Good acting with good chemistry, memorable characters, average scenario
The story could've been better with 16–20 episodes, the soft-cute vibes should keep on it; most of us like this drama because of this feeling, it's not a revolutionary drama with a unique story, but the biggest reason is that everyone likes it; feeling good dramas are my favorite, and the first 16 and last 4 episodes did this very well, but the other episodes were meh. But I'm not going to drop a lot of ratings because of this because I enjoyed this drama.Yanyue's podcasts' screen time becomes shorter and shorter with each episode, when the best part of the drama was his monologues, his worlds about the world, and his parallels between reel life and movies.
Two memorable OSTs and three memorable characters People are going to call this cliche but will go watch a wuxia or school drama with cliche stories, rom-coms are their punching bag.

What an unforgettable journey!
I started this drama because of Winwin and Wang Xingyue, but I had no hope because the reviews about the drama were so harsh. But after starting the drama and ignoring the hate comments, I realized the hate came from nowhere because the drama was getting better in every episode, especially after episode 20. This drama became so addictive. The first couple's story started very strong, but after the first half, it became so tiring to follow their story. If their story was more interesting in the second half, this drama could be close to perfect for me. Also, the second sister having no separate episodes for herself is so sad. I would love to see how she married her husband; I bet her mother just married her because that guy is rich, so she suffered with her husband.
The third sister story felt so bland; they got most episodes, but still, their story didn't build very well. I wish they had made it more interesting; if the actors were different, no one would care about the third couple story. Wang Xingyue and Lu Yuxiao really carried the characters on their shoulders.
The fourth sister story was the most well balanced story in the drama; it had a lot of material and was done very well, and the chemistry between actors made it extra good. They are definitely my favorite couple.
The fifth couple story was fun, but in the second half they suffered Yang Xian for no reason. He already had his character development; I would like to see him bonding with his sister or seeing more cute moments between him and Mama Li and his son in a low alliance. Leshan scolded him, but her family was the ones who sent him. Make it make sense. Yang Xian and Haode, for me, were the most well-built characters of the drama. Winwin might be my favorite Chinese idol who turned actor after this performance; he played an opposite character very well.
Madam Li also wasn't annoying; she was aggressive, but that was the only way to live in a man-dominated era; she was just protecting her daughters. I wish she treated Fuhui better and not ignored her, but she is a human and has flaws, so I can ignore this.
It was a perfect journey. I will miss all of them so much.
