It takes a strong person to remain single in a world that can easily find you your wrong match

It's a unique drama that delves into the mind of a single established man who is quirky, fun and unbelievably kind to whom he cares. Here the dialogues are so hilarious and relatable, sometimes brutally honest, that you'd think you're watching a stand-up comedy not a drama. I love these slice of life shows where people are being themselves, just living life between triumphs and struggles, breathing and trying to make life better every day. Even if it's mundane, realistically flawed, it has its own charm. 

Personally, I find ML's character perfect for a snobbish single person who refuses to accept anything but his own opinion. Even if he's single and aging, he doesn't see that as any flaw, unlike some. He's really contained with himself and his hobbies. As an introvert, I don't see anything wrong with it, just like him. He's apparently rich but prefers eating where he gets a discount but won't think twice before buying his favorite board game at triple his daily expense. He isn't frugal, he's economically aware. Surely he has a sharp mouth but never intended to hurt anyone's feelings. He has his own set of values to guide his path and carve his life into an idealistically independent man who enjoys life fully. He's the most kind-hearted jerk you've met in your whole life. 

It's all before Dr. Gu Yeijia and Xiaoman entered his life. Because what happened after that is the storyline of the drama. Yeijia is that catalyst which redefined his way of living and got him thinking about the other's perspectives in contrast with each other. Without spoiling the story, I would say, take it as a tea break, which allows you to slow down and relax your complicated thought process while taking a bite of your favorite piece of cake. 

Overall, this drama is nothing special story wise, but it is a special, one-of-a-kind contemporary drama that will leave a good feeling inside you.
