It's love at first sight, then lets grow in love and life!?
When I started this it had just finished airing, usually I would check out the comment section first, but since i had nothing else i wanted to watch I just started this one, TBH after the first few episodes, I really didn't think I would love this, but lo and behold!.. I ended up loving it so much. I started wondering why it was this nice🤣, even at the 20 episode mark, I was nervous to continue because I thought it'll just die down, and get all dramatic etc, but nope.. it kept getting better, it ended up not being a show with a bunch of cliché.I find the first few episodes a little slow, but I guess it's because we didn't know the characters well enough, as yet but as it continued, I started enjoying the snow theme setting, the filming abroad, it was a nice change and the sport they played was interesting. It was nice seeing the life of the ML as well,
At the beginning the ML's eyes said "I want her" and the FL's eyes said "I want you too, but I'm scared and nervous" haha it was a little funny and cute. Once they got together, it was really nice seeing how their romance, relationships and career took off. I felt like I was really watching a story of their life unfold.
The acting of the leads and everyone was well done, it's my first time seeing the FL, she did so well and she's so young in real life, she did a great job with her role, Leo also did great, the other shows I've seen him in had light/slow burn romance, this is the first I'm watching a show of his with romance like this, it was awkward at first, but then it was great seeing him in love. The FL older brother/cousin, WXY, this guy has grown sooo much in his acting, who on earth would believe he's only 21 in real life, he impressed me with his role here, he acted so mature, though him and the FL are the same age in real life, you never saw that in the show, he really did come off as her older brother/cousin and the head of their sports club.
As for our main couple I absolutely loved them, their chemistry, kisses and relationship was soo sweet and felt so real. I loved seeing how they grew in love, usually at some point in a 30 episode modern drama the romance tend to die down, when it starts early or once the leads get together, but instead they just grew so naturally in love, and as they grow in love, it shaped their life and it was beautiful to watch.
I also really enjoyed the relationship between the ML and his two buddy/rivals, they had such a special bond and relationship, not only them, but the ML former club member, they loved and looked up to him so much (but i don't think anyone admired him as much as the FL older brother haha)
If you're looking for something light, with a different setting (overseas and snow/winter), interesting sport, sweet romance, and a great second chance/comeback, I think you'll like it, also if you liked how low angsty LMLMV was then this has a similar vibe. It's such an easy drama to sit back, relax and enjoy, even the sports element of the show was interesting to watch.
The music was the only part that was just okay, but I guess it fit the theme of the show.
This gets my first 10/10 for a full length drama of 2024! 🥰

