the plot could definitely be written much better but the romance between shaopeng and zixiang is where it shines. i also did not realize how emotional this would be. i mean it had its fun and goofy moments but they also gave me some of my favorite heart-tugging scenes in a drama.

i adored shaopeng and zixiang individually and together. i thought it was just so sweet and adorable how they started and gradually got know each other, formed a friendship and then fall in love. the bar is low but we saw that development lol. i love that they brought out the best in each other. this is so corny but like, i believe they're gonna last. this is my first time watching these actors and i'm impressed. i thought they really have so much chemistry plus they delivered a great performance during the emotional scenes. the scene at the hospital with shaopeng and his parents? i was a sobbing mess. thank god shaopeng has such loving parents.

the overall plot with zixiang's cousin and his father was pretty weak. it just wasn't interesting and even though the drama began with zixiang's life being in danger, i never felt that thrill. even in the end with his cousin literally pointing a gun at him, i didn't feel like this whole dramatic scene and supposedly a climactic moment was earned. there was one point, i forgot about nat! (and he's part of the reason why i even started this drama!)

they highlighted the struggles shaopeng's faces in his career as a deaf person in the beginning and i wish they could've gone deeper with this storyline instead of the whole plot with zixiang's family. the incorporation of sign language feels authentic to me but then again, i know so little about it so.

the second lead couple is adorable but that one did not get much development. they just happened. i do think they're cute and have enjoyed their scenes together.

this is one of my favorites now!
