My Thoughts:

It was a well-planned drama. Has an interesting concept and I love the soundtracks a lot. It was a cute drama with not that much angst. It was more of emotional conflict than physical conflict. No kidnapping or hits. The characters are the focus. Their expressions, their words, their actions. You can't escape cliches so there are predicted cliches in here. Overall, a great drama. Great to watch.

Great chemistry. Side characters also liven up the story with their humor. Development of the story was nice and well thought. In conclusion, a very good drama. Total Recommend! Even the OST is nice.

My Thoughts:

A totally hilarious and fun drama. Currently my number one Taiwanese Drama, it has a great way of attracting its audience. Rewatch it and the feeling is still there. Though at few points, it could have depressing scenes but the comedy it provides weighs more than those scenes in the scale. A good drama to start watching. Cute romance too.
