Before I delve deep into things, and to break it out for you, this drama is but a pile of cliches and typical stuff that we have seen over and over in multiple dramas/series, so if you want to watch something fresh and completely out of the box, this series isn't for you. I personally love me cliches and traditional love stories, that is why I enjoyed this drama, hence if you're like me, give it a shot.
First off, the cast is amazing. I didn't have an issue with it, but when it comes to acting, I sometimes was thrown off by the unnecessary squawking or screeching to sound all cute and lovey-dovey. It was a little bit over the top for me. It would have been better if they minimized that a little.
Moving on to the plot, I understand that Zeng Li and Ai Jing Chu are the main characters, but it would have been swell if Deng Hao Ran and Ma Yi Yi had more time on screen because their story development was fast-paced. Out of nowhere, we learned that they dated in the past, which was so random and misleading, especially that I was rooting for them to be a new item the whole time. Moreover, as a librarian, I wanted to see many book-talk scenes, but none of that was a focus. It felt as if Zeng Li's profession was just an event to motivate the romance between her and Ai Jing Chu a little bit more. Now, when it comes to our second main couple, I couldn't point anything wrong with them, but boy, did they waste their time quarreling over whether or not to keep the baby! They barely got together because of the age gap between them, and I thought that's going to be it, Liu Yu Cheng won't struggle anymore about the age factor, but no, it got dragged even farther.
The major thing that I didn't like about this drama is something everybody is pointing out anyway, and it is viewing being 26 years old as being 30. There is a huge difference. Now, this wasn't mentioned once or twice, which led me to have a little bit of temper tension. I understand that when being 26, one feels as if they are nearing 30, but I don't want to be fed this kind of bullshit on television because it doesn't allow anyone to live and enjoy their actual age fully.
Concerning what I liked a lot in the drama, I found the dental treatment sessions done so well. I thought I would dread that stuff because it would be ugly to see someone's mouth and teeth being treated, but both Betty Wu and Bi Wen Jun were such naturals about it and made it look less awkward and disgusting.
This is mainly my review of the drama. It was a traditional romantic story with some faults here and there, but I still loved and enjoyed it. I would re-watch it even if I am craving some sweet romance.
