This series is excellent. It engaged me emotionally and had me rooting for the main couple throughout the whole show. If you want to watch something positive, where the leads respect each other and treat each other well, this is for you.

The Good Stuff

The production was excellent. Nice visuals, well done sound.

The story line was, relatively, believable. The trauma was there, but not so bad that you had the feeling this would never happen to anyone IRL.

The acting was good all around. The FL was incredibly good! She is a very talented and natural actor. Watching her you never get the feeling you are watching a TV series - rather you are just observing a slice of someone's life. I think Zi Yan brings us one of the top performance by an Asian drama FL that I have seen. I think the ML and the FL's father were also great.

The lead couple's chemistry was off the charts. It might not have been the intense, sexual chemistry you see in American dramas, but they (in the good times) were so sweet together and so relaxed and comfortable with each other, that you will root for them all the way. And you'll also wish you could be in such a relationship.

The writing was very good. There was some great, witty dialog. There was some heartfelt compassionate dialog.

They gave us a wedding! In so many shows the story stops before the wedding or they skip ahead to the future and never show the wedding. So kudos to the writers for a wedding!

The Sub-Optimal

I hate love triangles, and this show had two. But compared to many other Asian dramas, these love triangle were not too bad. They didn't add a ton of tension for too long a time. But as if often the case, the second male lead was a selfish jerk given he knew the main couple's feelings for each other.

The story might be a it slow for some folks, although the pacing worked very well for me.

Mild Spoilers Not all the story lines were wrapped up nicely. I'd like to have seen one of the second couple's get back together. (But not the other second couple - they guy was a jerk.) I would like to have seen another character find someone to love.

Overall a great show. I give it a 9/10 since it is really good, if not perfect.

This is a really well crafted, slow burn, very realistic story of how two adults become friends then slowly get to know each others before becoming lovers.

It treats the audience rationally and respectfully.

No melodramas, makjang, or dramatic plots.

It feels very down to earth and realistic.

Makes me feel that it could happen to me too.

The only unrealistic thing about this drama is that gu wei is too good looking.

No doctor is that handsome in real life.

Recommended for those intelligent viewers.

Those who loves dramatic, makjang syoryline wont like this.

This drama is really beautiful, just watched for few episodes, and I already love it. Zhi Xiao's family story is very touching. And I love the cold Dr. Gu! He is very understanding, aaaaaaaaa.

Overall, all the actors/actress potrayed the character so well.

It skillfully weaves together romance, growth, and the power of connection into a captivating narrative. This series stands as a shining example of how a well-crafted storyline and compelling characters can create an unforgettable viewing experience.

What truly sets this apart is its commitment to character development. The growth of the protagonists is portrayed with nuance and care, allowing audiences to witness their transformation as individuals. The challenges they face serve as catalysts for personal growth, and their journeys inspire viewers to reflect on their own paths.

The drama also strikes a harmonious balance between heartwarming moments and thought-provoking themes. It explores the importance of family, friendship, and the pursuit of one's dreams with sensitivity, adding layers of depth to the narrative.

With its engaging characters, well-crafted plot, and genuine portrayal of love's many facets, this drama leaves an indelible mark on the heart.

This drama is sweet, fun, smooth and romantic. If you joy love stories you'll like it! If you need relax, you will. The main leader played for Xiao Zhan know how show the personality from Dr. Gu. Know how makes we laugh and fall in love in each single detail of the character. The femal leader played by Yang Zi is amazing! She is a master of comedy and the way of Lin Zinxiao is so simple and sincere, makes you love and laugh her character. The chemistry between the two actors, Xiao Zhan and Yang Zi is incredible! Them improvisations on the scenes makes you feel so confortable with the couple. I love so much this drama!
