Amazing story but that ending.
I was glued to the screen watching this show, I love Ireine Song and have found all the previous series I watched her in to be amazing. So I knew I would find this series to be sweet and fun, and I wasn't disappointed. The main lead was the epitome of smart CEO but also showed a vulnerability that isn't always seen with these characters as he was a naive when it came to relationships and so we could see both leads slowly learning together on how to build a strong relationship.Unlike other shows, you don't really get any real " other love interest/conflicts" that make the leads question the other persons loyalty or sincerity. Instead you see them face and conquer their own obstacles to achieve their dreams, while leaning on each other for support and even sometimes "tough love" to push each other. I loved seeing the main female lead's confidence growing and her finally standing up for what she wants. Also to see a male lead being so doting but also giving her space to stand up on her own was refreshing when compared to other shows male leads who essentially white knight and solve all the female leads problems.
The side relationships were good but not really all that substantial in that they progressed the main couples storylines or really went off on their own storylines. I would have honestly been happy to not have as much time given to them if it meant we had more air time for the main couples storylines to progress.
Which this leads to the only real thing I can say I disliked on this show was the ending which I know I'm not alone in. When the show ended I honestly thought an error occurred where the episode ended accidently or there was supposed to be another episode but it truly was just an open ended, no real climax ending.

Weird but sweet.
Honestly, I wasn't expecting to enjoy this series as much as I did since the trailer and storyline did not give me high hopes but it was actually a pretty well put together crime show that keeps you guessing who the killer is.It starts off intense, then slows a bit while building the characters backgrounds etc but it picks up a few episodes in and keeps you interested. The female leads powers aren't to mystical to make it seem fake so the plot line was believable and that made the scary parts even more intense.
The love story between the main leads did not take over the plot all to much, even though the moments you did see were extremely sweet and the chemistry between them is undeniable, so it doesn't distract to much from the crime storyline.
The only things I am a bit confused over the females need to become a comedian, (she doesn't seem very funny or I possibly don't understand the humor?) and the random job changes in the last two episodes which seem to not stay changed? Otherwise the series was super cute.

A story about your own UNIQUE love.
Before you watch this series, I will say it is unique and can push boundaries. Which shouldn't be a surprise if you are at all familiar with Japanese films/series since they are known to have shows like that.Once you get past the sweat focus, its honestly such a sweet love story about two people who are a building their own happy, loving relationship which may not conform to the norm. I will say the series is fast paced and cuts out A LOT of the background information/characters that you get from the manga (hint hint: read the manga!)
So, the female lead is a shy, anxious woman who was incessantly bullied due to her sweating as a kid - which as we all know when your stress, you only seem to sweat more -. She is intelligent, working as an accountant at a soap company but you can tell from the start she is unsure about her own body and what her value is as a partner/woman. Still she works hard to communicate to the male lead and doesn't rely on the stereotype that "he will guess the problem".
The male lead oversteps social boundaries but it can be overlooked somewhat due to him being a bit eccentric and utilizes his sense of smell to create new scents for soap. I would describe his personality as being similar to an odd painter who sees a new muse and begs for them to sit and model for them so they can create a new piece of art. He is very compassionate and hardworking, he shows his love to the female lead in all the ways he can and even shows his own vulnerability when he is scared he may be losing her.
All in all they work together to build each other up, overcoming insecurities and embracing each others uniqueness. I love the message of "I know I couldn't be there to have shield you from the pain you suffered, but I can be here now to share the painful memory of it and help you learn to heal".

Mashup of all the storylines
If you watched the anime, then you will be able to see how they took pieces of all the best parts of the anime and seemed to mash them all together. I felt like there was no build up to any real "climax"you don't get any of the build up from yusuke training with genkai, they dont build a relationship and so you dont feel sad learning about toguro and her history, etc etc. AND then randomly she gives up the spirit wave/orb/ power after 20ish days of training I believe... and if you seen the anime you know what happens after that.... but you cant feel sad since no real character connection
the dark artifacts are there and while they followed that storyline the most, it was a let down since even though yusuke met heie and kurama, he still doesnt build a relationship with them through the smaller missions before the big dark tournament.
The "dark tournament" was a fast pace battle, and even though the fights somewhat followed the anime with the final competition, it honestly gave no satisfaction to watch since there was NO BUILDUP. toguro and yusuke never fought before then and it was just "oh.... hes dead"
It was ok if you just want to see a live action recap of some good points in the anime.
Maybe they will make a season two that is longer, and maybe an actual tournament?

