A sweet little story made special by the amazing chemistry between the lead actors. Shou Yi & Shi De’s story is, well, it’s nothing original, really. But thanks to the actors, it feels like something more, they honestly elevate the whole thing.

And then there are the things like Shi De’s mother who’s absolutely amazing. The fact that Shou Yi is half-Japanese and they cast a half-Japanese actor so the blend between his Chinese and Japanese is seamless, when he switches between the languages (mainly when he’s startled or emotional), it doesn’t feel forced. Then there’s the intrigue with Shou Yi’s father, introduced in the last episode as an appetizer for what’s to come in S2. And Shi De’s cousin and his emotional issues - and his lost love...

There’s a lot that works for this drama, considering it’s just 6 barely 30 min. episodes. It’s definitely worth it.
