So, I started watching this after He Yu's role in Speed and Love. I just gotta say: his role and character is completely different in this drama. Here, he's the little golden retriever type of boy constantly trying to pursue the woman he loves. Hair theory is truly a thing though after I watched this drama. Not to say that he didn't look good here but I like his hair a lot better in Speed and Love. I do like that He Yu can play these very different roles, though. He masters both of them so well. This drama was very similar to Find Yourself in a way, which is why I wasn't amazed at it. I didn't like how the FL kept on pulling herself away and acting cold, when a wonderful man was right beside her. However, I do think this drama is better than Find Yourself in the pacing and length of drama. 29 episodes is good enough for this plot because any longer, it would start to drag on. I also noticed that even though I couldn't binge this whole drama, once I started watchig a few episodes at a time, I couldn't stop. So, I watched this drama in like segments of like bingeing 3 episodes at a time. I don't know though. It wasn't like a drama that I was super invested in, I kind of played it in the background of doing other things, iykwim. The ending was great, overall, it was a decent watch. But, it wasn't like a drama that I will constantly think about every day.

Through just their 1st meeting, I can already see the comfort that Lu Zheng An gives Lin Yang. The minute they hugged, Lin Yang melted into his arms and started crying. "I care for him because he cares for me." "She is my bottom line." Even if they don't both admit it, they are each other's most important person and everyone can see that. In the back of their minds, they will always care about the wellbeing of the other person. Li Tian is actually one of the most annoying and delusional characters. Since the first episode bro, causing messes for no reason. I loved the scene after Li Tian and Lin Yang fought in the office and Lin Yang told Lu Zheng An that she wanted to walk alone, but he followed her always like 5 steps behind. I lied, take that back. Halfway through the drama, Li Tian actually becomes an understanding and respectful person. After admitting that there is no chance between her and Lu Zheng An, Li Tian became a likeable person.

Lu Zheng An is such a nice guy towards Lin Yang. When watching the drama, I sometimes forget that he's 7 years younger. He's a good caretaker. Knows how to cook, clean, and care for a person emotionally as well. But she keeps on pushing away. Ugh...I know why she's pushing but I wish she wouldn't. FINALLY!! Episode 14 and Lin Yang realized how important Lu Zheng An is to her and how much love and care he has for her. He even made his Moments private to share his thoughts throughout life all these years with Lin Yang only. All those posts and messages were directly for her only.

UGHHH...Their dating arc was so cuteeee. Lu Zheng An and Lin Yang having to hide it from the public, but Lu Zheng An not being discreet at all. I loved it, there were so many cute moments and sweet encounters between the two of them.

I think the reason that the age difference doesn't bother me in this drama is because I can't really see it. Lu Zheng An is so mature and knows how to care for Lin Yang perfectly. Although he may act goofy sometimes, he still helps her plenty. He cooks, cleans, cares for her when she's drunk, and emotionally helps her to open up. Not that only that, but he helps her friends too. He fully immerses himself in his life and tries to make it happier and easier for her, which is exactly what a bf should do. So, personally, the age gap isn't shown through their actions and it doesn't bother me at all.

HAHHAAHH!!! What a dirty mind they both have. When they were sitting on the couch in episode 20 and all the movies/shows that popped up on the TV reminded them of *that*. Like, even a rocket or like a dam that was pushing out water got them both flustered ash. And then after they did some not very sibling-like activities. I should have seen it coming. Although I gotta say, that scene was pretty graphic for a cdrama. Usually, they just cut it and skip to the after part, but it was pretty graphic is all I gotta say.

I love how they dealt with the public exposure and that whole conflict. Both of them have been so confident and secure in their relationship, always fighting for the other. Lin Yang and Lu Zheng An fufilled the promise of not giving up on each other. Ugh, I love Lu Zheng An's dad. He understands and has always supported their love and then giving his hard earned money to solve the issue. Aw...Lu Zheng An crying and then the dad saying "Bring my daughter-in-law back." I loved that sentence. I love the moms too later on, once they understand the whole relationship and start realizing how good of a situation this is. I'm so glad there wasn't a brbeak up or last minute misunderstanding. That would've actually made me crash out. Both of them are trying to protect the other and you can blatantly see it. Especially loved when both families agreed to their relationship and were even happy about it. Their families are the most important parts of their lives, so the fact that they all agree and hide nothing makes it so much less stressful.

Awww....I loved the ending of this drama. It was so reassuring and closing for everyone. Every single character grew into a better person and found their own path in life. I especially love the proposal scene with Lu Zheng An and the slideshow that was playing of all the people that he loved in his life. It was really wholesome and sweet. Also, I love the full circle moment with Lin Yang's child and Cao Ling's child as well. It's just like the same dynamic that Lu Zheng An and Lin Yang had, except those children are only 5 years apart. It makes it seem like this story is just beginning and never ending.
