It didn't deliver for me
Things I liked1 The premise. Funny, original and with so much potential.
2 The Three exes. They were interesting enough and the actresses were good enough to keep my attention.
Things I disliked
1 The FL. She didn't embrace her role. I don't know if it was the role or her acting skills but I don't think she did a great job.
2 Her relationship with her sister, I found her intolerable and even though she had some redeeming qualities this is the kind of character I dislike thoroughly.
3 ML. Not handsome enough or talented enough to bring me to care for his character.
Things I hated
1 That such a brilliant premise was ruined by casting the wrong leads.
2 That such a brilliant premise was ruined by a sloppy script. It could have been brilliant if they took the time to write a decent script. This wasn't funny or witty or interesting. A shame.

Good actors and some funny moments
Things I loved:1 The last scenes between the main couple and their family-ies. I thought their chemistry shone and it warmed my heart to see them so happy.
Things I liked:
1 The main actors. I think they did a good job. I'm not in love with them, and I didn't go right away to find other series they were in, but maybe I'll do in the future. I found the FL a good actress and beautiful which is a bonus for a romantic series.
2 The whole tone. It wasn't anything extraordinary but it was light most of the time and it has some good comedic moments.
3 The scene where the SFL talks about her regrets. I think she did a great job. It felt real and it got me.
4 The friendships and how close they stayed after school some of them.
Things I disliked:
1 The proposal setting. That's personal of course, and I'm sure others love it, but for me it'd be the worst thing my boyfriend could do if he wanted to propose. That said it wasn't as bad as one would expect.
2 The whole heart transplant thing. I don't care for this kind of heavy stories in my lighthearted series.

Such a fun idea
Things I liked:1 The main actor. Some think he's not handsome enough, but I think he was good looking and also great for the character. He fitted the role to perfection.
2 The best friend of the heroine. She was down to earth and I liked how honest she was sometimes.
3 The brother of the heroine. He wasn't the best character but he felt real.
4 The actress. She isn't my favorite and I think that if another actress played the role I'd have more fun, but she was good enough.
5 The male character. He fought for his dreams, he never did any bad things on purpose, he did the right thing when he understood his mistakes. I loved him and he moved me more than once.
Things I disliked:
1 The age talk. I don't get it. These people were young, and it's so weird to me to talk about how people aren't beautiful after a certain age that it took away of my entertainment.
2 The people she worked with. I didn't find they were people I'd love to have as colleagues.
3 Not enough romantic scenes.
4 There was a story it was too heavy although it made me cry so it was acted well.
5 I think they should have taken more time to show why they were in love the first time and again the second time. It wasn't enough for me.
6 They also should take more time to craft a better script so we could sympathize more with the heroine. I liked her but I was expecting more of such a fun concept. More romance, more tenderness, more fun.
Things I hated:
1 The rival. What a psychopath. No excuses for he behavior even after knowing her past. She was a lunatic, nothing less and I wish she paid in a way. I think she didn't suffer enough.
2 The SML. I dislike the actor so much that I was biased against him anyway. But I also think the whole plot was contrived and stupid. He didn't have any chemistry with the heroine.
3 The father. This character was an abomination and I regret spending a minute to write about him.
4 The assistant of the father. What a pathetic character and no their past isn't an excuse to accept being a punching ball for someone. These awful characters made me lower the rating for this series that otherwise was great,

Interesting premise
Things I liked:1 The plot. It had room for creating many funny and romantic situations.
2 The main actress. She wasn't the best but she was a good romantic heroine.
3 The male lead. I'm not in love with him and at first I thought he wasn't handsome enough and would ruin the series for me, but he ended being decent and I liked him in his role.
4 The aunt. What a beautiful actress and she was perfect in her role.
Things i didn't like:
1 The script could be better. There was room for it but sometimes it felt contrived.
2 The male lead. I think someone more handsome would be better in the main role.
3 The SML. I don't like that actor so for me it was a sore point.
4 The character of the SML and his story. I truly didn't care at all. I hated the whole plot.
5 The SFL. Same as for the SML. I didn't like her and took away from my pleasure watching this.