Real Gamers don't fit a stereotype
I absolutely loved this series because it didn't stereotype the gamers, the female gamer was both girlie but a badass. They made sure to showcase her strengths but also showed her integrating into the team where they both learned from her and taught her new tricks. Each of the gamers were unique, with different strengths and they made sure to show that none of them were the "unstoppable, god gamer". They each had to rely on each other.I thought it was soo good to see the main male lead be the one who had the "emotional" break that lead to the group surrounding him to show support. They also showed a strong female who was the one who was rich and she stood up for her love.
Each storyline of the supporting characters were cute and I felt like each one contributed to the story, instead of just being filler.

A bumpy first romance
Is this a fun series? Yes, it has all the cute scenes you expect from one of these rom coms, the guy trying to act cool but melting for his love interest. The main female lead is just adorable and she really embodies the "new to dating" awkwardness. You see Yuan Xian grow from a shy, unsure partner to being confident to tell Ling Wei, girl who likes Qin Shin, that they are dating even after the she used every opportunity to guilt Yuan from "gifting" her a job to using depression to keep them apart.Now for the negative, I was a bit shaky on the romance between the main character since up until they started dating, I felt more chemistry in them tentatively showing their feelings. Then after they were openly dating there didn't seem to be any "chemistry" other than a very cute scene with him giving her a necklace and him barking >.< When you watch it, you will see what I mean.. just "ahh?"
Also I was a bit frustrated with how he seemed to punish her for quite some time, and it was seen as ok? I get him being upset for a bit but it seemed to be over a span of a long time.
All in all it was a cute series that took place over the span of freshman year for majority of the episodes and then a peak at them at graduation.

Puppy love is so cute to watch.
Ok was this show a bit odd... yes. But it was super cute as well.I was giggling and smiling the whole time watching it. Its definitely one that really goes fast and leaves you with a smile at the end.
I swear if they did more of the training cuteness at the end I would have been so happy. That was adorable.
I couldnt handle the cuteness when "bannng! *dead*".... my heart just exploded
I only have one question.... when they have lil minions... will they also be lil husky babies? I want to see Mr husky all happy and cuddling her tummy, then cuddling the babies. Teaching them to play frisbee!! Teaching them how to be gentle with the kitties, "kitties are friends, you got to be soft with them... no no no bark"
Anyways, it was a cute little show that really just leaves you happy without too much drama like an evil love rival or anything like that.

Sweet story
Ok ok this was one of the most adorable, sweet love stories. One that shows falling in love with the person, not superficial things. It really encompassed this idea of loving a person who may be gender fluid, non binary, transitioning, etc. You love that person for who they are. They show how friendship can grow into love, that you fall in love with the person and who they represent in your life, what they bring into your life.Yes of course this is a "magical" story but honestly I loved it and what it represents.

a sweet watch
Cute but a bit dry. Sweet storyline but wish the ML broke out of his shell a bit more. He was inside sweet and did somewhat break out of his shell but I wanted the female lead to see a new side of him. Even see him smile a bit more. I wanted to see him melt for her and be cuddly maybe. Wake up and snuggle with her, or be staring at her and look away a bit shy... I also wanted the female lead to be a bit more confident by the end, to stand up and demand the love she deserves.I'm also a bit partial to her childhood crush who stood by her side, who gave her comfort when she felt uneasy, who fought for her, and worried over her when people were causing issues.

