It’s only secret because they’re stupid about it (for the most part)

This was a good series. As my first Taiwanese drama, it made a solid first impression.

Many might think it’s a cheap version of the childhood friends-to-lovers trope due to its pacing and somewhat clunky start. However, that’s what I liked about it – some friendships are just unique!

A Tuo has been in love with his best friend since, like, the first grade, so it’s understandable that he would be so intense about it. I appreciated the fast-paced nature of the series, even amidst the chaos, because sometimes life is just like that. Were A Tuo’s actions a bit questionable? 100%! But we can forgive him, especially since Jun Xi does.

The storyline involving Lu Yu Shu and the rest of the Lu family was a strong point in the plot. Family dynamics can be complicated, and I enjoyed the opportunity to explore the challenges they faced.

Lin Xiao Yang and He You Mei were the absolute highlights! I loved their romance (ish) and their general personalities.

Overall, it’s a good series and definitely worth watching; even if just for the romance, as there isn’t much in terms of complex plotlines.