The judges were awful
Things I loved1 That it was a pastry contest of course. Although for the love of god I don't know why they kept saying bread in English. If it was about bread then it should be about bread. That wasn't the case. Did the bake bread? Yes. But mostly it was pastries, so what the heck? All in all, it was an utter failure.
Things I liked
1 The contestants. Most were sympathetic and did their best to present us great pastries.
2 The winner. She was good, she has a crazy talent for details and she deserved the win.
3 The amateur judge. She was fresh and she honest about what she enjoyed and why. She didn't try to act like an expert and I appreciated that.
Things I disliked
1 The theme of every episode. I didn't find them enticing enough and there were too many that were stupid and not original at all.
2 Some of the contestants but luckily very few.
3 The judges that I didn't hate except for Mimi that I liked.
Things I hated
1 The judges panel. Napoli Matfia what an idiot. Not only did he win without glory his competition but he had to ruin this one with his stupid comments. Not only that but he had the nerve to say to the amateur contestant that she shouldn't be there. What a despicable idiot. She was one of the best contestants and she had a great attitude and she had to agree with that idiot? Please!!
2 The female judge who works in France. What a disagreeable arrogant woman. She rarely smiled and what ever she said you thought she ate a bitter lemon. I hated her. It's so clear she thinks she's the best.
2 Da-Hee, the presenter. I love her in Single's Inferno. She's so funny, incisive, beautiful. Here she was awful. She had nothing to do and when she spoke was only to frustrate us by taking an hour to effing give us the scores etc. If there is a second season she should stay out of that program. She deserves better.

Flowers for the win
Things I loved1 The ML. A charismatic actor and a good character. I will definitely look for his other dramas and hope they'll be a little more dynamic so I can watch him on something more vibrant. Here he was good, but the theme od the drama didn't give him much room to show his talent. I feel like he could be much better on another series and have better chemistry with another actress. Although it's not guaranteed, maybe this was his best.
2 The parents. I loved how supportive were of their daughter.
3 The FL as bride. One of the most beautiful I've ever seen and her wedding dress was great also.
4 The flowers. I was looking forward to see the nest scene where flowers would play a part. Magical.
Things I liked
1 The Chinese Medicine theme. It's interesting to me and I was happy with the way they involved it in the story.
2 The FL. I didn't love her, but I didn't dislike her either. I won't look for any other dramas with her because I think she didn't do justice to the role and she lacked something to make me care about her. She was apathetic most of the times and I don't know, maybe it's a me problem, I didn't click with her. On the other hand, I can't dislike her character or the actress. I even think that maybe it's worth it to give her another chance, bot not yet. Maybe after a while when I'll be over this drama.
Things I disliked
1 The pace. It was too slow for me even though I like slow.
2 The ex. Stupid character who should have disappeared sooner.
3 The first episodes where the FL was sad and indecisive. I know it's realistic, but I still didn't like it.

