Eye Candy in the form of ML & FL (that's about it)

I started this drama with high-ish expectations as it seemed promising.

The starting soundtrack is catchy and upbeat! I also like that FL as I think she's pretty and cute. I must say that I don't find her the best of actresses but she certainly looks good on the screen.

The drama started off quite fine and I'd say that I'd rate it a "round up 8" although it wasn't a full 8/10. However, as the drama continued, my rating for it began to dip. It went from 7.5 to 7 and then, eventually, 6.5/10.

What I liked:
- The ML and FL are good-lookers. They certainly make my TV screen look very fine indeed.
- The parts to do with the ML and FL are pretty sweet and rather engaging.
- The soundtrack is pleasant and suits the drama.
(I guess the above is about it. I tried to add more but...)

What I didn't like:
- FL's ex-boyfriend is all kinds of crazily manipulative. I mean: Why be disloyal when he purportedly loves FL so much? It does not make sense. He also seemed crazily hell-bent on making FL his wife and hurrying her to get married which did not make sense at all. Also, FL is a human being and not his object or an object for him to play with. FL isn't a plaything. That man has issues which he needs to solve. He also blames everyone else around him instead of being self-reflective and thinking deeply about his erroneous ways.
- FL's father is also all kinds of crazy. He simply cannot accept FL being her own person and having her own mind.
- FL's brother is absolutely a pain to watch! The older girl-younger man relationship here is painful to watch and not at all sexy or hot. He behaves childishly on many occasions. He is selfish (in the name of love) and he tries hard to be cute but fails miserably. I cannot stand the way he speaks. There is something odd about the movement of his mouth/ lips. I had to press "fast-forward" whenever he appeared. He isn't cute either.
- ML's crazy ex-girlfriend was truly insufferably annoying. I hated looking at her and I hated hearing her. She and FL's ex-boyfriend should get together. Both have serious issues. They are manipulative and self-centred.
- There is too much screen time for other uninteresting couples in the show - Xu Wei and Fang Qi as well as Wang Ji and Lin Si Yu. They were boring and frustrating!
- FL and ML have a rather lukewarm relationship. They don't seem to have that much sizzling chemistry but it's still okay for me. I completed the drama for them and to see them.
- In general, the acting in the show isn't top-notch/ stellar. The FL seems to have one main "sweet smile" expression. ML seems better. (I am actually a fan of FL... I just have to be honest despite being a fan! I have watched several of her dramas!)
- The plot isn't anything very exciting either. Nothing interesting or suspenseful happens throughout the whole show.

Overall, this show is okay to watch if you just fast-forward any parts that don't excite you. Trust me, you won't miss anything much at all! :)