The romance was sweet!.
Just finished this, and it's one of the first time where i didn't dislike the separation, because it made them both better after, it was also really nice to see a ML actually changed after a separation, and the way he apologized was sweet, you could definitely tell he learnt a great deal of lessons. They went from not having much flirty scenes or chemistry, and the episode they went to Germany, the ost, and the chemistry and flirty was kicked up at a whole new level, there chemistry was amazing, and there kisses too, they looked genuinely deeply in love, the acting from both leads were great as well. I enjoyed all the business stuff, usually I'm not a huge fan of the genre, but I liked it. There were terrible characters, as well as great ones. This is definitely one of the best Modern Mature Romance Chinese Drama I've watched, Really enjoyed the romance and character developments, and maturity they both came back with after the separation. :)The acting was pretty great for both leads, it was believable when they fell in love, with there words, expressions and actions, and when they were arguing it was soo intense, i don't think I've ever seen Xu Kai acted in a scene like that, it was like a real couple fighting, so it was very realistic.
My least favourite character was that one, i'll throw-up in my mouth if i call her a friend haha... I'm really happy she was technically kicked out of there friendship, though it wasn't said but evident with the 3 having there own group chat and they don't talk to her anymore, i get how she felt and who cares what she wanted to do, but saying stuff like she don't regret what she did, just shows what a terrible friend she was.
Zeng Di was super annoying, but i'm happy the FL handled her well, and I love how the ML made her know that he had 0 interest in her and she wasn't even an option.. dang!! that was brutal, but i loved it!!. He also apart from eating dinner/lunch with her as a friend and business partner, he had boundaries with her. She also got what she deserves at the end, so that put a nice smile on my face.
There were other side couples, I find myself being interested in side couples lately, usually i'd skip them in whatever drama i watch, but i did like the different typed of couples in this, Li Li romance was very interested and i was well invested to see how it'll turn out, as well as the streamer bestie, the ML's little uncle and his grandaunt.. there combo was cute and hilarious!!. There was another couple, you'll see if you watch, just skip them! hahaha
What i enjoyed with this is that when the FL broke up with the ex-boyfriend, there wasn't any flirting etc between her and the ML, though we knew from day one how the ML felt, he never rushed or pushed her, but once they went to Germany, the chemistry went from 0-100 and it started getting sweeeet, it was soo cute, sometimes they didn't have to say anything, the look in there eyes were enough. Then it went from 100-1000 real quick hahahaha, it was event that the ML was meant for the FL and visa versa, usually in some of these with an ex-boyfriend who break up during the show, it's a little hard, but it wasn't here, it was evident that it was love, everything she did was different from with the ex.
Anyways, I think I said too much. This was another drama that I almost put on the side because of some comments I read, please don't miss out on shows you're interested in because of comments, we all have different taste and different way of seeing things, what i wrote here is from my perspective watching, you may or may not like it, but you'll know because you know what you like, if this sounds like something you'll like then go for it, if not, then don't, it's entirely up to you.
Happy Drama Watching! :)

He needed her, and she needed him. ?
As someone who doesn't really like school drama's, I prefer mature romance. Though I have seen a few, they're not my go too. I was very reluctant to watch this, but i figured after watching Hidden Love, (which I wanted to watch since i knew the manhua would become a tv series). I figured its the best time to watch this school drama... so i hope my review helps those who may not be so interested in school shows. When I first started this, after the 2nd episode i wasnt sure if i should drop this, not because it wasn't going well thus far, its precisely because of not watching much drama in this genre, but because i already decided to watch it, i didn't read much comments and i didnt read any reviews, i went in blindly solely because i had planned to watch it, and the ratings was pretty high for a school drama... so i wanted to give it a chance 😄 and well!!!!!!!!....................This was simply amazing!!!... Everytime i think something cliché was gonna happen, instead it just exceeded my expectations. It's the first I thought a show deserves 11/10 🤭.
I've watched hundreds of shows and just a tiny few make me feel content after watching, but this show... i feel soooo happy, content and satisfied after watching this 😌☺️ ......................... yet, somehow I just wanna rewatch it right away haha 😄 😂
I give 9 for music, because since it started from 2012 through the music i can feel so much nostalgia, it wasn't something amazingly great, but all the songs fit the show very well.
What I loved about this show was that It was great having a FL be enthusiastic and foward without coming off as annoying, or (dumb, the acting felt so natural from the FL, i thought she was adorable 😄. It was also really great having a ML who was aloof without being a mean jerk 😅. Even the side chracters are so likeable and you enjoy there stories too.
I enjoyed the progress of the love story, from acquaintance, to classmates, then lovers. The timing for everything was well put together, even if it may not feel that way after you're hakfway through, just know it comes together so well and nothing, absolutely nothing was rushed. It was also really great seeing the interactions with the main couple from school until the end, they just fit so well together. The frienship was soooo amazingly beautiful, like it made me feel sooo nostalgic, i felt like i wanted to go back to school to make friends like that 😄
But most of all, I really enjoyed seeing how the FL with a beautiful personality and genuine care and love became a bulldozer and broke down the ML walls. I also loved how the ML made the FL wanna always try her best and be herself. He needed her and she needed him!. Whether in academic or in love.... they were truly what i call soul mates!!!!

