it's your loss if you don't watch this. a drama I can't imagine anyone not liking.

I never write reviews. This would be my very first one.

I usually seek lighthearted, rom-com, interesting plot, hot leads, good chemistry.

This drama made me cry in the best way possible. Don't be alarmed, it's not heavy or moody. It's not overly preachy or too realistic/slice-of-life that leaves you feeling to exposed after watching, questioning your own life.
It's a fun yet truly meaningful story that perfectly balances the romantic plot, friendship development, aswell as wholesome and deeply meaningful messages about family and filial piety. It has plot though, there are moments of suspense and a well paced, well fleshed out arc.
I binged the entire thing in one sitting. No 2x or 3x haha. It felt like such an easy watch, natural and exiting.

I can truly feel how much the entire team (director, writer, actors, music, lighting, etc.) love and enjoyed working on this piece.
To the entire crew, thank you!

As someone whose watched over 200 dramas. I honestly don't think there is ever a "perfect" piece of work. In one sense, because art is subjective. In another sense, a drama could score 10/10 across cinematography and storytelling but you may not connect with it or really enjoy it. In this regard, I truly can't encourage you enough to watch this drama, because I hope you too feel the warm and joyous connection I felt in connection to this drama.

Lastly, I must highlight - Zhang Chi.
Wow. One of my fav actors in all of chinese dramaland forever now. I've seen mutliple of his works and can confidently say he takes acting seriously. He chooses and nicely delivers diverse and genuinly interesting scripts and characters. Great chemistry w his co-stars. He's a gorgeous person to look at and I am so hopeful for his future career. Wishing him all the best and support!
