Surprisingly good

The good:
It seems, at first, a typical cliche plot and you think it might have many cringy scenes when you watch the first episode... but the more you watch, the better it gets.
The ML - the actor play this character nicely. The FL is feisty at times which I love. She has her own opinions.

I adore the banter between the FL and ML, and also how she tries to give him really good advice sometimes. Like how to pursue someone. Or when he had a bad day at work, and she told him its alright - it didn't feel fake, the dialogue was amazing. They have good chemistry too, after they realize their feelings.

I also like the side characters. Kan Di knows whats wrong and what's right. She knows how to do her job right. The director is professional and kind. He is a sweet supporting character for the FL. The brother and his gf - their relationship develops nicely too.

I usually don't pay attention to OSTs but the song here is really sweet and catchy too.

The bad: I really hope they don't add anymore "saving the FL" scenes. But I think there was only one scene like that (so far).

Overall: The plot is really good but sometimes it falters. I really love most of the characters though, and the dialogue is reasonable. I hope it continues to be good after episode 12 too.

EDIT: I finished it. The ending kinda drags on. And it doesn't make sense. I'll just reminisce about the beginning.

Disappointing plot but great nostalgic scenery!

The movie starts off pretty well since its entertaining to see how the FL gets to know the ML and his friend, especially through her mischiefs. But it ends up going down the cliché route halfway through the movie: the FL and her friend end up liking the same guy so FL lies to the guy about her feelings. This makes the plot frustrating and hard to watch. It's not very creative and doesn't make the characters seem thoughtful or relatable. If anything, it made the FL seem irresponsible for making the people around her confused and left in the dark. Although I think Yoo Jung's acting is pretty good, its the scriptwriters who mostly failed this part of the movie.

The other main cast members had mediocre acting, especially the two male leads. Though, I do feel a nice bit of chemistry between Yoo Jung and the two!

Overall, the little things like her school, family, and friendships are heartwarming and fun. The nostalgic vibe and the cinematography were stunning. But that's mostly what uplifts the movie for me. And I know a lot of people are unhappy about the ending, but that's what helped me feel some strong emotions, especially with the video tape at the end. It was heart-wrenching and I like actress Hyo Joo's moments there. Without the ending, I would probably give this a 5.

I wouldn't go out of my way to recommend this movie but if you want to watch a light-hearted romcom with a mediocre cliche plot, and don't mind a sad ending, go for it...

It's been a while since I watched this drama... I remember it being really funny and I freaking loved the characters. The plot wasn't too bad, I usually don't like ridiculous stuff, but this was cute - I actually enjoyed the bickering so much ugh <3 This is the drama that got me into Yoon Shi Yoon~ HIS ACTING HERE WAS AMAZING. I liked the FL too probably cause she's strong-headed. The scenes between the two had me LOLing.

I've had the OST "Dreaming" in my little mp3 player since 2014 and now it's on my phone haha-

Kinda disappointed in the ratings people gave it though,, try it out on your own and see if you like it!

I was intrigued because of Simon Gong,, I've seen bits of Flavor, Its Yours but that drama really sucked - no offense. I just thought he looked really good there. So yes I went in because of his looks lol.
The FL is better than most Chinese dramas and that's what kept me goin'. I liked her and the ML too. The first few episodes weren't too bad but the story started to drag until they genuinely got together. And then it was kinda cute. The way he would be honest with her and look at her yada yada,, yes very cute. But then it started to drag again and I couldn't stand it anymore. The plot started to go all over the place and nothing could continue to pull me in. I used to like her friends but they started to get boring too.
The side couple is even worse. Kept skipping their scenes mostly cause of that arrogant dude. They try to add a comical element using him but it didn't work for me. He was the most annoying character probably.

Favorite part: FL's character. She seemed real to me. And her group of friends are nice haha. I also LOVE Cai Ya Si (second lead) - he's a nice friend and I had heart eyes for him the whole time.
Least favorite part: Yi Xing's character. The plot dragging with too many episodes anyways.

This is one of those "if you're okay with a mindless plot" dramas. It's lighthearted, has a very pretty cast, and doesn't care about the plot too much.
If you're like me and can't stand it when there's too many cliche things and dumb plot lines then skip it. If you're like everyone else here who can somehow stand the random flowers and rainbows the drama shoves down your throat, go ahead and watch~ But I gotta say the ML is super hot and actually kinda cool in the first few episodes,, and the FL is cute and quirky,, it's why I watched 11 episodes and then quit...

By cliche scenes, I mean when the ML keeps picking up the FL bride and groom style all the time for no reason, is too over-protective, always saves the day etc etc. FL sometimes takes her own stand but its not enough. Better than some others I've seen though, especially the first quarter was good. I like the whistling ost in the beginning too~
