Rare feel good Cdrama
Watching was my daily 2 episode happy place: assume best for those thirty and older. A second season is in order as there is a lot of gold to mine as they date and perhaps marry. There was good lead chemistry built on very slow burn and modest enemy to ... trope. I enjoyed all the supporting characters, the filming quality/locations, and the humor. Only change would be to NOT have Xia Xiao Man "like' ML. Since I have only been watching K/C/Taiwan dramas about a year this was my first Wallance Huo and less know but equally entertaining Zhu Zhu. I have to admit I'm still dismayed about C Drama dubbing as occasionally the actual actor/actress does their own voice but know it's rare. It would be nice if every drama had to list the VA's too.Was this review helpful to you?

Favorite Vertical CDrama to date
Have watched about 20 past year and gave up... fell in to this one by accident and disclovered ML. Fell in love with both characters and will also check out FL's other work. Best written by far, and acted, after watching 4 more of his vert's (given unique looks and acting ability. This is the only one of his I'm rating so far as stands out: stories not that unique for C/K dramas but the story details are and for vert., such as how one event changed ML's life course, and there are more supporting characters that usual and they are filled out not bland or charactures. Liked the mutual respect aspect and humor too and that FL had her own life, career, after arranged marriage, and was not years younger waif (exact never shared). Story would be rated higher if had a few flashbacks of one hour pre-wedding meeting and/or initial moving in period.Was this review helpful to you?

Favorite Noona Drama - Followup Movie would be nice
Watched earlier this year and one of the few I have rewatched couple of times (continue to find things I missed). Realize late review as FYS was released in 20/filmed 19. I d'ont get all the negative reviews about Victoria Song's acting nor the 11.5 age difference given the noona story. Nor the lower rating that than "The Rational Life" 8.2 (comments also less negative about the lead, who I like, who is 20 years older in real life and played about 10 years younger). Whereas VS played her own age and Song Wei Long played older but convincingly). I enjoyed the relationship, chemistry, and skinship in FYS... made sense as FL was emotionally much younger than chronogical age). Whereas with TRL low chemistry, family was toxic mother and his likable mom... vs FYS He family (enjoyed her twin though his final GF not believable), and FL didn't have long term friendships like Fan Xing in FYS. The RL had much fewer filming locations, humor, only one family relationship that was toxic, one or two quick kisses, and a happy ending that probably won't last. Not going to happen but would love a FYS sequel movie showing two leads married... PS been using this site for year and finally did first review today :)Was this review helpful to you?
