boredom to the max
Nothing really happens in this drama, just the good-looking ML and FL walking to and fro while doing some annoying product placement - it's not even available in my area for God's sake! To summarize, it's just a looooooooooooooong commercial with a VERY - and i mean VERY - thin plot.About the office romance, i happen to watch something similar, Love Is Sweet, and im getting confused with these two, since they r both as unremarkable.
If you have a lot of time, you can check this while looking for something that matters.

average and boring
This drama is proof of wasted potential. Nice actors, decent plot, not short on budget... BUT everything is too slow paced and nonsensical. Everything looks fake - actors' clothes are always neat and fashionable, so are the interiors, the romance is dull, most characters are rich and doing big business etc. I suspect chinese dramas make excessive use of filters since everybody has that white flawless complexion paired with anorexical bodies.It's more like a long - way too long - commercial to promote China tourism.

i wanted to like this
Though released in the recent years, this drama seems quite old - old in spirit! It's too far from reality to be even considered seriously, relying on incredulous and never-ending coincidences, like the businessman becoming a special rescue officer just like this? A female surgeon living in the middle of the forest and sharing the house with the said businessman for pure coincidence? Both the ML and FL being traumatic and discovering the healing power of nature? The female police also being - accidentally - an old acquaintance to our surgeon? Everybody is single & willing too?? Plsssss this is too tropey to be saved!As someone who lived close to nature as a child, i'd also say that the imagery of the forest is not done right. It should've conveyed much more! Sadly, it fails to capture its unique beauty.
The pace is slow, i keep skipping a lot.
The director lacks a sense of humour, the very few funny scenes are awkward.
Add to this, the inability of adult intellectual people to recognize love and admit to it... like love is some kind of eternal teens' joke.
Too long for me to promise i'll watch till the end.

is this a joke?
Nothing to complain abt acting, but the plot is so immature, like a high-schooler's diary. Everything seems to take place in the family's living-room... It must be very low budget! Conveniently the ML gets paired with the adopted sibling, and the real sibling falls for the only family friend and also business partner. Just a drama abt 4 people! Not to mention they are all rich & famous, after rising from rags due to being genius or something! The ML becomes an IT graduate and businessman as an orphan while raising two younger siblings. The adopted brother is also a top student. The "dumb" sister becomes a well-known actress over night etc. The setting for this is literally an average house, too big to be realistic as an orphans' house, and too small for 3 accomplished adults.Some side actions and characters are unnecessary, like the handsome doctor and the second fight with the gangsters.
This mini drama is saved by the excellent actors - special mention to the child actors!
Just watching out of boredom.

here comes the shining knight
This is really endearing and fluffy... Dont bother abt logic much! Everyone is a young successful professional, even hardships are there just to be challenged etc. Coincidences are TOO MUCH: in the big China, what chances are to bump into the same guy at work place, sleeping place, leisure place... over and over again (im saying it for the second couple as well)??The young actors are totally eye candy and pleasant watch. Still the FL being so short while the ML is so tall looks cringey af. Why do the ML's have to be the tallest in dramas? Is this really what matters? Also the FL is not the best choice out there. The SFL is all abt exposing legs while pretending not to care. Yeah, we are dumb!
The trope of "fate created during childhood" doesnt appeal much to me... But perhaps some other watchers like it!? For god's sake, my life totally moved on, im NOT looking for a sweetheart from kindergarten! I WAS NOT a hero at 9 yrs, does this mean i'm not loveable??
The ML is hot - but dont get carried away, there is little to zero skinship... It's all abt teasing and flirting.
These being said, its totally relaxing and fluffy. Not dropping it (yet).

way too cheesy
Sadly, im dropping this at ep. 5, i cannot take it anymore, there is really no plot and no action, just two guys probing each other in the cheesiest way possible! A lot of unnecessary staring, music-fillers or whatever, BUT action! It's like 5-yrs boys star in this.Though the ML is gorgeous, i cannot take it anymore.

cheesy but nice cast
Just one more time Cinderella story... A poor but pretty college student - our FL - meets a rich handsome strong Prince Charming and they keep clearing misunderstandings and fall in love more and more. The FL is always in distress and needs to be saved, but the ML or his childhood friend - who accidentally bumped into the FL out of all - are always there ready to oblige. The ML gave a bad boy vibe at first, but sadly the idea got dropped later.The movie is full of tropes, but well executed, to the point you end up not noticing them. You can tell where the drama is headed from the start, so it gets kinda boring, though the slow flow is quite nice and realistic.
I reached half of the drama and nothing really happens, except for college life scenes.
I dont know why im watching this, i really miss a good lakorn full of drama in every episode.

