Spring vibes and uncomplicated love in full bloom!
This drama is one of those feel-good, easy watches that you turn to when you just want to unwind, not necessarily for a gripping plot, but for the overall vibe. The story itself is very simple, but that’s part of its appeal. There’s nothing deeply profound about it but somehow, it manages to lift your spirits with its lighthearted energy. At its core, it tells a familiar love story, but it does so with such tenderness and warmth that it became a comforting escape for me.
It’s about self-discovery, the importance of learning to love yourself before we can fully embrace someone else.
What really stood out to me was how much I ended up enjoying both the male and the female lead. They weren’t perfect and they had their awkward, cringe-y moments, but that just made them feel real and relatable. Their chemistry was undeniable and despite their flaws, they were a very charming pair.
I really appreciated how their relationship avoided the typical misunderstanding trope that often drags down. The issues they faced were minimal and resolved in a natural, unhurried way, without unnecessary drama or over-the-top delays. This made their journey feel more realistic,actually focusing on genuine growth and understanding rather than dragging out tension.
The cinematography was nothing but beautiful! All the shots with spring vibe , the costumes , everything was done well and complimented the theme of the drama so well.
I also appreciated the small details, like the metaphors using herb names as the episode titles at the beginning of episodes. It’s a subtle touch, but it made a big difference in setting the tone for each episode. I found it really clever how those names fit the mood of the story, adding an extra layer of meaning.
Zhang Ling He and Xu Ruo Han in my humble opinion aced their roles. ZLH portrayed his character with a perfect balance of charm and vulnerability, while XRH's performance was full of subtle emotional depth, making her character easy to connect with. I didn’t notice any inconsistencies in their acting—each moment felt genuine and natural.
Also FL's parents here were nice and supportive, which I thought was a refreshing change from the typical unsupportive parents in the dramaland.
The only thing that kind of annoyed me was the FL's friend giving unsolicited and stupid advice here and there. It felt extra. Also, I couldn’t vibe with the second couple 's romance at all but thankfully, it wasn’t overdone and I’m glad the screen time dedicated to it was kept to a minimum. The main plot stayed on track and that’s what mattered most.
Overall, this was a refreshing watch, perfect for those looking for a light, feel-good experience. I would definitely recommend it if you are looking for a sweet, uncomplicated romcom with little to no drama.