I gave it a real try but couldn't get through it
I really love Ireine Song so even though this series had a low score, I tried to watch it with an open mind.Starting out Jerry Yan, Shi Lian Sen, looked like an annoyed toad for the first 5 episodes but once he started smiling he wasn't as scary looking. Still the acting in this is a bit gimmicky, not the high scale I normally get with the Ireine Song.
Next few episodes have some of funniest scenes, him attempting to be close to her while she slept and she kicks him TWICE, like straight laid him out on the floor. Then an attempted kiss by him while she was sleeping which is met with her sneezing on him....
One thing I am liking about this series is that the female rival isn't "EVIL" , she doesn't set out to hurt or slander the female lead or anything. she is actually quite sweet and simply liked the male lead for most of her life. still after a few dragging scenes between her and the awkward second male lead, I had to start fast forwarding on them since I got really annoyed with repetition of it all.
The dramatics in this series can be a bit overwhelming, like how he just pops up on a busy street!! ahahahha I get that we have to have the magic scenes but it was a bit much. Also the mid series replay of their shenanigans up till that point. then the sad record playing (not even just a faint background music, he actually goes through the process and plays it). I'm dying with cringe. Also the over acting when drunk, is done a bit too much to fill in story gaps.
The competition company is manned by a character of a bad guy with a fat cigar in his mouth and an evil laugh.
Also I'm in love with the leads parents. they are all so supportive, not one seems to really be against the relationship. Although there was some resistance at the start from the male leads father, he seemed to come around quickly.
Once I reached 16, it got to repetitive, I got way to bored and I just couldn't keep watching

Honestly perfection
I'm normally not one to say a show is perfection, but I truly I felt this show hit all the sweet spots and did not leave you unsatisfied by the end. It never slowed down and there wasn’t any messy outside stories or drama that left you bored between scenes.There have been so many cliche damsels in need of saving series that I was unsure on watching this one at first. But I am so glad I gave it a chance. I'll keep this as short and sweet as i can, since so many others have probably said the same with this being such a popular drama but I honestly had to write a review of one of my new favorites or I would burst!
While the main focus of this series was more about overcoming traumatic events both main leads went through in childhood and as adults, the love story between the main leads was still very sweet and to watch as they both started to find their sanctuary/home where they could both finally feel at peace with each other was beautiful to watch. They honestly grew together, and the male lead was amazing in how he cared for her. He is the epitome of what a partner should do and be when faced with someone they love who has gone through trauma.
First of all, the women in this series are the POWERHOUSES which I Ioved:
The female lead was nothing short of a woman learning to take control of her own life. Yes the male lead helped her but she was not a wilting flower when she discovered her own strength to fight. She didn't wait around for the male lead to solve all the problems, while yes she did lean on him when she needed to and he did the same, she was at the forefront of unraveling the web of deceit and hate her stepmother wrapped around her family before serving revenge on all of those who hurt them.
The Stepmother and stepsister were the epitome of villains, they did not pull any punches or rely on the men on the side lines to fight for them UNLESS it was part of their plan to use them. The stepmother was honestly amazing since there was zero overarching redemption arc for her, she was evil through and through which made her even better as a character. The step-daughter was more so spoilt than evil but she was still given her just desserts just like her mother.
The in-law women (mother, grandmother, sister, cousin - in -laws) were all strong, take no guff business driven individuals who took matters into their own hands when faced with obstacles. With the matriarch of the family being the grandmother who was the founder of the company, she worked as a carpenter first and grew from there, and never let others define what she could do which you can see mirrored in the the other women of this family who fight tooth and nail to protect those who they deemed family.
While the husbands and the evil brother were key with having the storyline progress, they were less dominant characters compared to the women in most respects. Although the evil brother does play a huge role in the finale, he's in between spoilt brat and evil demon level of the step mom and step sister of the female lead.
All in all I encourage you ALL to watch it so that viki can make more amazing originals like this one.

