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.

Stupidity and toxicity - no thanks.
I tried to watch this about five times and just can't get through the arrogance, stupidity and toxicity of the characters. Could not get through the fourth episode. I know some say they love it, but it was just revolting for me. Maybe I've met too many people like them. Also the dumb pouty complaining expressions - just awful (I know it's a common thing in Kdramas and for the most part I can ignore it but not in these characters).All in all, an unwatchable series for me. Maybe younger people would like it - it could be a study in toxic and stupid people I guess :) I tried to stay through for Song Kang, but couldn't.

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.