Just wonderful - Don't miss it
Things I adored1 The ML. What fabulous actor and what a great role. I fell in love with him from the first scene and was first with his character. How can you not fall in love with someone who's unique and talented and hard working and never lets life and stupid people get in his way. I wish there were more dramas with him I could watch. And to think I don't even find him handsome in a classic way, yet he was so perfect in his role I found him more than handsome in the end. I'm already on his profile looking for other shows with him.
2 The FL. Such a great actress and a positive character. I loved her as well from the very first moment and she never disappointed me. She is a great actress although I have to say that since this is my first drama with her I don't know how she'll do with another script and I hope she does better in the romance scenes because here there was something lacking. I'm going to search for other shows with her for sure.
3 Pei XI. Another wonderful character and his story was one of the most compelling. I loved every minute he was in and I was so happy for his story arc. The way it started it continued and ended. It was perfect all the way.
4 Lin Yi Xuan. What an adorable character and the actor did a great job to make me care about him. A loyal friend, a fierce competitor and the dash of humor we needed in this drama. He was perfect all the way.
5 Summer. Not a big character but he made me laugh the more with Lin Yi Xuan and he was also a great friend with a big heart. What else can you ask? His smile made me smile and his actions made my heart fond.
6 The friendship. The relationship between these characters was the highlight of the show along with the competition. I've never seen so many friendships that stood time so well and proved to be solid and real. I cried a lot of times and laughed as many and my heart grew fond of all of them. Such a great bunch of friends and competitors.
7 The script. The screenwriter did a great job creating so many real, compelling characters. I wouldn't even be able to choose my favorite from the cast. I adore the ML, but the rest of the cast is as good.
8 The competition part. It was thrilling and it's the first time after maybe a 100 shoes that I stayed awake for two nights to watch the series. Never happened to me to watch a whole series in two days and nights. I watched a lot of series I adored but I could stop for a few days and go back while here I couldn't stop. I just wanted to see what happened and how. Honestly, if not for the lacking in the romance department this would be on my top 3 shows.
Things I loved
1 The game universe. I didn't think I would, and some things went over my head, but it didn't take away from my pleasure. Competition was thrilling and I was at the edge of my seat until the last minutes.
2 The 2FL. I loved her, she was a great friend and a good journalist, but didn't adore her. Only one reason to this. She acted too childish sometimes, to the point that it was frustrating. I wish her relationship with Lin Yi Xuan was better developed as well. It still was adorable, though.
3 Gu Fang. We didn't have the chance to get to know him better but the little we saw made me love him and his behavior after the first championship was exemplary of a great athlete. I also loved his relationship with the ML.
4 Xia Ling. Another adorable character who contributed to make the series compelling, Not only the story with his sister was interesting but also his personal growth. I would have done without the drama but it wasn't that bad.
5 Sun Ze Yi. I repeat myself but he as also a great character and I'm so happy with his story arc. I think his was one of the most compelling. The actor played well and I'm happy with his personal story as well. I wish we could have seen more of his romantic arc.
6 Shu Wen. I loved her and how she stood up for what she believed. I loved her relationship with the ML, her ex and her team. A positive smart character whom I'd love to watch more as well.
