Plot 🗯️🗯️
Our golden retriever protagonist duang one day locks eye with the misterious qin and decides to win his heart no matter what.
On the other hand qin looks really cold and distant. Will he fall into duang's love trap?

This drama is the cutest shit you'll ever see. Duang is the quintessential golden retriever boy. He is lovable, funny, cute and unbearably cringe. He is also very stupid but with a heart of gold. Just watching the drama to see his shanenigans on screen Is worth it.

On the other hand with have qin which is the classical cold, cool guy. He is a musician and a very popular student among his peers.
Even though they are a stereotypical pair they work quite well together and complement each other.

The drama🗯️🗯️
The show starts on a very silly note but it gets way more emotional towards the end. I didn't expect to find such depth in something that appeared so shallow and just fun to watch.
Duang pursuit of qin is a blast to watch but seeing how they are able to really understand each other and support each other was wonderful and even touching sometimes.
They start by just locking eyes (sort of) but end up in a very profound relationship that brings them to heal past wounds.

Stuff I did like✅
Duang: I just love him. His character is fun, cute, lovely, caring. I could go on and on, but the best part is definitely the actor! He is really talented, switching from playful to deeply moving. I was amazed.

Duang's friends group: they are a very important part of duang's life and over all lovely characters. They supportive, caring. Something you wish to have in real life.

Qin's back story: I really like that the show explored why qin is the way he is. It added depth to his "cool" persona.

Stuff I didn't like❌
Qin: as much as I loved duang's actor, I cannot say the same for qin. I am definitely not a fan of this actor. At the very beginning he basically looks like a dihydrate fish always keeping his mouth open and looking lost. Later on his acting gets better, but especially in emotional scenes I felt he lacked the skills to be honest.

Lack of other stories: I don't know why, but the drama tries to insert Jamie's love story. To be honest I didn't care about that dynamics. It felt boring and unnecessary especially because no other characters get explored on any level.
If you want to insert another dynamic just do it right.

Duang's backstory: as much as I loved this character, duang doesn't exist outside of qin or his friends dynamics. He has no backstory, struggles or ambitions outside of qin. He is the main protagonist but also works as the comic relief. I wished they gave more depth to him.

Last episode: felt totally unnecessary. I loved how sweet they were to each other during the whole drama but reaching the end, I couldn't take anymore "I love you so much, I'll never leave etc". They just added random stuff like the dog or the last concert. For me, they could have ended things before their trip to Japan. There weren't any loose threads that needed to be pulled.

In conclusion:
I highly recommend this drama if you are looking for cute stuff and some emotional moments.