cringey & fake
the english title is retarded - but very suited.a fast- paced drama - way too fast to be considered serious, very Kristino Olsen style lol. everything abt the plot is wrong and cringey: a man in his 40s hitting on a girl 20 yrs younger, mother and daughter loving the same guy, the daughter kinda stealing him from mom - who loved the ML for half of her life, then the drunk sex that leads to pregnancy?
no conflict whatsoever - just two ppl trying to come to an agreement after a drunken night together.
no chemistry - the FL herself is calling the ML "old man", and it says it all!
i have nothing against age gap movies, but they could've adjusted the context to make it happen gradually or something. though Pong is a fine actor, he totally shows his age in this drama. he looks bored!! the FL is pretty, but her acting skills need improvement. also, smelling the vanilla pod and talking vanilla and drinking vanilla - flavoured alcohol is not cute at all, is just abusing an old trope. who wrote this, a girl going through puberty?

watching it again!
This drama is so sweet and fluffy, refreshing and light-hearted, that i just cannot stop revisiting it! It's not realistic in the traditional sense - but who in his/her right mind expects realism in the world of drama?I mean, how can it possibly happen for a petite girl to become the captain of an all-male ice hockey team? Really! Still the actors are so handsome and funny, the story so engaging, that it doesnt matter if its crazy or not. Even the side stories are nice - if you can spare time for them, because we have, beside the 1st couple, the 2nd couple, the 3rd couple, even the 4th couple (that is, the FL's brother, the FL's friend, the ML's cousin etc). I admit i skipped a lot through these.
The ML and FL are both very good-looking and their story is sweet (did i repeat the word sweet?) with a lot of love games. So much fun to watch!

not for me
I knew this is not for me the moment i saw men flying on their swords, or spewing fire through the fingertips, and stone statues angrily walking around... I think you gotta be a certain age to fully enjoy this fantasy world - wuxia i think they call it.These being said, i totally understand the hype around this drama: its strongest point is undoubtedly the acting. All actors/ actresses are young and handsome, the plot is there, some inspirational moments happen too...
The special effects are top notch! In fact, the entire production is fantabulous!
Still, my fav dramas have to lie to me more convincingly.

you wont regret watching this
It's a shorter drama than others, but you dont get the feeling that it's too short or flimsy... The story and characters - a misunderstood bully falling for his victim - are incredibly nuanced and the illusion of life is there. I liked almost every bit of the drama. Of course, the young actors are such cuties. Totally a fun ride.The last episode though is weird... I'm not sure what the director was thinking, but i guess he/she tried to make love not a sexual thing, and loving same gender not a sexual matter, but a matter of the heart - which is not realistic, but perhaps idealistic - in a wrong way i'd say. I personally refuse to buy this idea that many BL dramas are trying to promote, that any straight person can fall in love with someone regardless of gender... It's so not true, acting against your biological instinct will never make you happy!
Otherwise a very good drama.

Pong rediscovered himself
...Or some wise director rediscovered Pong. Because this veteran actor, who i'm a fan of, never looked better. His acting is glorious, and so are his looks - he totally looks no older than 30. How did that happen? I've wondered for a bit but decided that i dont care, he just looks young and handsome and totally into the character...The FL is good enough, nothing spectacular, nothing to blame in particular. It's the ML who carries the show. The secondary cast is spot on, though - again - nothing remarkable. Maybe a mention for the villain.
The lakorn is back!! The old tropes - girl in debt, misunderstandings, saving the girl, macho man etc - are all here, but they are done beautifully. Modern touch? Of course, but in a shallow way... We still get the same wrist-grabbing and woman abuse and primary vs secondary wife, but who cares? We're here for the tropes! Less angst than expected though.
Dont expect realism - our heroes fall off the cliff and not a single hair is out of place! And they wake up to a tropical paradise too, with food, water, fire, a knife (!) and love-making...
I enthusiastically give this a 10 !

not a bit boring
Despite the slow pace and plain action, this drama is not boring at all, being so beautifully filmed. The actors are handsome and the acting is flawless, no more no less than it should be. Though nothing spectacular happens here, its quite pleasant to watch. This drama falls under a tag that must be created asap, that is "falling in love after approaching someone with ulterior motive and repenting".My only objection is that the last episodes took the quarrel too far... Why take it to a point of no return?
I might rewatch this sunny story one day.

better than better!
One excellent short drama that keeps most of the japanese trademarks! You know it's something different, quite fresh and entertaining, though you recognize some old tropes there - but they totally melt into the original approach.The actors are brilliant, the plot is good. We get a charming endearing mature woman falling for a determined and charismatic teen ML, though she is presented with a love offer from her first love, now a mature businessman... Everything is so nuanced - in a tender manner - that you cant but sympathize with ALL the characters. The past and the present blend in a healing story.
Such a nice watch!

uplifting love-story
This BL short series is totally carried by the farmer ML, who is unbeatable at acting like a big - really big - teddy bear. He looks so childish, innocent and silly that you cannot help falling for him when he pouts and makes those puppy eyes!The landscape is totally idyllic too, very refreshing.
The plot is there, though quite thin.
Watch it and enjoy!