Things I liked
1 Luo Tian. I wasn't fond of the actor to be honest, but his character won some points after he behaved so well with the FL. Not a negative point, though. He did his part and contributed to the whole series.
Things I disliked
1 I don't think make Luo Tian have feelings for the FL even though it never went far was necessary. I'm not even sure it contributed anything except for a few scenes that could have been done another way to express what the writer wanted.
2 The way the treated the romance part. Although I get that this was primarily a competition focused drama the romance was a big part of it and it should have been done better. They did dirty on the ML with the way they wrote some scenes and they never took the time to have the main leads have an explanation and that's a complete miss for me. I invested so many hours I think I deserved to see them happy and have a good explanation instead of a rush ending. Another thing the messed u was that they created a warm, great relationship between the ML and his ex and showed us how in love they were but failed to do so with the FL. That's something that frustrated me a lot.
3 The lack of chemistry between the leads when it comes to romance. let me explain because this is tricky. They had great chemistry when they bickered, it was a treat. Same for when they became friends. They were adorable. But it never translated to the scenes where they were together as a couple. I'm not sure why. They didn't even have a proper kiss. The two kisses, although it may have been only one, were fish kisses and left me frustrated and irritated. If you are able to make me lose sleep for two nights to watch this, you have to be able to write and film a great kiss. That's the only reason I take half a point of my rating. Because I think it's a great miss to mess the romance part so much. They didn't even have any sweet moments after they got together. it was more sweet and adorable before.
4 The ex. Fu Mi Ya. I know most people hated her, but I didn't. I think her reaction was natural in a way. She was in love she sacrificed everything for her career and she felt alone. It was natural to turn to her ex and they did a great job to show us how close they were and why she would still be attached to the memory of them. Did she go a little too far? Definitely, but she redeemed herself and that was a true redemption. I think they should have given us a scene where she realized Tony, her manager is the person she should be with. The actress did a good job by the way to make us not hate her character.
Things I hated
1 The way the FL reacted to their romance. There was a line I hated with all my heart because it made me question the whole relationship between the leads. She said when she was asked id she was sad that she wasn't as sad as she expected. That she was grateful to have met him bla bla. That ruined the romance for me. How the heck aren't you sad mere hours after you think your love story has ended? If you were truly in love there's no way you felt happy for all the stupid reasons you uttered. You need time to process all this and react in such a cold way. I'm sorry that was an awful line.
2 Zhao Yang. I wish he paid a heavy price for what he did and not only lose his job. His character was despicable and we never were given a reason other than jealousy. Good riddance.
3 Qi Yue. No shortage of characters to hate and I don't care about his redemption. I don't believe he would ever be able to do that and I think he should never get another chance to play. After all he tried to destroy the ML without any remorse. Good riddance as well. Not happy with the redemption idea.
4 Qiao Xin. The queen of malice. Do I believe she changed? I don't care. I don't want to see her again so why would I care? She was an immature and quite uninteresting character to be honest. Her acts didn't make any sense to me. How jealous and insecure can you be to try to smear someone who did nothing to harm you? Such a selfish nasty person.

