So I decided not to judge this series more harshly based on the fact that Covid kind of ruined it alittle. In Taiwan (where it was created) their covid numbers went up and it stalled production for awhile. Like TOO long, so most forgot about it. I didn't because I was invested, but I could see how people would. This also meant that storylines had to be changed and shortened due to lack of time, so the show lost its way completely by the end. Which totally sucks because it was solid. Moving on.

The show has an interesting prospect of a divorced woman working in relationship work. Meaning she owns a company that helps aid people who want to find their "perfect match". So she's clearly still mourning her past relationship not working. Which I get until I found out not only does she continue to cling to said dead relationship and the ring. But its been 9 YEARS after the fact. He did basically leave her in the dust, with no real way to support herself (what a di**) and left the divorce papers on the table. But then there's this love triangle going on that doesn't make sense to me with the boy-next-door and ex husband. He's an ex for a reason, there problem solved lol I don't believe in getting back together especially if divorce is involved. Let alone all the other awful things that happened like mentioned.The main guy (Hsuan Yu) is also very cute and calming the watch. Dude also cuts homeless people's hair so he's a literal angel. She just had to get past the "but I grew up with him and he's like my brother!" thing. Something I did not like though was the fact that Hsuan Yu was dating someone while literally thirsting after our main girly! His girlfriend was also hella unlikable, who dumps someone literally in the airport after flights have been purchased and plans have been made?! Trash. Anyways, Yan Fei and Hsuan Yu's ending was sweet and I liked seeing him get his salon.

Now for the diversity, YAYYYY! We got not only a gay couple in this, but a lesbian as well! Whom technically doesn't end up with someone by the end. But it's okay, she's worker on herself! We'll of course talk mostly about Ou Wen and Mark, but that does not mean I don't appreciate our gay queen! So I started pushing for Ou Wen and Mark almost immediately. I wish it wasn't until episode 6 we had to wait to see stuff develop. Especially since their relationship was rushed due to the pandemic the most I think. Either way, I loved them. The chemistry (so cute and then so steamy!), the contrasting personalities that worked so well, the fashion choices! So good! Many people only watched for them, I get it I liked them too but the rest of the story was solid too. Some things that I did not like about their plot points were A) bi-erasure of Marks character, we will never stan that. As an openly pan/bi girl, that shi** toxic. B) Mark's homophobic parents, we didn't need it and it was rushed HEAVILY. I get Ou-Wen trying to diffuse the situation, but it semi came off as were supposed to sympathize that his father hit him and neither of his parents accepting him. No. C) A pregnancy plotline shoved in there for good measure that was handled poorly. Like let the lady choose what to do with her own body! As well as just let the gay couple be a gay couple yknow? Stop handfisting in ways to make them more "relatable" to the straights lol. Or at least that's what it felt like.

Lastly, I quite liked Nai Hui and her boo! Though her intent was whack, wanting to find a hubby before her ex got married? Like my lord girl sit down. They ended up being very sweet, albeit super toned down. Also sidenote, I like that the cast is older. Everyone's either late 20's, 30s or past that. Felt more real. Overall, damn you covid. You literally ruin EVERYTHING! Watch this still, but expect the decline towards the end. Also....likeeee why is Wayne a cameo in EVERYTHING!!! XD Love him but dude keeps jumpscaring me
