid and reasonable ground especially if we put our shoes on the realistic couple and their role bestowed upon them by the crowd and responsibilities. You might get her attitude if you continue watching, especially if you're a woman or someone who can relate to or maybe understand her. And well, we know that Rong has a temper and extreme side.
IF YOU MANIFESTING AND INVESTING MUCH TIME (like I did) to their story. Continue watching because you'll never be disappointed. Ghad! This couple was unbreakable! Their trust and understanding of each other grow beyond any tribulation that I think, struggles and dilemmas become playthings or nothing to them as the series progresses. So if you're worrying about having heartbreaking breakups with these two, I've got your back! Because rest assured that these two are indestructible through thick and thin! For someone who was traumatized by laughing-then-crying series (hehe), this became my savior and hope to live.
There were also new characters that were more complex than the last series. And there was a side character that had a trait of fierce, cool, and confident FL. Her stories may become interesting and can have a separate story but I am kinda hesitant about her partner hehe. Maybe that's how the director team made her character subtle. Oh well, it's still nice nice.
OVERALL, this sequel IS NOT FLOP! It allowed us to see that love grows slowly even after getting a happy ending. Their trust grows fruitful. Petty arguments become nothing as they become sync with each other even with just gestures and eye contact. You'll be more attached to them in this series. Ghad! My favorite part was the last ep. That scene was epic!
So now, go and be patient! Watch it and you'll believe that freakin' love does exist!

Smooth like Butter but with bitter aftertaste
The first thing I liked in this series was how the process was smooth like butter. Nyhaha the confession was simple, the misunderstanding was not that angsty feeling, and they both feel each other (like sync).I want to say much about the main characters but, as someone who is always driven by the 2nd character, his suffering was unbearable! I dunno if this was me, paying attention to 2nd character than ML but I think, FL and 2nd character had more memories than the couple hehe. I found it quite unfair for the 2nd character to do all for the FL but the FL always takes it lightly (not that she intentionally did that, I think that's how it works for a person who is in love--I dunno). I'm forever rooting for 2nd character like this!
Many characters change their personality as the story proceeds. Most of them were annoying at first but became better as the eps ran.
The ending? Net says it's a happy ending. For me, it is not. nyhahha that's the bitter side for me. At the last 5 eps, I can't help but feel annoyed by FL. Annoyed to the situation she only thinks one way because that's the only way. In my perspective, this kind of sacrifice shows selfishness instead of being selfless. It's like, she was blinded by that hope that her life would save everyone and started to disregard the pain and bitter taste it left to people who loved her. That's not a better ending for me. People who were left behind will live in an empty void and the last will cannot prevent that (demanding they should live a happy life and such).
But overall, I like the process they had. The characters were awesome in a way they grew for the worse or for the better.

ML is on my list of fave character!
Ghad! ML was so so so mwah! His character was so interesting. Like how he treats the situations and that phrase "I have a plan" shep! He has both sides which is why I freakin love his character. FL was not annoying. She understood the ML but still did not agree that he was right. Maybe not everyone likes that. That's why, some may not like it. Her resourcefulness and wit were underrated because of how she approached the situations but we can't deny that her wit saved them in things that were trivial and essential. I kinda like how compatible her attitude to the ML. AND DEFINITELY, how they handle each other! I was satisfied with how fast the pace was and it elaborated the topic like "After they fall in love, what's next?". The fast pace gave way to that plot and the confession was smooth... not much annoyance. For a light plot, I love this one. Smooth ride yet there's still a twist or thrill here and there.Was this review helpful to you?

WHY SO GOOD?!
It took me hours to find this awesome series!If you're looking for a duo WHO WORK SIDE BY SIDE IN CHILL MANNER. Then, try this one.
Prod: eye capture scene were the best! The transition was awesome to!
So, I would like to put some notes whenever I want while watching because I'm afraid that there wholesome characters might change as the the eps progress.
Stopping to ep 8: Ghad! One of the best FL when it comes to diverse temper and personality. Not your damsel in distress, she dresses like a man but never denies that she's a woman. She points out clues and reveals threads (using her beloved tool!) to solve each cases. Indeed, it's wholesome from the start because she was an officer with wit, strength, quirkiness, and temper! She is treated fairly and does not point her gender to her capabilities. LOVE FOOD and money! I love her already!
Unexpectedly, ML is competing with FL's complex personality. With his cruel and cold behavior, you can see how deep his vengeance and thirst for revenge and anger even without emphasizing it. His calm demeanor yet dangerous portrays, tells me that this is a bomb. I'm curious how he will turn out.
For the progress of their rs. I like that ML does not give a f to what FL does. (IN a good way). I mean, he let her do her job. Well, maybe because they are still not that attached to each other and the fondness is just blooming, but I kinda respect and like the ML because of that.
Then the 2nd character. I hoped that her best friend but he was not. Why did I wish that? because this is my 1st series in watching cdrama that 2nd character annoyed me much. I'm always rooting for 2nd character and wishing that the writer would not wreck them as their love story with the FL was ill-fated. This 2nd character was gutless and baka. For the first eps, he takes advantage of attachments and feelings and his reasons for everything are lame and flop. But I'm not angry though. If the 2nd character is nah, then I'm free from having sympathy with them and just focus on the main leads!
EP 9- talking about maggots while eating was the best ahahaha
So... I forgot to continue taking notes HAHAHA BECAUSE I enjoyed it a lot!
AT the end, I did not become annoyed with 2nd character. On the contrary, I fond to like him because he realized his idiocy and I realized it's not his fault that he's a dumbass. I liked his rs towards the lead at the end. Side characters were the best too. I loved how her brother has happy ending with well deserved sister yieee.
OVERALL, I like that the ending was so good! like all was resolved!My annoyance towards the villain was well spent. They end up together without angsty feeling that why if I want to revisit series, I'll put this on my list. FL the best personality ever! Well, because she was consistent! Love money, food, and good at fighting! Well, the ML was consistent too because he never changed his demeanor even after falling in love. That's the reality here! He was nice up to start, he just don't have someone he cares about not until Jun Xia!
Ghad, I really love this series!