Amazing chemistry, best relationship ever!
I really enjoyed there chemistry together, it was soo refreshing to watch, usually there is break ups in these genre drama but im so happy with the healthy relationship between the couple, and the love and respect they showed each other. I loved how from epsiode one you could tell the ML liked the FL, i loved how he always go so defensive when someone hurts her, he values her opinion, and respects her decisions and she does the exact same for.him. even before they made there relationship official it was already official to me hahaha. Cause from the time she realize he isn't cunning they already was bonding, well maybe vefore that because they're well known around the world and seem to always end up being at the same place at the same time (well ML always follows FL) and he always keep tabs on her and protect her. Episode 7?! was awesome the way he told the men they'll pay for the scratch they left on her body oh my goodness sweetness overload 😍🤭 And thats wayyyyy before they got together. They already had such a bond, they knew each others thoughts, I just love there realtionship.The story was pretty good, i enjoyed it and was engaged from fhe beggining to the end. I usually don't watch wuxia, although i do watch xianxia, but anything with romance in it I'll watch, but the fighting in this show was amazing to watch.
Yangyang looked sooo charismatic in this show whether as the prince or the martial artists, out of everything I've seen him in, this role for me had more depth and i feel like i was able to see a new level of acting from him.
Lu si was amazing, she was careful but not her usual comedic role, instead it was more so sophisticated and smart. Loved her acting, she's getting so diverse in her acting.
Would definitely want to see them together again, they had amazing chemistry and a topnotch relationship. Power couple to the finest. Just amazing, how they communicated and respected each other in every identity they carried, whether prince/princess or martial artist. So there was no conflict they couldnt solve because they spoke to each other, communicated and shared each other burdens. Role model type of couple.
Would definitely reccomend this drama.

Beautiful, inspiring story and romance
What can I say, to be honest, I've been in a some what of a drama slump lately, nothing I watched was good, i kept dropping drama's it's been maybe 2 or so months since i last watched a good drama, apart from Fall in love, i thought that was actually really good too.Anyways, I haven't wrote a review in a few months and i felt like i had to write one for this drama, so as i mentioned about not feeling drama's lately, this drama brought back the feelings i had when i first started watching Cdrama, it give me butterflies, the romance and relationship between the leads was soo wonderful, they had such a great healthy mature relationship and was committed to each other in spite of and and everything they went through, the way they encouraged each other and stuck by each other was amazing, even when they were just friends, they did that and it made this drama so special.
Another thing that made this drama special was the sports, and the will to fight for what you want, working hard, even when there was set back, and to even learn to forgive, to be humble and trust your team mates, the story for this drama is really good, the pacing was good enough for me as well, nothing seemed rush. The competitions scenes were amazing to watch, so intense i felt like i was watching a real live event, so nervous haha
The ML and FL acting was great, I felt all there emotions when they were happy, sad or depressed they did such a great job portraying there roles, and there chemistry it was amazing, there was one scenes where they were consoling each other and i just felt the love between them, so natural without being boring at all. they have one of the best relationship I've seen in drama history, of course there is other healthy mature relationships too like (You are my glory), this is also one of them too in my opinion. And there kisses, especially the last one, happy it wasn't no peck lool. I was already impress with the ML as he was in forever love, and then this master piece again, i will definitely be looking forward to more of his work
I also loved loved loved the osts they were just perfect for each scenes and moments, the lyrics and the voices of the singers was perfect for the drama.
the last time i enjoyed a drama this good was YAMG haha, another favorite couple and drama to add to my list.
I'm sooo happy as you could tell, i thought i would be leaving the year in that drama slump i was in, but this drama definitely brought about a huge change for me.
I definitely recommend this drama if you love romcom, and i hope you love it just as much as i did. ❤😊

