Wonderful cast with Victoria Song and Song Weilong as headliners but everyone shines!! Available on Netflix and kudos to Netfix for giving us the chance to see this charming, insightful comedy of manners. The interplay between the cast members is outstanding. I have actually watched this three times in Netflix and purchased the DVD.

I really enjoyed this Cdrama on Netflix. I watched it 3 times and want to watch again. The writing set up a lot of good situational humor with a couple of outrageous twists as the story goes on. The writing, directing and acting were good and the entire ensemble felt comfortable with their roles. There even was some good life advice. I also liked hearing the girl talk that a lot of people may have felt was plot padding. The 2nd male lead handling was engaging and maybe as entertaining and funny as any I have seen - I enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed Choi Si-won's 2nd male lead in his She Was Pretty Kdrama showing. I found the easy and endearing smile of Song Weilong something that I want to see more of. Victoria Song is also someone I want to see more of.

This is an extremely long series of 41 eps.

This is ok if the content is interesting - but how many times can you repeat the same scenarios without falling asleep?

Older woman (32) is pursued by younger male (22) - shock - horror.

Fanxing is successful career woman who finds herself pursued by her own intern - a very handsome and attractive young man - Weilong Song.

I wasn't convinced by this - she looked every day of her age and I didn't find her particularly attractive.

The usual shame and embarrassment on her part is lathered on and on and on - until finally she drives it to destruction and immediately regrets it.

The parents in this series weren't as repulsive as they usually are - a point in it's favour - and I loved the impromptu dance of her older would-be lover in which he was joined by his niece.

Personally I thought he was a better fit for her - but then - who could resist Weilong Song?!!

There is the obligatory long separation (Why oh Why do they insist on this trope) and the inevitable resolution.

How on earth they dragged this out to 41 episodes is a mystery - too many girly conversations - too many sub romances which weren't remotely interesting. When Weilong wasn't on the scene neither was I.

16 eps would have been more than enough.

Be warned - you will need your finger on the fast forward button for most of this story.

I really like a love story with an age gap, especially when the guy is younger than the girl. This one was great! It was romantic, emotional and funny. It was 41 episodes and I'm ashamed admitting I totally binge-watched the second half because I was so worried about the ending. Luckily the writers choose my happy ending. Nothing more to wish for.

When he smiled at her or teased her I couldn't help myself having a big smile on my face. ML and FL had great chemistry.

What a beautiful relationship the FL had with her brother and parents. Great working environment as well.

It comes on my favorites list.

A successful company manager in her thirties has never known love but then a very attractive young intern starts at her company and is instantly smitten with her but will he capture her heart. The series has a great cast and many interesting characters and side stories and over the 41 episodes only has the occasionally lull. It makes some relatable observations about love in romantic relationships and friendships through the individuals lives. Overall very well written, well acted and occasionally laugh out loud funny.
