EARLY REVIEW -
Let me start off by saying I am loving the show so far....There is nothing wrong with it. I love the pace, love the cinematography. Love how good the dialogue is and how realistic the scenes are. The story is intriguing and chemistry is more than what I could ask for.

But hear me out, I have a problem with the characterizations. Especially the FL. She seems a bit..2D. The initial scenes where she books a hotel and says "I'm the mature one" made me think I have a lot to look forward to, only to be disappointed by what happened in almost every scene afterwards. She seems like a pretty, rich, protected girl who couldn't get a thing done on her own or have a thought of her own. I genuinely don't see her taking a decision about anything. She seems like the girl who acts pretty dumb and leads on every single guy and accepts every other act of love, only to leave them in the end for a better option. She verbally never confirmed the relation, whereas the poor ML flaunts her as his girlfriend everywhere he goes. When her friend asks "How is it gonna work long distance" she pretty much says "she didn't think about it" which is idk something a clueless school girl would say. She has no idea where it is going and mind you she is at a point in her life where she is figuring out her career.

I have some irks about the ML too. Like how has he never approached a girl before but brings his A game to the table? He almost acts cocky, like a person must have lived with a girl to gain such kind of confidence with those
I have watched till Episode 8 and my reaction started to change too.

Yes, it has been mostly nice so far but I am having trouble with the fact that they show the main leads as one-true-love but but… there is no strong basis for any of it. The leads have barely talked to each other. There has not been one decent conversation between them on ANY topic.

It still feels too ‘young love’ to me where it is all about chemical attraction. Why do you both like other so much? First couple of episodes, I was okay with it but in episode 7-8, the guy is constantly trying to touch her (which okay.. I get that you are madly attracted to her… and she seems into you) but she keeps running away and ya all have not really talked about ANYTHING. Please try to actually have a conversation.

Also, the guy is supposed to be shy and severe and the girl, too young and inexperienced but they are 27 and 21. Not that young. It is a bit hard to watch them behave like teenagers. It feels a bit inconsistent.

I think I would have even been okay if there wasn’t the constant…’I can’t help but lean in to try to kiss you’!

FINAL REVIEW -
A very qualified and sweet modern drama, I feel it's surpassing even the sweetness portrayed in the novel.

Especially the male lead Wu Lei, embodies my ideal type with his starry eyes, and captivating jawline, despite his youthfulness, he exudes a strong sense of masculinity.

Both leads deliver very stable performances that are both sweet and convincing. The plot avoids excessive melodrama and unnecessary separations to ensure audience satisfaction; it is a very decent drama.

Particularly noteworthy is Wu Lei's transformation into a truly sexy and charming character as he matures throughout the drama. His tender affectionate gaze towards the female lead deeply immerses me in their love story! He portrays an enamored boyfriend who longs for possession of his beloved woman.
