My first Kdrama as a Cdrama lover and i'm loving it!
Overview:My first kdrama as a cdrama lover and omg I love this! One of the best dramas I’ve ever watched- 10/10 highly recommended.
Pros:
• Well laid out plot and pace- doesn’t get draggy at any point (prolly the first drama in which I haven’t watched even a single second on 2x 😅)
• Beautiful and captivating story
• Great actors/ actresses- acting/ chemistry/ speech delivery/ kisses etc
• Sound effects/ humour doesn’t feel forced (just the right amount and its such a vibe- refer to p.s.)
• 2nd lead’s got a really nice plot too (for a comparatively shorter kdrama- 12 ep only)
• Genuine friendship portrayed- very healing to watch
• Great and supportive side characters too
• Spoiler: the archaeopteryx sound effects are killing me 😂
• Loved the music <3
Cons:
I really cant think of any :)
• if I HAD to add something- prolly the main leads kisses: mostly cute and healing kisses not as good as you would expect a lead couple to kiss (second lead’s definitely made up for that tho- I finally found that viral kiss and guess what, it isn’t even the main leads kiss 🙃)
Summary:
Awesome drama with zero unnecessarily draggy plots or love triangles: very healing and hilarious too- 1000/10 must watch!!
Additional P.S.
My first kdrama was actually “What’s Wrong with Secretary Kim” but the sound effects and ML’s “auraaa” sorta got on my nerves before I eventually dropped it mid 2nd episode- sorry not sorry :)
Additional rant btw sorry if it was sorta rude 💙

Objective Review (i support the FL)
Overview:Very good drama overall, would recommend watching it.
Pros:
• awesome main leads- chemistry/ acting/ kisses etc
• peak dress fashion (unlike most recent costume dramas)
• strong FL (one of my biggest turn on’s in a drama)
• concrete story (not just putting together 3 love triangles with a vague plot)
• enemies to lovers
• well laid out pace and plot (doesn’t feel rushed or too slow)
• handsome male actors, beautiful females
• pretty convincing happy ending (personally I was worried for a happy ending given how the plot was developed but they did a good job)
• major plot twists- very juicy and interesting 😋
• nice fighting scenes (not just posing with a weapon)
• antagonists acted really well too
Cons:
• The SFL was a legit pain in the ass to watch- extremely irrational and irritating (spoiler: she had trauma ok, but, still a damn freak TT)
• SML’s character was heavily sacrificed to support the main leads story- general drama plot but a quick heads up :)
• Spoiler: cousin’s family of FL can be a bit infuriating (ironically comical too) but honestly MUCH better than the SFL
• Spoiler: the antagonist was seriously blinded with love (I didn’t quite like the part but yea, much more bearable than the SFL)
My advice:
• First time watch: might wanna watch the SFL and FL’s cousins parts on 2x
• Second or more watch: god damn skip that SFL 💀 (me when I rewatch.)
Summary:
Barring the SFL (she does do a good thing here and there but it honestly far overshadows the bad she does) its an excellent drama overall.

Excellent drama for a short watch
OverviewExcellent drama for a short watch, highly recommended
Pros:
• Awesome chemistry between ML/FL- acting/ kisses etc
• SML/ SFL were really good and supportive friends (fun element of the drama too)
• Nice plot with quite unique (atleast not so common) elements- for example: the couple game show etc
• Loved all the songs <3
Cons:
• Short drama with quite a lot of sub plots, made a few parts feel rushed but they weren’t that bad either
• SFL can be a bit extra at times but its again a pretty normal trait for a SL
• Second leads story was sorta rushed and unnecessary imo (they just wanted to add a sad element?)
Summary
• Typical high school love that transcends into work place love
• 10/10 excellent drama overall!

Sweet drama
Overview:Awesome drama, must watch!
Pros:
• Nice chemistry between ML/ FL and SML/SFL- acting/ kisses etc
• No love triangles- the FL’s pursuer was so cute even <3 (best part about sports dramas tbh)
• More of a cute, soft and wholesome drama- wifty typa vibes (no offense just for comparison)
• Goal oriented characters (really inspiring imo)
• Teaches valuable life lessons (main leads don’t always win 1st place)
• Loved the Meng brothers (FL’s cousins: SML- Meng Xiadong and Meng Xiaotian)
• Very nice friendship portrayed between ML and his friends
• Awesome songs- I even learnt to play Love and Shine 💙
Cons:
I really cant think of any :)
Personal views:
I started the drama because of Wang Xing Yue (SML), first time watching the FL, but, trust me all the actors are so good at what they do. Main leads, second leads, supporting actors, everyone!
(personal favourite supporting characters: the 30 y/o lady who took FL to her billiard exploration initially, billiard room owner where ML has a personal table and Milo- omg I love that girl TT)
Summary
10/10 highly recommended!
