this drama is for the friends to lovers x slowburn type of girlies!


two genres incorporated in one drama so well. i love how it was slowburn bc it actually showed how much the fl has grown as an individual person. although they were friends since birth, it did not hinder the fl from liking other people which was so realistic bc it showed that her (love) life did not entirely revolve around her childhood friend. she was still very much capable of liking other people and not sickingly stuck with one person. the slowburn may not be for everyone, but it was definitely NEEDED! i agree that there were some fillers that contributed nothing to the progression of the plot, but it was still something i enjoyed.

For the cast, i felt like a proud mom when i saw jun, mannn. since this is his first time acting again after svt debut, i actually lowered my expectations a little; however, he continuously exceeded more than what i've expected of him. he def still needs to take steps forward on acting, but he did well nonetheless. i wish he would get more acting projects after this, preferably those that would showcase his versatility.
zhang miao yi delivered like she always does. she embodied xiao tu so well. also, idc what anyone says, i love the second couple.
