Promotes incest and grooming
Sorry, everyone loves their dynamic but Esther’s character acts and behaves like a child. Her brother is an adult and enjoys her infantile behaviour. It is truly awful and I do not understand how people are obsessed with their “chemistry”. Why do we have to promote this type of attitude. It’s not ok even if the actress is 30, she’s playing to someone who sexualises children. Just revolting.Was this review helpful to you?
Don't believe all the bad reviews
If I'd just relied on the reviews I would never have watched this. I am so glad I gave it a chance as I loved it. I watched it on Viki and read a lot of the ongoing comments, and the commenters loved it as well. It can be a bit dragged out in some places but I still enjoyed it. The female friendship group was beautiful. Some are complaining that the ML doesn't play well as a carefree photographer - they never portrayed him as carefree - anything but.FL does play serious roles but she does it well.

A fun light romantic "comedy"
I really enjoyed this. I know a lot of reviewers said it was awful and degrading to women; I don't agree. I loved the ML accepting the FL's "mishaps" and I think they evolved well throughout the show. I love the FL and haven't seen the ML before but I loved him. They had great chemistry.I did not like the boss and receptionist ending up together - he was clearly far more mature and older than her and she was very naive. I thought it was a very unnecessary "couple".

A predictable but enjoyable romcom
I had mixed feelings going into this one as the reviews were very mixed. I went in expecting not very much and was pleasantly surprised. The FL and ML had good chemistry. The love triangle was short which was great as some of them drag on to the point of being uncomfortable and/or boring.The sister-in-law was brilliantly acted. I also really enjoyed the ML's mother's acting - so funny.
Overall it was a good light watch, reminding me of the other recent show, Dynamite Kiss.

Enjoyable light series
I really enjoyed this, but what spoiled it for me was her coyness when they had their first kiss (I don't see this as a spoiler as clearly they are going to kiss) and she runs away, covering her face. They were also awkward together, which as they are adults was a bit childish and irritating. I liked the story though and most of it was engaging and light hearted. Just the relationship bits put me off.Overall it's a good watch :)

Perfect mix of modern and costume
I loved this! I put off watching it for so long because of the picture! I had just watched Bae In Hyk in Our Universe and adored him so watched Park's Marriage Contract, and I'm so glad I did. Each character was well played and believable. The leads had amazing chemistry. I don't normally watch any kind of "fantasy/time travel" shows, but this was so well done. I just loved it and gave it 10/10.Was this review helpful to you?
A truly well rounded, beautifully acted series
I loved this series so much. i watched it for Bai Jing Ting and it was fantastic. Each character was well rounded and believable. The second couple were a little bit slow but at the end it worked out and made sense. It was good to see Bai Jing Ting being playful, it was so endearing. A great mix of hospital and police, and enough action to keep the show moving.I will definitely watch this again.
The only thing that let it down, for me, was the styling. Apart from his sister and the men, the two main females were dressed appallingly! The FL was beyond drab, I know they were trying to portray her as someone too busy for her appearance (I think) but it was quite ridiculous. The SFL was equally mostly awfully dressed. A minor irritation, just really awful styling.

Brilliant story and acting
This show is so compelling. I wish it had more episodes as 6 seemed too short. It's a powerful story of loneliness and love, and the push and pull of this. Each character was meaningful and important to the story. Some may say the ending is open to interpretation, but I disagree. It is what is should be and fits with the rest of the show. It's very heartfelt and powerful. The FL and ML were perfection and their chemistry was perfect. The whole story was incredible.Was this review helpful to you?
A must watch!
I had put off watching this purely because of its name, but had some suggestions to watch it and i am so glad I did! This is one of the best cdramas I have watched. The story is engaging right from the start. Each character was very well acted. The FL and ML were amazing and their chemistry was out of this world. Most often the kissing scenes are cold and really awkward - but these had the best kissing scenes of I think all cdramas I've seen.The romance was well paced - the first ten or so episodes really dealt with earlier life, but while some said that was too many episodes and it dragged on, I felt they were needed as they gave a very well rounded background.
Overall, I loved it. It is a romance, but it had lots of elements to support it.

Loved it.
I hadn't seen any of the actors before, and I loved them all. The ML and FL were amazing. They had great chemistry. It's a typical romance in many ways, but had layers of special elements, such as the traditional workmanship. The setting was beautiful and makes me want to visit places like that. The ex-girlfriend's voice was a bit hard on the ears (and the plastic surgery round eyes is a bit confronting for me!!) but as it went on I got used to it.Overall I really enjoyed it.

One of a very few I've dropped
I had to drop this as it was unbearable, for me. The tropes I can get past, but his entire demeanour and her passiveness at the sheer stupidity of their contract was so boring and overdone. Also they obviously do go back and dub missed sounds and voices (I watch in original audio, in this case Mandarin) and her breathing was so loud and just awful, sounding like she had a blocked nose and trying to breathe through it.This is the first time I've left a review on a series that I have actually dropped as it seems unfair, but in this case it is so ridiculous that I had to warn others!!
Note - I was in the mood for a light hearted easy watch, which I read on review here, this was.