Disappointing at all levels
Things I loved1 The premise. I thought it would be interesting and it was for a few episodes. Then I stopped caring.
Things I liked
1 The FL. She's one of the actresses I like, but here something was amiss. I can't put my finger on it, but she didn't fit the role for some reason.
Things I disliked
1 The ML. Unfortunately I didn't care about his acting and I found him disturbing. Maybe he's a good actor but here he didn't deliver for me. I didn't want him to be guilty but I didn't care either and that's what ruined the whole drama for me. That he wasn't a compelling enough character to make me care.
2 The romance part. They didn't have chemistry in my book.
3 The ending. Not riveting and at that point i didn't care for that ether.
4 The fan part. I thought it would be good but it was limit disturbing. I didn't hate it but it wasn't dealt well with and that diminished my enjoyment. All in all, not as good as I was expecting and hoping.

How can you rate perfection?
Things I adored1 The FL. I thought I'd never like anyone more than Bai Lu. Well, it happened. I think Lu Yu Xiao became my favorite actress ever. Beautiful, sweet, funny, talented. I never liked any actress the way I liked her in Love Between Lines. She nailed every second she was in. The way she laughed, the way she cried, the way she teased, the way she kissed, it was a master class of acting. Her character was one of the best I've ever seen as well. Smart, dedicated, great friend, great daughter, the best girlfriend ever. I wish I could explain how much I loved her but it's impossible. I wish her a long and fulfilling career. She made me cry and laugh and swoon and I had some wonderful moments watching her in LBL. Absolute perfection. I think she is the best rom com heroine ever and i doubt anyone surpass her.
2 The whole series. Were they some things I didn't adore? Definitely. But when everything makes your heart flutter or sink and makes you feel alive and so lucky to see this drama everything is perfect. The premise was wonderful, the pace was great, the plot was compelling. Only details bothered me.
3 The chemistry between the leads. So wonderful to watch. Every smile between them, every hug, every word was perfection. I didn't expect that when I started it and I made it last as much as I could, but in the end I gave in and watched the last episodes only to feel sad and empty knowing I can't recapture the joy this drama brought me. When you think that I don't even find the ML that handsome and I've seen other dramas of him I didn't like, you can imagine how good this one is to make me love him as well.
4 The ML. I don't find him that handsome, and I definitely didn't like his clothes this time. But his acting was so subtle, so perfect that now he is on my favorite actors list. He was the perfect boyfriend, he had crazy chemistry with Lu Yu Xiao and it felt like they didn't act. They felt like a real couple.
5 The jealousy scenes. Both nailed them and they were so fun to watch. I would love a compilation of them just to rewatch them again and again.
6 The kisses. They were great. Finally some real kiss scenes that were believable and so rewarding. Perfection again.
7 Their relationship. Once it happened they were there for each other in such a way that you can only fall in love with them and want them to be happy.
8 The relationship of the FL with her parents. It reminded me of my family and I felt for her father, her mother and the FL. I loved how close they were and how they were ready to listen to each other and forgive and support. The way my family is and the way I wish everyone were with their family.
9 The virtual setting. I loved it. So fun and original to see them in the virtual game. Was it perfect? Of course not but I wanted to ha fun. I didn't care about the credibility of this part. It was the best start of a romance ever.
10 I loved the relationship between the FL and her friend. They were there for each other without any judgment and this is another strong appeal of the drama.
Things I loved
1 The people who worked at Dynamic studio. They weren't developed enough but it was a healthy and creative environment which was refreshing and healing to watch after watching so many dramas with awful, toxic work places.
2 The best friend of the ML. He wasn't developed enough ether but he seemed a genuinely good guy and although we didn't see him with the FL's best friend we know that's where it headed and why not? I have some reservations because to be honest I felt like he's not appreciated enough but I loved him and I would like for him to find happiness.
3 The way the FL dressed. There ere a few outfits I didn't love but nothing I truly disliked. Most were very stylish and elegant and suited her. Well, she's gorgeous so it helps, but still. Cute outfits that suited her personality.
Things I disliked
1 The shoes the FL wore. most were ugly and shoes meant for old people. I'm not sure why she wore these.
2 The ML's clothes. I've seen many comment about how well he was dressed but honestly I thought exactly the opposite. The suits weren't flattering and the trousers same thing. They didn't make him look better but worse. None of his clothes were fitting. Let's be real, the 2ML was much more elegant.
3 The way they deal with the best friend and the husband. We didn't have time and enough information to side with her a 100%. I'm in no way in support of any kind of cheating, but I needed him to explain more. I needed her to take some time to think before making such a drastic decision. Nothing was really explained and until the "cheating" we saw some issues but not enough to make me understand her decision. That said, I'm all for her asking for a divorce. At that point, trust was lost and they could never be together and happy. Still, I wish they took the time to make us feel what both went through. After all they married because they loved each other. It should count for a few weeks of grief. Here we had the impression that from evening to morning everything was dealt.
4 The mother of the ML. I can't hate her, she went through a horrible moment and made a wrong decision, but she was a weak woman and I hate weak women in dramas. The actress wasn't great either. More like a robot than a real person.
5 The 2ML. I can't put him in the "hated" list. I can't put an abused child in this list, not even in a drama. Not even when he des some questionable if not despicable things. I wish we could see him happy to be honest and I took his last scene as he will find his purpose and some day he'll be happy. I didn't find him handsome at all so it's not because of that. It's because I think he was abused and lied his whole life and he deserves some happiness.
Things I hated
1 The father of the 2ML. The actor nailed the role, no doubt. I haven't abhorred someone so much since the 2Ml in So I Married an Anti-Fan. I wanted to punch him every time he appeared. Such a horrible horrible person. I wish we could have seen him suffer instead of a few minutes of confrontation. I wish I could see a confrontation with his wife, his son and the ML.
2 The story was too heavy in some aspects. I didn't like the abuse of the 2ML. it was triggering to me and didn't have its place in such a drama. Same for the fire thing. It would be as much compelling without these two things.

