Okay so I dropped this one twice just because the female lead looked like a kid next to the male lead who gave middle-aged man vibes lol.

The start was kinda slow-paced but not boring at all, which made me come back and pick it up again - and I'm so glad I did! This one easily shot up to my top 3 fav dramas.

And I came to love these characters to death! The male lead, who I thought would be just some old man, turned out to be super charming and had great character development. The female lead is my absolute favorite - beautiful, mature, and so witty. I learned a lot from her character and how she tackled every challenge that came her way. I was taking mental notes every time she surprised me with her unique ways of handling difficulties 😂

I was rooting for her so hard!

Loved how Gu Tingye and Granny were always there supporting her though - seriously, poor Minglan needed a break sometimes!

Was so happy when they finally got married! They bring out the best in each other. Total power couple! I miss their chemistry so bad.

Trust me, this series just keeps getting better and better with every episode.

Definitely worth a rewatch!
