-My Comment-
When I first saw the show I can't help myself not to chuckle and smile a lot (Every time I watch the show) .At first I was amazed by the great chemistry of Joseph and Stephanie.
Now and then I'm in hurry to go home to watch this show.
(As an evidence I alarm my cellphone every 5:30 and wake up immediately even though I felt sleepy and sometimes got sick)
One thing I like on this show was I wish my love story was like that
and I wish to become Joshua and Sarah was my Stephanie.
