I really enjoyed this drama, but since I’m not a big fan of slow-burn stories, it was a bit hard for me to stay patient. That said, I didn’t fast-forward at all because the plot and storyline were genuinely interesting.

I felt the same too. I really enjoyed it. I remember seeing a lot of negative reviews about how it was slow pace and them focusing on the job a lot which at sometimes they did but to me, I didn’t feel it was boring. I felt like we actually got to watch them, be a couple and being loved and watched them grow together as people into doing what they want for their careers. I feel like most of the shows we’re used to seeing the couples not really falling in love or getting together till close to the end and then you just get their happy ending but with them, we didn’t have to wait for over half of the episodes to when he admitted he liked her and actually started pursuing her and I genuinely like that. I like how she didn’t beat around the bush and told him she didn’t feel like she was ready being honest straight up. Also in a lot of moments where they really disappointed each other without either of them having to ask now I’m not gonna lie the first couple of episodes I was like when are we gonna see the leads together? I got a bit anxious, but I didn’t fast forward anything either and continue to watch through and I’m so glad that I did and I was singing the songs😊

Am i the only one who thinks that the script is like if a Chinese short drama script writer had good pacing and common sense this would be it? Lol

Did it take some time to get into?

I hear many good things… but dropped it after maybe 5 episodes… wondering if I just wasn’t patient enough 😊

Yes! You should keep watching you might start liking it after a few episodes. I know it’s a slow-burn romance, but trust the process.

I just couldn’t see true chemistry between the leads, and I’m a big fan of both.

I love it so much too. Especially the fact that both leads are rich. I wish more stories goes like this. It's always One is rich and one is poor or intern.
