Right on the first episode, I already found it off - too cliche. Meeting up while bumping each other would have been fine, but having a mathematical conversation in the middle of the pedestrian lane after bumping each other is just so random. I understand how they are trying to be quirky with the plot and script, but I don't think it just works out well with this one. Another thing that I want to point out as well is who even put math notebooks in front of a swimming pool, especially one that you value? Has no one ever thought that "oh, the notebooks are made of paper, it's going to be wet here." Then, even more cliche things happened even after that.

The good thing about this drama, though, is their character building. Jian Dan started as someone who didn't care about looks, but over time, she went out of her comfort zone. I did find her quite annoying and 'too much' as a character being quirky at the beginning, but after that, she actually toned down a bit. Yan Sheng, however, as a character, is too common - the kind of male lead to find someone annoying, then gets mean, and feels pity for Jian Dan. It's just like using the same formula of characters, cold guy meets quirky girl - and I don't see anything original coming from this, which made me decide to just drop the series.

I swear, I did try my best to like this when usually I stop right away after the first episode, but this drama is just not meant for me. It might work out for some. Depending on your preference, please try watching it first by the first episode.