For a short drama.. it was great
I loved this... I just wanted a filler to watch, and this was short, sweet, funny, cute.. so much more.If you're into sappy romance and cute couples, and you also just need something to watch late for a few hours or to kill time, then this is your show.
There is no conflict, no family issues, no misunderstandings that take forever to clear up, its just a really nice story about 2 strangers who got married from an app.. then fall in love and made it work. lool i know, it sounds crazy, but it worked.. they really made it work. It may not be as realistic, but that's okay.. majority of the time we watch these sappy love story for there unbelievable storyline.
Give it a try... it short and sweet 🤗☺

How an actress playing twins should be!?
I really enjoy watching short length series, especially after watching a regular show and idk what to watch, or it was too angsty.This was pretty nice, the story was simple, it had nice pacing and the leads had a sweet chemistry. They had nice kisses and looked great together.
The actress who played both roles did an excellent job, this is how it should be when one actress is playing twins, it was soo believable which made this even better. At one point when they switched, I kept having to remind myself its one actress 😄
The ML also did a great job as a blind person. I just love his calm demeanor.
This is definitely one of the decent short length series, it was really easy to watch.

Great Feel-Good Drama
I haven't written a review in almost a year, but I just felt like this is one of those drama's that left an impression on me, soI decided I'll write one.
I wasn't sure what to expect when I started this, and it's been years since I started a drama that was still premiering, but I ended up starting this anyways because it was in my list and the comments said they were sweet, so i dived in. I am not disappointed at all, the story was nice, the acting was great, their chemistry was definitely there and they just honestly looked like a great couple, they developed from enemies, friend to lover, and had so much love and respect for each other.
The OSTs was very good, it tied everything together so well, it definitely played a huge part from my perspective, I've even added them to my "Songs from drama list" and only songs that touch me end up in that list.
If you're hesitant, you love feel-good shows, with no break up, a healthy couple, that loves and respect each other, no angst but has the right amount of friction, then give this a try, for me it doesn't matter how low or high something is rated, it all depends on my mood and if I'm interested. So just apiece of advice, no matter what you read about a show good or bad, never go in with high or low expectations, try to watch with a neutral level, so you can form your own opinion on a show, tht way you either love it or hate it on your own.
This show isn't some kind of outstanding masterpiece, but for romance lovers, it's a really great feel-good drama, that had great chemistry and love, so I rate based on what I saw and how I felt when watching and while it ended.

The chemistry and story was amazing.
This was so much better than I could have expected. I was so captivated, interested from the first episode to the last. I haven't watched a drama like that in so long. Every episode was interesting, it truly felt like i was finally watching something new. I got to 33 episodes without realizing it, like this is new for me. I usually don't like lengthy modern drama, but i could have watched some more of this show. It was very well written, the acting was great, the chemistry was on point, the couple was just perfect together. Everything was wrapped up well. Not much angsty scenes at all. It truly is probably the best of my 2022 so far.What I also liked about this show is the leads, when they were in law school and after, the way they were emerged in their roles was very interesting to see, the legal terms and everything they said pertaining to the law, they did a great job, they definitely came of as they knew what hey were talking about, many times you watch a law show or doctor and it somehow doesn't get integrated well, but this show the actors, romance and story was well written and put together. Even the story of second leads, i usually don't go for second couple but everything was interesting and well written. I will definitely miss this show and i usually never say stuff like that.
Maybe because my expectations was quite low, but i usually don't go into shows with a high expectations, this one definitely supercede what i thought it would be like. Thumbs up 👍 👌 👏 ❤
Edit:
I forgot to mention that the SML Li Chong Wen the actor Garvey Jin, I've seen him in second lead roles and lead roles, in my opinion this was his best role yet and his acting didn't make me cringe at all. Thought he needed a S/O 😁

