Fun guilty pleasure bursting with chemistry!

Nowadays, most dramas don't have much originality, therefore there must be *something* that makes it enjoyable and worthwhile. The main leads are this *something*. It's easy to come by pretty people in entertainment, but they have that intangible chemistry and adorable quality that makes them perfectly matched and special.

The story has been done thousands of times, but with these two, I just keep smiling at their cuteness. Wang Ziqi sells "heads over heels in love" with his smoldering eyes. The actor's innate adorkableness makes people enjoy Yin Sichen's arrogance, bossiness, childishness, and vulnerabilities. It's funny how "girls' dream lover" was initially a silly narcissistic moniker but it turns out quite accurate by the end.

Wang Yuwen is sweet and cute without being annoyingly over the top. Gu Xixi is kind-hearted but also smart, playful and resourceful. Even though the drama had the typical 2nd leads trying to break them up, it wasn't too annoying because YSC and GXX were dedicated to each other, always loving and supportive.

The series isn't anywhere near perfect. The other couple was weak and I fast forwarded through them and 2nd leads. GXX's father and grandmother were terrible, but luckily not in many scenes. Her mother was so awesome, I wish they included her in the final fashion show. Why wasn't she there? One of my favorite scenes was the dinner with YSC, GXX and her mother. Simple family warmth. Wang Ziqi has a great filial vibe he injects into his characters. The quiet sweet scene of YSC and GXX star gazing after was also lovely.

It wasn't the funniest Rom Com, but had really laughable moments. Torturing each other with their cringy PDA, YSC's face during the horror movie, and anytime he was jealous... The bubble tea still has me snickering.

Yeah, on paper, it certainly has more negative points than positives. But in execution, this series has this addictiveness that makes me giddy and keep watching this delightful pair.
