Would have been good if not for the disappointment of the final episodes.
Up until e21 this is 8.5/10 for me. The airport setting is fun, maybe not too well researched, but nonetheless interesting enough. FL's acidic & quippy personality is endlessly entertaining & the chemistry may not be amazing or anything, but there is nothing wrong with this pairing. Looking at the first 15-20 epis, for the most part this is about as good as a cdrama romcom can get in 2026.
Anyway I have 2 big issues with this show. Firstly as I already mentioned the final episodes are not great. The nearly last minute breakup is egregious. Yes, it's easy to justify why FL would do this, but the narrative timing & the scenes leading up to it make it horrid. Furthermore FL also makes up with her mom, I understand that skipping this rarely passes censorship, but nonetheless it's still ever so annoying. Is it really that hard to write a toxic parent that just doesn't return into their children's lives before the ending credits roll? (though for all I know it could be hard, who knows what hidden rules exist related to showing parentage)
Secondly ML's behavior is beyond assertive, like he could have been sued for sexual harassment many times over for his actions, so often the FL has to forcefully remove his hand from her wrist, or there is the aggressive walk into FL's personal space. Even for the Chinese audiences this should've been too much toxic alpha male crap.