Loved every member of the cast and the story
Things I adored1 The premise. So relatable and so funny at the same time. I was so happy to watch a different premise for once and even though it seems it's a remake I haven't seen the original and it doesn't take anything away from its quality. Great idea, great execution.
2 The ML. He nailed the role. He never crossed the line to annoying to disrespectful or to anything negative. I felt for him each and every time something he did turned badly for him. I think he is one of the most positive and real heroes I've seen in any K or Cdrama. The actor did a phenomenal job and kudos to him for managing to create such a compelling character. He may be labeled cold, or eccentric, or weird or anything you want. To me he was a great character. He cared about everyone around him without ever losing his unique perspective on things. Truly a fabulous character.
3 The assistant. What a kind and again relatable character. I wanted him to succeed so much and I was happy with how his character evolved. So real and rewarding.
4 The FL. She's gorgeous and she acts so well. I think she did a great job as well and I wish she had more main roles so I can watch her in other series. Honestly, one of the most beautiful actresses out there. Her character was great as well. Likable, smart, realistic, fun and compelling. What more to ask?
5 The little dog. I think he was integral part of why I loved the series so much.
Things I loved
1 The 2FL. She was good at playing the young and naïve sometimes woman and she was also relatable. I can't put her in the "adore" list, for the simple reason that I didn't like one of the arcs for her. Not her fault and she acted quite well that part, but I still didn't love that.
2 The whole cast. I think it's the first time I didn't find anyone to dislike in the whole cast. The mother, the sister, the brother in law, the girlfriend of the assistant, the colleague, they were all likable, relatable and good people. Ten out of ten for all of them. I had so much fun watching this series because of such a great cast.
3 The friendship between the FL and the young neighbor of the ML. It didn't seem weird, they dealt with this so well, it seemed natural and heartwarming.
4 The brother in law. I found him over the top a bit but still very funny and a good person. I loved his relationship with the ML.
Things I disliked
1 I didn't like that though leads weren't together until the end and that there was only one kiss. With such a string cast and a solid script I was expecting at east a few kisses and some more scenes with them together. That's my only complaint.

Uneven and disappointing
Things I liked1 That is was a law theme series. I love everything that has a law premise. That said, it started well and then it changed and went downhill. Some episodes were decent some were awful. It wasn't only the cases but the way they glossed over, and they rarely managed to move me. It happened but not as much as I thought.
2 The ML. Actually I hesitated were to pout him. I could also put him in the things I disliked, but he was better than the rest of the cast so I have to acknowledge this. That said, I thought he was looking quite old, his acting was too restrained, more than the role required, and even in the moving scenes he was holding back. Though he was better than the FL. Still a decent performance.
Things I disliked
1 The FL. I don't think she was good in this role. It felt like she had no idea how to act. She didn't deliver her smart ideas in a convincing way. She wasn't able to move me when she talked about her sister and the whole family debacle. To put it bluntly she didn't make me care.
2 The ML ex wife. I didn't hate her as others because I think she was flawed but I could clearly see what happened and how it was difficult for her to make the right decision. I don't excuse her, I just think she was a normal human being who made mistakes. She should have owned her mistakes sooner though.
3 The lack f chemistry. Unfortunately even though they tried both actors didn't manage to have any sparks between them. It felt to me like two high school students read their script instead of living it. After having seen so many K and C dramas, I can say that for me both were wrong for their role.
Things I hated
1 The FL mother. No redemption arc could save her. I loathed her and I wish she paid for what she did. There's no excuse for being such a coward and despicable human being.
2 The culprit in the animals case. I know he was there for an episode but he was one of the worst villains I've ever seen and it made me hurt, really hurt. My stomach was in knots.
3 The 2ML. I thought he was childish and so boring and stupid. I didn't like at all the way he chased the 2FL. I didn't feel their couple was one to rule for. I hate age gap but in this case it wasn't about that. He just seemed so immature from the first time he courted her to the stupid proposal. That was one of the stupidest I've ever seen. I wish she'd rejected him.
4 The ending. The conversation between the leads. So trite and pseudo philosophical. Who the heck says things like that with a straight face? It was like they both read a script and not having a genuine conversation and I'm the queen of such conversations. There was no passion, no conviction, nothing. One of the less satisfying endings out there. Not to mention the memorial like we went through the dead people after a reward ceremony. Awful.
5 The ex wife's husband. I just mention it because he was so insecure and stupid it ruined every scene he was on.
6 Some cases like the animal and the bulling cases. I do get why they did it and I applaud that, but it was too hard to watch for a series that wasn't supposed to be that brutal. As for the last case it takes the crown for the most stupid case and the most stupid outcome. I didn't get what he gained or why she behaved like nothing had changed. Both idiots.

