Amazing 1st half
I’m giving this a high rating for the first 2/3rds of the show and episode 26 (some of the funniest scenes I’ve seen in tv history).Towards middle end I was sooo bored I skipped through most of it. The focus kind of shifted away from their relationship journey into the more political side of the story and it was Zzzz.
But I love Zhao Lusi and will continue to watch anything she is in.

The only good thing is looking at Rowoon
This was my first Rowoon drama and he is definitely nice to look at. I didn’t care for the FL though. Something about her just didn’t seem to fit and I didn’t think they had any chemistry.The storyline was also a bit all over the place. Things that happened in the beginning first episode weren’t even talked about the majority of the drama. And the history part was thrown in at weird times. And then a stalker randomly?
It’s like they tried to do too many things in one drama. They put romance (some parts were a romcom only in the beginning, mystery, thriller, supernatural…) It really needed to be condensed down to a more focused genre and went more in depth into that.
Also, I couldn’t get past the cheating…
All in all I hope Rowoon’s other dramas are better.

My heart is full
I can't even describe into words how this series made my heart feel. It was funny, serious, silly, and heartfelt romantic all at the same time.At first, I didn't know if I would like it because it seemed so cheesy. But about the midpoint I fell in love and couldnt stop watching. By the end of it, it is one of my top rated most beloved series now.

The most adorable couple
I rarely give 10/10 but SmartBoom deserves this. Hands down Boom is the cutest human being ever. Where have you been hiding Boom?!You NEED to watch this series for their love, loyalty, and chemistry. The plot isn't anything special-two actors fall in love. But boy are they IN LOVE. Through thick and thin the most adorable couple ever. They are able to make your heart incredibly happy. But also, I've never seen anything quite like Boom's crying skill. This man will have YOU crying because the depth of emotion to his acting is top notch.
SmartBoom you and MilesApo are my two most beloved couples.

They win the world's cutest couple award
Kinn & Porsche literally are the world's sweetest and hottest couple. I cannot even describe the chemistry between these two. I feel like chemistry isn't even the right word to describe what you see and feel when you watch them. It is a love so deep that we all strive to have.I really REALLY hope we will see these two paired again in lots of dramas. They are truly AMAZING actors who make you feel all the feels in your heart when watching them.
The story was REALLY ridiculous at some points which is why I couldn't give it a full 10. However, I will watch any outrageous plot as long as it has these two in it.

Best romance in a short drama
When he lifted her nose with his I about fell out of my chair with the chemistry sizzling through the screen. This is top romance for a short drama.Despite it having a ton of predictable xianxia tropes it was still definitely worth watching and rewatching.
An added bonus is the ml is one of the hottest I've seen. I will def be watching his other works.

Why is this a stigma?
I'm really confused... This is 2025 so Why is being a single dad a bad thing? And why is a woman choosing to be a step mom a bad thing? Why is he beating himself up so bad like he's a terrible person? None of that storyline made sense..Now onto her. Just.let.him.go Like why does there need to be 50 "break ups"?! All it needed was"Weve grown apart I don't love you anymore let's break up". And OK MAYBE 1 more convo after for closure for the obsessive, overbearing, controlling psycho of an ex who can't let it go. BUT THEN STOP ANSWERING HIS CALLS. OR BLOCK HIM. Like it's simple really...
Lastly, tell me again exactly how they fell in love with each other when they've had exactly 0 dates, 1 hug, and many sad, distraught, rude(from her) conversations. What exactly did he like about her? Every convo she was so rude to him and strung him along and made him feel like the bad guy. My guy you are a walking green flag. You are SUPER hot. Have a great job. A great kind, caring and calm personality. Trust me you can do WAY better than her.

Deng Wei at his finest
Two words. Deng Wei. I vow to watch anything where he is the main character now. His face and acting is perfection. Both him and Julia Xiang both were able to act out separate character personalities flawlessly. By episode 6 I was already crying.I will say, as most Xianxias go, the middle was really draggy filler material. I skipped a lot. However the cast, acting, storyline, and OST are still what makes me give this a high rating.

Actually laugh out loud hilarious
There were so many moments where I was laughing out loud so hard. Most of the time in dramas I'm obly interested in the main romance plot. But oh my, these side group of guys just made the whole show along with ML's hilarious acting and good looks.It starts off SUPER cheesy but keep watching and give it a couple of episodes and I promise it gets soo cute with the romance and will have you laughing falling out of your chair.

A romcom at its finest
I LOVED this show. Lee Hye -ri is an AMAZING actress. For her to stay in character and not break it to laugh at herself is a true feat. Some of the stuff and expressions she did had me rolling. She is a very versatile actress too. Can be hilarious when she needs to be but serious too.And let’s talk about Jang Ki-yong. He is dreamy with a smile that melts you to your core. Really, if he was in a show and all he did was smile I would still watch it.
This romcom was done right.

A mature romance
If this was just about the love story I would have given it a 10 because the ML is sooo cute in his mannerisms once he falls for her. The chemistry is amazing between these two. I love that they had a mature relationship based on communicating and there weren’t toxic fights or anything. However, the majority was about business and their jobs and I skipped through alll of it because it was so boring to me.Was this review helpful to you?
This will make you feel all of the feels
This is one of my rare top 10’s for sure.There are some people who have a problem with the age gap, but if I were 19 and a man that looked like Gong Yu showed up you better believe I’d be throwing everything out the window and say take me now yes I love you when can we get married.
Although I didn’t ABSOLUTELY love the ending, this masterpiece of a show will forever live in my heart.

Not the most memorable
I watched this because I am on a Ji Chang Wook binge. However this was not his best show in my opinion. I mean don’t get me wrong his acting skills are PHENOMINAL in anything he does. But I think what was so boring about this show was the writing. It was very slow paced. Also, ji chang wook KNOWS how to create chemistry with a fl…however the writing and story here was so bad that not even ji chang wooks perfect face and kissing skills could save this show.Was this review helpful to you?
She was how old?!?
WAIT WAIT WAIT…Was he in love with a 15 year old?!?!I wanted to give this a 10 so bad because it had Healer vibes to me. But there were some major things that I could not get past. 1st being that he was in love with a 15 year old?!? Like why did she need to be that young? The producers really just couldn’t make her 3 years older? You could have had the same story without the ick. Also the best friend who was into the underage HIGH SCHOOL brother?!? I’m really confused here..
Also I was not happy with the ending.

I ugly cried
I have never ugly cried for a straight 30 minutes in my life over a show. This changed that.But to the point. The first 9 episodes were amazing and honestly this show could have probably been wrapped up in 10-12 episodes. The repetition from episodes 10-15 has you saying, “really? We’re going through this again?” There was just too much that wasn’t needed in order to still have a great story. Episodes 16 was still very much needed though. Holy moly….
Lee Jong Suk is dreamy to watch…but they didn’t give his character much dimension in the emotions department. Scenes where you thought he should be crying he just…didn’t? And scenes where he could have used more laughter he just…didn’t? I don’t know really got to describe it but his emotions and character just didn’t seem to line up with how you would expect him to act in certain situations in order to further the deep romantic connection we are supposed to believe the ml and fl have.
My high-ish rating is solely based on the first 1-9 episodes for story development and then including the last episode 16 for the emotional experience I never knew I could have during a show.
