This was a lot better than I expected after reading the synopsis.
Although the storyline itself contains a lot of the familiar tropes from Cdramas, the charm, the small lighthearted humorous moments, and the acting resulted in a feelgood viewing experience for me.
Some of the common plots are also kept at the "less dramatic" level, keeping it more realistic.

The soundtrack is not intruding, but well chosen, adding to the mood and vibe in the differen scenes.

Grandad was excellent – the actor portraying this character did a fabolous job. I kind of wished we saw more of him!

I liked Xu Ruo Han (FL) in “Forbidden flower” and thought this role suited her quite well.
Even if kind of typecasted, Wei Zhe Ming (ML) is also an actor I like, and he nailed this role quite well. I can't really remember if I have seen him in many humoristic scenes before, and even if these were just small lighthearted moments I found his timing and execution to be spot on.

This is a Cdrama I can see myself rewatching when in the mood for something not too heavy, not too melodrama.
