It's a solid 8/10

I enjoyed this and loved the cinematography for the 80s into the early 2000s. Loved their outfits too.
Been longing to see Lee JunHo on the screen and he played his character to well. This is my first time watching a drama with Kim Min Ha and she played O Mi Seon so well.
The leads were so shy with each other especially O Mi Seon. I like their chemistry and loved that she supported him and also because she had a dream and at the end, he supported her too.
It also shows how a rich/well off family can adjust to being poor/not so well off and how they have accepted it and still grateful. (love that especially his mom)
A lot happened with the villains in this drama and they upset me so much but the CEO and employees didn't give up, they tried and tried until there was success.
Why not a 10? Some parts were a bit draggy and also I wish they showed more success in their business after years later and also them getting married. I also wish he wasnt so nice to the PYO company and take all....

Overall, it was a good watch.

Youth to adulthood romance

If I had kept reading these low ratings review, I wouldnt have given this a chance. I watched it and its a solid 8/10 for me. It was good. It's one of those coming of age drama with friends that you grew up with and still remained friends throughout high school, uni and adulthood.
Jiang Qiao Xi and his family had their issues which lead to more problems and it took a toll on him mentally. And when a man feels like he is not enough nor can he provide, he will want to distant himself until he can rise again. (just to summarize).
And that didnt matter to Lin Ying Tao, she loves him regardless of what he life was like after everything happened.
All I can say is that they loved each other so much, it was so cute and emotional to see them.
Lin Ying Tao is a smart young girl and Jiang Qiao Xi finally opened to her and as their lives progressed, we all know that they made it through.
Why it wasnt a 9 or 10/10 - I think they spent too much time on the childhood journey of their lives, I was hoping they would skip and go to uni and uni was a little bit too long.... I just thought it would have been better if maybe the last 3-5 episodes were focused on them and their new lives....I wanted to see the successful friends and his parents and their wedding. I wanted to see them start their family and maybe progressed to another 5yrs later... you know?
But that is just my opinion.

Worth the watch!

Can we talk about the leads on screen chemistry? I loved them. I had put off this drama for so long and finally decided to watch it. It was worth it!!!
Nok Du came off as this strong character and remained that way. I always love a strong ML and then when he played "Lady Kim" it was hilarious LOL.
You could see that he liked Dong Joo when they met and he didn't give up but on the other side of it, he was still that caring, kind person and that came naturally because of how he grew up.
Dong Joo and Nok Du had their own mission and caused a few misunderstanding but I think because they are mature, they got through it.
I wont even talk about Grand Prince Neungyang (overly obsessed) and that King? Not even worth talking about. He is just "sick".

I am just happy that we didn't get any "unnecessary de@th$" in this drama.
After 9 years, they didnt start a family? Or did I miss something?
Overall, it was a great series - love, revenge, comedy and happy ending.

strong FL and ML

Amazing casting! This is my first time watching a drama with Chen Xiao and loved his role in this.
I am always down for the strong FL and ML - power couple. He was so captivated by her the minute he saw her and you could tell, he found him a bit interesting.
Listen, I had no idea Ouyang Xu would end up like that LOL.
Despite all the set backs, the leads and their friends finally got what they wanted.
For some of the characters (family), maybe I missed what happened to them.
For the ending, I wouldn't say it is my favorite. They could have given us the ending we were looking forward to see.
Overall, it was good and you will enjoy the romance and fighting scenes.

Not your typical Xianxia romance dramas

Not much action in the first few episodes and I was hoping there would be since it was a fight between the D3mon clan and them. 
I dropped it at episode 19 and after 2 weeks lol I picked it up back. I still think there was something missing and I couldn’t put a pin on it. 
Slowly things just started getting drag after they all left the mountain and then things picked up back a little and we got more actions.
No doubt that the leads had chemistry and I feel like we didn’t get much of their love journey. I also hopes that the ending would have been better but I understand the concept.
For me, it was a great drama but I have watched better Xianxia romance dramas.

My Comfort Drama

Watched this 3x already. It is just perfect in every way. Each time I write a review, I am crying lol. I don't want to spoil this for anyone who has never seen it so I won't say much.
If you are looking for a high school to adulthood drama that is light, fluffy, charming, full of green flags, friendship, family, no drama, no love triangle, just pure LOVE, then this is the one for you. The ending is what you would want to see in all romance dramas. It is perfect to me. Sometimes, I wish I could watch this again for the first time but each time I do, I never get bored and I still end up crying. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

This is added to my top fav historical cdrama!!!

I DIDN'T SKIP THROUGH any of the episodes which was quite surprising for me. Personally, it is not boring nor draggy.
It was very entertaining, loved the leads chemistry and how their love blossomed!!!
My prediction for some parts were off and that's what kept me wanting to see what happens next.
You will definitely get some comedy. One of the funniest parts was when Song Mi’s dad had one of his guy to go get info about The FL and the scene where he was at the river washing clothes, cracked me up!.
Both ML and FL dads had a scene and it was just pure comedy.

I believe the casting was on point. It was an easy watch. You know I love me a wedding and kids to make it a perfect drama for me. It had a perfect ending.

You will enjoy it.

This is added to my top fav historical cdrama!!!

Praises to the MOM!!!

Praises to the MOM!!! Raising so many daughters is not easy. Her being hard on them was only for their own good. It's great to have a mom like that. I didn't watch the trailer for this but I know Wang Xingyue work.
I thought that the series was based on him and Lu Yuxiao but surprisngly, it was based on all the daughters. So you get a little bit of their lives after getting married. Some are exciting while others are more laid back.
I do realized that after a while, you dont see much of 1st and 3rd sister.
Listen, I am biased because I wanted to see more about the 3rd sister and her husband.
***SPOILER*** They didn't even show or talked about when she was pregnant. They only mentioned "kids" in the last episode so we can only assume it happened in that 3yrs.
But, I believe the writer did good to keep us entertained with their lives so we didn't get bored.
Overall, it was a decent watch!!!! They all found their perfect match
