This was a good vibes only series. The characters especially Lu Zheng An, his boss and the family members were…
My biggest surprise was Li Tian! I thought she would be an obnoxious 2FL who never gets a hint, but after a while, she realizes she has no chance with the ML and eventually becomes one of the FL/ML biggest supporters, going as far as working her butt off so they can be happy together and in public. What a girl!!
Finished it! Honestly, quite the enjoyable drama, though I did not vibe with the last two episodes. The leads did not break up or have some trashy months to years long separation or anything of sorts [thank God!], but they were also effectively living away from each other, and there was almost no screen time shared between them. Also, that marriage proposal was so dogshit LMAO.
Instead of the FL staying alone at home while the ML worked on his stuff, I wish they worked together?? I mean, their relationship was already public, I do not get why the FL was not allowed to go to work?
With that aside, their chemistry was great. The FL is so pretty and I love her smile! Also, she really does not look 30 and even if she did, it is only 30 lol So many characters treating 30 years old as if they are 65 years old. ML is a cutie too, and as an insecure person myself, I love how clingy he was. Some might hate how much he clung and hovered around the FL, but trust me, some people [like me] would love nothing more than having someone clinging to them.
By the way, sure there is a difference in experience between a 31 years old person and a 24 years old person, but again, the characters were treating the leads as if their age gap was something like 20, 30 years. Sometimes I had to double check internally if the FL was not actually meant to be 45 or 50 years old??? Not because she looks that age, but because the characters are making their age gap such a big deal. It is only 7 years! Chill out, buddies.
Oh, one last thing, I usually do not talk about background music, but I really loved the tracks played in My Fated Boy!
Buddies, he calls her WIFEY? ;-; <3 Oh, my little shriveled heart... Please, be a cute, non toxic, non melo…
Oh my god, Li Tian!! <3 May your little fictional heart be blessed and loved. Not everyone is kind enough to work her ass off to help her unrequited love and his beloved the way she did. What a character! Ma Le, too! I love how I was so sure he would become a thorn in the leads' romance, but he eventually chose people over money and sided with them. Li Tian and Ma Le are ABSOLUTE HOMIES!!

Episode 10 thoughts:
2FL is a bit annoying, but her heartbreak feels so real and raw, that I cannot help but feel sad for her. Heck, when the ML threatens to sue her, I started crying alongside the girl.
With that being said, I do appreciate how the ML has iron-forged boundaries. He likes the FL and he does not give anyone else an inkling of a chance of winning him over. Hopefully the FL can be as gracious when they eventually start dating.
For anyone interested just some extra info, definitely I agree with this, no break up and their relationship is…
On the one hand, this: "also seeing fl go from cold to being so cute and romantic with ml was nice" sounds lovely! On the other hand, this: "but for a majority he is obsessive over fl, 2fl has a crush on 2ml who likes fl so that makes her toxic near the end" makes me want to go into a coma, so I appreciate the warning!
Shelving this temporarily as I think it got quite boring around episode 10/11. I wanted to see more of the leads together, but we get like 5 minutes at most of them per episode and the other 65 minutes are dedicated to the academy stuff. Not for me.
The South Korean education culture makes me feel insane. Children are supposed to learn and not act as prized…
Preach. Watching Korean dramas where education is prominent gives me so much anxiety. School life was not easy for me, but at least I did not have to deal with the hell that is the South Korean education system.
Hopefully I did not overlook this one on this list as it's not a new-new drama, but there's no breakup in The…
I started watching this thanks to your recommendation and I really, really like the couple. I love how much the FL giggles, smiles and laughs when interacting with the ML [in contrast with her super serious persona before the ML joined the academy and became a part of her life once more]. The ML is super sweet also and I like that he also smiles, laughs and giggles [there are way too many super serious MLs in dramas].
With that being said, on episode 10, the business side of the drama is starting to get boring to me. I also cannot stand looking at that Pyomon teacher's smug face lol.
Thanks to your comments I know yo skip every time SML shows on screen, and my life is better for it.
Just got to the part of the drama after the leads got married and the SML is all over the place, being a carbon copy of his crazy ass father. Not to mention the ML's demonic father is showing up again. As cute as the leads are, I am tempted to consider this drama "completed" and move on to the next one, the SML really annoys the hell out of me XD
A little thought about Mr. Bad [which is on this list of no break up dramas]:
There is a separation starting at the end of episode 18, which seems to last at least through the entirety of episode 19. The leads did not break up, what happened is that the ML disappeared during his and the FL's first kiss [fuck me for being excited for a cute moment, I guess]. So, it is technically not a break up, but personally, I feel very angsty right now and have no interest in watching one or more episodes of the leads being miserable, especially when there are only 5 episodes left, the leads were already not having a great time before their first kiss [because the ML learned he is a fictional character] and it already took like 15 episodes for them to get together. If this was a 35~40 episodes dramas, maybe my stance would be different.. I guess this is not as heartbreaking as that demonic break up in The First Frost, but I feel very frustrated, lol
This is a good drama but the fl’s face is weird and she play as FL no cannot her acting her face look so weird,…
FL certainly is not otherworldly pretty like say, the FL from The First Frost, but come on, she still is really really really pretty and cute! That said, everyone has their preferences and I too find one lead or another in a drama or another to be ugly or something, though I prefer to keep that to myself XD
Finally a FL who is also a successful person and even when ML helps her it doesn't feel like she wouldn't handle…
I like how the FL did not need to be saved by the ML from her creepy boss during that one party. She was willing to go to jail if it meant putting a fork in the creep's neck. With that being said, I like how the ML needless went to the creep later on and punched him in the face.
chang hui and ni nas chemistry was soo good i wish we saw them more. Does anyone have recommendations with couples…
I feel like the leads from The First Frost had similar chemistry, but mind you, that drama is quite heavy, especially compared to a nearly 0 angst drama like "You Are My Lover Friend".

FL: *summons Duan Jiaxu's past life thanks to fairy uncle*
Me: "Yep, that will do the trick!"
