Too much jealousy
When I first started this drama, I thought the FL was so chill! But then later, she turned a bit irresponsible and not knowing what she wants.I guess the main thing that I didn't like about this show was how jealous and clingey the characters are. I mean, if the FL even interacts with another male, like for work, the ML starts pouting. I like it when the ML's strong, and I also like shows where there is even a little bit of trust between the OTP.
I did still watch this to the end, despite all the annoyances I kept getting. I'm not sure why, though.... hmm.
The OST is okay, but it felt kind of scattered. Perhaps it was influenced by my poor opinion of the show itself.
The actors/actresses may or may not have done a good job - I couldn't really tell, since I hated their characters so much.

Absolutely enjoyable
I really enjoyed this one! Now, to break it down:The plot was okay. I found it a little boring, like it didn't move that much, but the other elements more than made up for it. And also, I got the feeling that, for this show, the destination isn't what's important, it's the journey.
The comedy was absolutely on point. I laughed so many times while watching this, so thank you, show, for providing me with so many lighthearted moments!
The actors did so well. I've watched Zhao Lusi before (in fact, she's actually the reason why I watched this show), and she did a marvelous job as always. It was my first time watching Ding Yu Xi, but he did a great job as well. His expressions were just 😂
I didn't really like the OST, but that's just my personal preference of not enjoyed ancient China music.

Super sweet drama
This drama is the kind of show one watches when they just want something happy. It gives off similar vibes to When I Fly Towards You, except this show felt more modern and vibrant.First of all, I loved how respectful the FL's brother's friends were to the FL! And also how protective her brother is of her... it's just so sweet.
Second, though there are some misunderstandings that happen between the OTP sometimes, it doesn't last for long, and there definitely isn't any cheating or love triangle involved. That was so refreshing to me after watching tons of dramas where the FL has to literally fight off other ladies just to get the ML.
Third, this is a she falls first but he falls harder love story... which is one of my favorite tropes!
Okay, moving on the OST - this is quite possibly the best OST I have ever heard. I have high standards when it comes to music, and let me just say, this matched my standards perfectly.
I would definitely recommend that y'all give this show a try! You won't regret it :)

Good but has an explicit scene
The actors are so good for this! I love watching Xu Kai and Tan Songyun. But the story wasn't that great, because there was a flash-explicit scene. The OST is super good, and I've been listening to it over and over... it seems less modern somehow, more nostalgic. The whole show has a nostalgic vibe, now that I think about it.The aesthetic isn't really vibrant (it's a far stretch from Xu Kai's other modern drama, Falling Into Your Smile). It's more based on muted tones, mostly corporate. I didn't really enjoy that, but it seemed to fit with the story somehow.

Great mix of mystery and romance
I really liked the characters for this one, as well as the OST! It's a shame there are only 5 songs in the OST... oh well, guess I'll have to search for more.The plot was new to me, and it was honestly really interesting, although I've heard people say that the plot isn't the strongest. While I was watching it, I personally thought the plot was strong enough, but I did end up with some questions that were unanswered.
I love how the story focuses on so many aspects -- life of an author, life of a CEO, life of a personal assistant, the FL's backstory, the ML's backstory, surviving trauma, writing a mystery book, writing a romance book, and so much more!
This is one of my favorite dramas, and I'd definitely recommend that you give it a try!

Best cdrama I've ever watched!
This drama was so good... where do I begin?Well, let's start with the cast. Xu Kai played the role of cold and closed-up perfectly, and Cheng Xiao played her part well too! Apart from our two main leads, this show had so many pretty actors and actresses - there's even Zhou Yi Ran from When I Fly Towards You!
Next, the OST. The OST for this show has an urgent and gaming vibe. You'll know what I mean when you listen to it, but I found it really addictive and inspiring at the same time! I just wish there were more...
There's no drama without a story! The story/plot was designed really well. Each of the characters had their own character development, but it wasn't the cringey type of "oh, I'm discovering myself" or any of that. They were going through real issues, and I loved how they helped each other through high and through low.
Now, for the props: this whole show was soooo colorful, I loved it. It was vibrant where it needed to be, and I really saw the 4k quality come through, compared to other shows where I felt like I was watching a show filmed 20 years ago.
All in all, I would definitely recommend that you watch this! There are no explicit scenes, though there are some kissing scenes. The characters are all very respectful towards one another, in a found family sort of way.

So sweet and cute
I loved loved loved this one. Here's why:The FL was so cute without being cringe at all! I've watched a few dramas where the FL is like over the top sweet, and it just seems so weird, but Zhang Miao Yi played the part of Su Zai Zai perfectly. Zhou Yi Ran was also so handsome in this drama... I think it's his best drama.
As far as the plot goes... the first few episodes were harder to get through because of the military setting. I almost gave up on this show, but I'm glad I didn't! Once they got back to school, I was completely hooked.
I loved how supportive the characters all are of each other, as well as Guan Fang's relationship with his grandma!
The OST -- wow. I've listening to this on repeat for so many days, I don't think I can get over it 💖
I would definitely recommend this drama, especially if you've watched Hidden Love and enjoyed it. They're really similar -- they both are sweet, no jealous or cheating drams, although When I Fly Towards You is a bit more nostalgic in feel.
