Well-packaged, glossy fluff

This is the best kind of fluff done right. There are no real twists and turns in the plot, instead we get every single rom-com trope gently offered to us on a very nicely-laid tray. The two leads have already established good rapport in Put Your Head On My Shoulder so they have a natural easy chemistry. Daddi Tang has really upped the game in terms of on-screen kissing in Asian dramas - no innocent pecks on the cheek here! Still, his super-talented, super handsome and highly values-driven doctor role here is actually a bit one dimensional (not his fault!). In many ways, the whole show is a bit like this - we see two hardworking, smart and good looking people living in very nice apartments in a nice city driving nice cars with nice families supporting them and nice colleagues. This makes for a relaxed and mostly enjoyable watch, but it's almost a bit too nice for me. In saying that, it was good to see the progression of the two leads in their acting careers, as this was a step up from their performances in PYHOMS.

As a really nice bonus (and what saved the show a bit for me) the second couple have a much more interesting back story. They are flawed characters, which makes them more human and more believable to root for. So often the second couple in Asian dramas can be mediocre, boring or very annoying. However in this show their story is far more complicated, providing more tension and anticipation, which made them outshine the leads in some ways. I sometimes found myself wanting to skip through the main couple's parts to get to their juicier ones - ironic!

Was this a creative show? Not really. Life-changing? Definitely not. Would I recommend it? If you're after a feel-good breezy love story with good actors, good chemistry and high-end production budget (read: glossy), then yes watch it!