When I fell in love with Ji Chang Wook
Things I loved:1 Ji Chang Wook. I never thought I could fall in love with an actor and yet here I am. When he wore his glasses and didn't have his hair styled, he was just adorable. His acting skills and especially comedic are fantastic. I could rave about him for hours so let's say he's my first crush.
2 The secondary characters. I loved all of them. The whole lawyer team, the moms, her nemesis, and the female prosecutor.
3 The story. Although I thought it could be better regarding some points, it still was great and interesting.
4 Nam Ji Hyun. I'm not in love with her, but she's a great actress and she was great showing her feelings. I especially loved her comedic moments.
5 Ji Chang Wook. Fine, I repeat myself but he deserves it, and I just wanted to add it again to talk about the meeting scenes. I loved each and every one of them. The bickering and the care they had for each other shone through.
6 The relationship of the female lead with her rival, the woman her ex cheated with her.
Things I disliked (although not much):
1 Not enough romantic, sizzling scenes. I'll probably say this again and again, but it's a shame such wonderful series (Korean and Chinese) lack at this department.
2 The second couple wasn't developed enough. I wanted to see how their relationship evolves and have them confess their feelings.

It was good but something was missing
Things I loved1 The genre. This is one of my favorite genres, mystery and romance, but it has to be done well, and there the romance lacked something.
2 The ML (Zhang Yun Long). He's a good actor and he was great in his role. I loved his friendship with the other ML and their scenes were the best.
Things I liked
1 The ML (Hu Yi Tian). I don't know, something bothered me and I think he wasn't as good an actor as the other ML. Still, he was handsome and he was funny enough times to keep watching.
2 The format of the cases.
Things I disliked
1 The FL. I think what bothered me most was the lack of chemistry with the ML rather than her character. If another actress had the role, the series would be a 9 for me at least.

Two adorable and talented leads can do no wrong
Things I adored1 The leads. Not because their characters were extraordinary but because just watching them fall in love brought a smile a in my life and that's enough reason to adore them.
2 The FL. She's such a positive and adorable character. I love that she's kind but also driven and has dreams others than falling in love. Ester Yu plays the role perfectly and although I think I'll never love her more than in Moonlight, she's great in this drama as well.
3 The ML. I didn't fall in love with him in the Keep your head on my shoulder drama although I understand why he became a star. I didn't like any of his recent dramas either, so I wanted to find something where I would love him and this one did id. He embodies perfectly his role and his chemistry with Ester Yu is great. I'd love to see them again together.
4 The proposal. I welled up. It was so cute, so romantic, so original, so funny, so fitting. I adored it.
Things I loved
1 I'm not a snow girl, but I loved that it was different and about a sport I don't follow but I find interesting. I loved the setting and the scenery was breathtaking sometimes.
2 The secondary characters, I loved all of them. I was irritated a few times by the 2FL but at the end of the day they were all adorable and so relatable. I loved the relationship between them, all of them.
3 I loved the ML sister and how she entered the frame. It was cute and I loved her relationship with the FL as well. Truly one of the most adorable dramas I've ever seen.
3 I loved the competition angle. I rarely find dramas I like with a competition premise. One i loved was Gank your Heart, but this one was also interesting, although not in the same level as Gank you Heart.

I thought I'd like it more
Things I loved1 The genre, I love mystery ad humor and this seemed to have the perfect premise.
Things I liked
1 Most of the actors. I won't single anyone because the problem wasn't the actors and I think everyone did a decent job.
Things I disliked
1 Sometimes the humor felt forced and too much over the top. I know this is the core of the drama, but I expected something less extravagant I guess. For example the horse scene everyone thinks is hilarious left me cold. I still don't see why is it funny. Yet I'm usually a good candidate for humorous dramas. Black humor, British humor, silly humor I can watch everything and found it entertaining. Okay I hate raunchy humor and stupid humor like American Pie style.