The Best of You in My Mind

The type of love that lasts
While this drama does have a central couple, there are multiple characters who make this series the amazing series it is.Maybe its because I just watched Professional Single (another cute drama with Song Yi Ren) but this is a story is the sweet romance that could have happened with her childhood friend if she didn't start dating the high school hunk. I found this drama to be bursting to the seems with sweet story lines between all the characters, which was lacking in professional singles
To start the main couple is Chi Chi and Fang Fang who grew up together from the age of 8 when they became neighbors. They were the best of friends who enjoyed pranking and daring each other all through school. It was one of these dares at the end of their high school year that leads to a fall out between them and they don't speak until they are in the same college months later. While their friendship becomes strong once again, Chi Chi begins to see Fang Fang in a different light and realizes that he had a crush on her for "centuries" >.< Their romance is one of sweet love that grew out of friendship and while they do hit a few obstacles it is due to their strong foundation of friendship that they are able to stay together even with distance between them.
Now the other characters are just as important in this series, Chi Chi's family is broken due to decisions that her parents made when she and her brother were little, something that not only hurt her then but when she learns the truth it only seems to reopen the wounds that never got to fully heal.
Chi Chi's absentee mother is one of the characters that was pivotal since it was due to that trauma that made her so scared to lose Fang Fang but he was also the one who gave her the security she needed since they were young and how they were able to grow together to build a strong, healthy relationship.
Her brother and father are sweet characters, and while you don't learn much about the father you learn how he impacted her life even when he knew he made mistakes and was at a loss at what to do.
Chi Chi's roommates are just as cute as any other rom com college roommates but they also made each character unique with actual personalities and story lines of their own.
I loved the introduction of the archery team who are a rowdy bunch who are more than just jocks and work hard to prove themselves against other teams who are seen as unbeatable.
This series takes place over years, and while it can be a bit hard to pinpoint how much time has passed sometimes, you can see that these friends all become a second family to Fang Fang and Chi Chi. And it is with this second family that they overcome the hardships of college and becoming the best versions of themselves.
If I had to criticize anything, I just wanted more normal days between fang fang and Chi Chi, I wanted to see them hanging out or on a date. While you do get some really amazing scenes, it did seem to be sparsely scattered. But that really picking at small things.

Swoon Worthy Chemistry
If you want a rollercoaster , swoon-worthy couple then you really get that with this series.Honestly, Lu Jin is one of those characters that makes you melt when he looks at Nan Nan. Lin Shen is one of those actors that can say so much in an expression, he really made the character believable and portray the type of love where the other person just makes you feel complete
Yes there is an age gap with these characters, and they really do use it for the story but in a way that makes it less "lecherous old man and student" and more so that she brings him the spark of being carefree and happy. She helps him shed his heartless, cold shell that kept him protected after his father deserted him and his mother, and learn to to the risk to embrace family and love again.
I found the second couple Richard and Celine to be a bit much. Not that I didn't like them at first, but I really just wanted to rush back to the scenes with Fussy Lu and Nan Nan again since I just loved their chemistry.
Now I do have to say I did get a bit annoyed with the male lead, Lu Jin, a few times since there was some points where I felt he needed to stick up for Gu Shengnan more. But I did like that Nan Nan did seem to start standing up for herself and Lu Jin was there for her when it mattered in many situations.

What can be said about this drama other than a simple masterpiece?
If you are looking for a "swoon and boom" love story with over the top confessions with evil being conquered, then this is not the one for you. So instead of a rollercoaster, its more so catching the wrong bus, not knowing where you may end up but enjoying the new scenery and deciding to see where it leads instead of jumping off on the next stop.I honestly can't say anything bad about it from the start to the finish, its like looking into a world of "real" people with insecurities, goals, and baggage that they are learning to deal with on their own but also supporting each other.
This isn't a story that just focuses on the main couple and the side couples are there for filler but more so a household of friends turned family who support and love each other, while yes couples are formed in that time that is definitely not the main focus.
I don't want to spoil anything since I found this story to be one that is unique and fulfilling to watch from start to finish, and I do mean finish since the last minute of this show truly gives you the best moment of "it all worked out and they are truly happy they followed their dreams"

Cute and complex. A must watch!
Ok ok this was a really cute series, it really explored a strong women and them learning to love themselves, to not have to fit the thin, frail image that many people use for the ideal.The female lead and male lead grow together throughout the series, learning about each other and learning that love comes from learning to trust and expose your flaws to the other person.
I really loved that it showed that not only was the female lead a strong woman but that she was also very in tune with her emotions since many archetypes will only have one or the other since showing emotions are normally associated with being weak. Also on that note showing the male lead crying and dealing with the twisted history with his mother gave a lot of dimensions to his character and showing him maturing.
All in all I loved this series and really recommend it to anyone wanting a more complex romcom