Wonderful Drama
This drama was really wonderful, it has literally everything you need.After watching ashes of love and Eternal love (TMOPB).. I neber thought I'd find another wonderful fantasy that can be in the list with those two, but this for sure has made the cut.
The acting was phenomenal, there was no bad actors, every person convinced me of there roles. My favourite was the ML, he's the best ML Ever, he wss soo innocnet in every sense, he loved the FL soo much.
The story was very good, the suspense and all the things we find out as i journey through this series was worth it. What i loved the most was the love story, the ML loved this woman for 10 lifetimes and you feel so much compassion for him that you may just cry. The FL also love him a lot, they both went through a lot and deserved happiness.
I would definitely recommend this drama, it was a pleasure to watch, you would love the leads and you would hate the villains, every actor did a great job with there chacarter, they made you really love or hate them. You'll also love a lot of the side chacaters, some of the stories were so sad, it really brought this all together wonderfully.

I really wouldnt say its full of the typical korean cliches, the female lead was amazing, i loved her personality, she wasn't annoying or anything, the comedy in this was just awesome, i laughed sooooooo much and so hard, it was great!
I loved the drama, the romance, the comedy and when everything was resolved i loved that too lool as well.
The male leads mom, i felt so much compassion for her character, she did a phenomenal job in her role, her growth and story, was amazing to watch and see to the end.
I reccomend this drama, it has the right balance of everything, and you'll love the Leads interactions, they're hilarious and too sweet.

Great watch
This was really good, at first i I wasn't sure regarding the first 2 episodes, but as it progressed i just loved the romance and kindness of the MC, the supporting casts was also really good as well.I love this plot and story, it was really nice and the humor was great, it was such a beautiful heartfelt ending, the build up was perfect!!
If you're hesitant, don't be... it's a really nice short romance, with comedy and a great cast selection. The monk character you'll grow to adore him... so sweet and the FL is just soo beautiful

Loving you, is the best thing I've even done!
Wow, I never thought i would have enjoyed this as much as I did! 😲.. the acting from the ML was soooo well done, he brought so much life to his character, the FL as well, and they just looked like they were soooo in love, the way they kissed, hugged, stared and held each other was crazy!! I was grinning from ear to ear in sooo many episode, and i left feeling soo much, I was lucky I wasn't around other they might have thought i was crazh rhe way i was squealing sometimes. The washroom kiss and then that car kiss? 👀 the MLs lips were so pink and his ears was red, like how'd that pass censorship? 😳🤭 i remembered watching that clip last year and was hoping it would pass and it did 🤭..This was really well done, I just loved that the romance wasn't rushed and it took time for the FL to heal, and I love that the ML wasn't the usual aloof ML, he had "personality" .. the parents were awesome too, in the later episodes the way they comforted each other like a real couple was sooo cute, and the FL friends were great, they were so wholesome!. 10/10 for me!!.. this will be added to.my rewatch list! 😊 🤭
How could I forget the wedding!!.. I liked how personal it was, the man in the suit and apron haha, and all there photos and all the flowers since the FL loved flowers, was a really nice touch. We got to see so many people who were there during their journey all happy, and seeing their guest having a great time at a wedding was the first for me since watching drama over a decade ago, they really did put a lot into that, and the ceremony was so beautiful! 🤭
Thats what i liked about this show, it felt like you were watching a journey from the FL needing healing physical and emotional, and from strangers to doctor and patient, to acquaintances, to friends, to being each other crush, and falling in love and becoming soul mates. The journey was wonderful to watch, apart from the ex, there wasn't another else toxic, the leads loved and respected ach other, apologize when they were wrong, I've been watching ZLH shows since his debut maiden holmes, sparkle love etc, he has grown soo much, he was always a great actor from since then but seeing him in this role has made me like him even more and I'm looking forward to his future works. Same for the FL.
I hope if you like this type of show you'll give it a chance and see how you feel about it, happy drama watching! 😊

