Happily Married Couples DO Make for Great TV
This special is proof that watching a happily married/committed couple CAN be entertaining to watch. I LOVED watching them being settled in their love for each other and that their relationship is going strong. Watching them handle issues together, watching them fight and then makeup, watching him be such a supportive husband...it was such a great watch.***MINOR SPOILER*****
I was not bothered that it included COVID but that could be because I watched this in 2026 and in 2021 when this came out. While it did make me sad watching how they worked through that, it once again proved what a solid couple they are and I was sad for them but I knew they would make it through.
I ADORED this special

If Cotton Candy Was a Show
If cotton candy was a tv show, this would be it.I mostly enjoyed it but I disliked that the 2 couples didn't get equal time in the story. There is still firmly a Main Couple and a Secondary Couple and with a title like this, it should have given the couples equal time.
Tian Xi Wei has become my favorite actress and she is a good enough reason to watch this. If you want a sweet, and easy , don't want to think too much story, this will work.

Funny and Unexpectedly Deep
Akane is a manga artist and writer who was has been assigned her first Teen Love manga. The problem is she has no romantic experience of her own. She also needs a new place to live. She strikes a deal a guy she meets in her favorite cafe where he will be her muse or reference material is the term they use and live together, eventually entering a FWB relationship, you know, for research purposes.😉🤭I loved the progression of their relationship, except for thst one hiccup towards the end with the inevitable quasi 3rd Act Break Up.🙄
But from the start the ML is super supportive of Akane's nearly one track mind when it comes to her writing, even if there were sometimes I was annoyed by it on his behalf.😄
It was funny and sometomes sad and I enjoyed it very much

Fast Paced
I wish both main charecters were fleshed out more. I'm unclear when either one of them started liking each other.I think it needed to be longer or drop that subplot towards the end. I think FL feeling guilty about using him was enough conflict without having to have the competition.
The cousin thing was weird-I had look it up and learned that that is normal in Japan.
I was a great plot idea that needed more breathing room.
Do Me When You Come Home was kind of the same storyline, except with adults and the ML offered and was in the know about being her romance reference. I liked that story better.

I've Got All My Sisters With Me
Four (well kind of six) love stories in one show. I did enjoy all the love stories in varying degrees. But 4th sister was my favorite.It was funny and sweet. I loved all the sisters together and how they supported each other and looked out for each other. I missed them when they would fade into the background when their love story was not the focus.
There's a very Pride & Prejudice flavor to the show which is what hooked me in the first place.
A very enjoyable middle of the road story that is perfect as an introduction to c-dramas

Short and Sweet
Another short story, insta love series. I like these types of series between the longer, drawn out dramas. Insta love stories work for me when the couple is fun to watch and this couple fit that for me. I like that Momoko just sees the best of people. It comes across as naive but she knows what she wants and will ask for it and is comfortable with herself (unlike the FL in C&V.) Not much really happens, it just a slice of life story with this couple, being a couple, while hiding their relationship at work. Cute story, worth the watch.Was this review helpful to you?
Gamer Girls DO exist
I adored the premise of the story. This was my first modern c-drama, I've mostly watched historical ones, and this was an awesome starting point. It wasn’t perfect; the FL confused me. When she was chatting in game or on the phone with Xiao Nai, she would be flirty and teasing with him. But when he was standing in front of her, she nearly made me think she didn't actually like her. Loved her BFF, Er Xi. All the friend groups were great. It was cute how Xiao Nai friends accepted Bei Wei Wei right away. Cute story, highly recommend.Was this review helpful to you?
Bored
The series was mostly plotless with a series of events strung together. Usually this wouldn't bother me if thr couple were had chemistry and were fun to watch. They were not that. I have no idea what they saw in each other. The FL had no backbone at all. There is a difference between being shy and having no self-worth. Episode 6 pissed me off the most-I don't know who I was angry at the most, the FL, her supposed BFF, or the ML to agreeing. I had to fast forward the final episode because I was so annoyed at how the previous episode ended but I'm a completionist and needed to know how it ended. Did not enjoy this at all.Was this review helpful to you?
So Cute!
I really enjoyed this show. It did make me wish it was longer. It's an insta-love story which I do really enjoy in-between my slow burn dramas. But I do think it would have benefited from having at least one episode between when they met and Ami deciding she wanted to pursue a real relationship. And I don't think they gave a good reason for keeping the marriage a secret at work; it seemed to just be a story point to cause unnecessary...conflict is the closest word to describe it. But they were such a cute couple that I didn't mind. I LOVED this show.❤️Was this review helpful to you?
Love Story
I just really loved this show. I laughed, I cried and just really enjoyed the whole experience. I appreciated that they did not shy away from the age gap discussion and it was considered as possible deterrent but they way it was navigated really works.I just loved Sang Zhi. I laughed with her, I cried with her, I felt the intensity of her feelings. Two thumbs up to Zhao Lu Si. Duan Jiaxu & Sang Yan friendship was another relationship I really enjoyed watching. Chen Zhe Yuan & Victer Ma were also great portraying that.
As much as I love, and I do LOVE the relationship between Sang Zhi & Duan Jiaxu I think the sibling relationship between Sang Zhi and her brother Sang Yan might actually be my favorite. They really felt liked siblings. They nag each other and tease each other and even fight but when it counts, Sang Yan was always there for her and she never ever doubted it. No one would question their love for each other.
I also liked the side characters that made up the leads friend groups.
It was a really beautiful, funny, lovely show and I enjoyed it so much.