Excellent Cast and Wonderful Story
This was a great drama, I love my Cdrama for historical and xianxia, this one was really great. At first i was hesitant to watch it, i thought it would have too much fighting and scheming and not enough romance and balance for the plot, but i was wrong and I'm happy I give it a chance.Pros
The cast was wonderful, every person fit there role and delivered respectively, Reba came out and did her stuff, truly and amazing and talented actress, Leo this is my first drama with him and tbh I'm impressed, especially knowing that he's only 21 my goodness he did an excellent job, definitely gained a fan here. I'm also very impressed with my girl rosy, she came through, i could not believe it was her, this is such a different role that she took on, and my goodness, she did an excellent job with this role, she was so much into her emotions, I'm so happy she choose this role and did something different from her usual.
The story was great, the flow and everything was pretty good, I also love the different arc, i love that it wasn't done in just one place like the usual palace historical drama, but they went to so many different places and encounter so many different people, friends, and so on. it was great, perfect balance. The plot was great, it had a really good balance with everything that was going on, enough suspense, romance, war/fighting. I don't think i found any annoyance in the plot itself at all. There were some very very sad scenes that i probably would have cried about but did get teary eyed for, got my emotions worked up, the story was well put together and balance
The ost, it's my first to give a 10 for a Cdrama ost, the beginning song was amazing, and the ending song, definitely adding that to my playlist, i already went to YouTube to listen to it while on my spare time, that's how catchy, emotional and good it is.
The relationship, well every relationship in this drama lets just say whether family, friend, foe... the cast and writers did an excellent job, you can feel all the emotions between each person. The romantic relationships, i shipped everybody lool, I love all the relationships that was form, the main couple had excellent chemistry, i loved there stranger to friend to lovers =, it was great being on that journey and seeing how they developed their relationship. The second couple, at first i didn't really care for it, but then i felt soo happy for them and i loved there relationship. Both couple had some amazing romantic growth and i loved that.
This part is my favorite part, character development, the MFL Reba/Changge had amazing character development in this, seeing how she was from the beginning to the end it was great seeing how much she matured, even with her relationship with the MML Leo, they never had any foolish misunderstanding, and they were so genuine. Rosy/Leyan she had amazing growth as well, from being a timid girl to being so brave, going through what she did really changed her for the better. The MML Leo/ Ashile Sun I'm not sure if i should say he had character development, he was pretty awesome and remain awesome, loyal and sweet from beginning to the end, i guess the only change would be what he did and then what he wanted to do if that makes sense. SML he had great growth too, i liked his growth it was weird but cute lool.
The Costumes were all fantastic, my favorite were Ashile Sun war outfit, hmm hmm hmm... hahaha, and the Ashile Tribe long hair with braids, it looked soo good, didn't look out of place or too rugged, it worked 100% hahahaha
Cons?! Preference
There is only two cons personally, one is that they blurred the kissing scenes, not a deal breaker or a big deal, so that's why i probably shouldn't even say its a con because with or without it i loved the couples.
The other thing was i kind of wish some scenes that were animated weren't some of them worked and bended in with the real scenes perfectly, but other times there were just a few i wish weren't, but again not a deal breaker or anything just personal preference.
So that's it, i know it's long but it is my honest review after watching this drama, the story, acting, plot, ost i loved them all and have no regrets watching this, Gonna miss Ashile Sun with his tribal hair and clothes... ohhh sooooo cute hahaha

From strangers, to enemies, to confidante, to friends and then to lovers <3
I'm re-watching this for the second time, after watching so many of those YouTube vertically filmed shows that are soooooooo heavy with drama, i needed some sweetness, and this was a perfect choice to re-watch. I think I'm also enjoying it more the second time around.They have such great chemistry, and there romance is soo sweet. I love how they went from strangers, to enemies, to confidante, to friends and then lovers, and i love how there wasn't any issue transitioning into lovers from friends, which i find does have some issues in other dramas that has a similar friends to lovers trope. They are so sweet and affectionate, they make you smile and blush.
PS. I've seen enough to not care about the logic behind the FL's powers haha, so dash that out of an open window, and just enjoy a sweet couple, nothing to be taken seriously, truly a fluffy show to watch
