Fun to watch for all the now-big names, but otherwise completely nonsensical

I skipped through this one, so I can't speak for the entire drama. But wow, what I saw was a dumpster fire. The plot almost never made sense. The characters' actions didn't make sense. The drama couldn't seem to decide if it wanted to be a comedy, slice-of-life, or melodrama-- it failed at all three.
Vengo's character, Ying Dong, couldn't seem to decide on one woman to date. First he dated Luo Yi, then the *day* she dumped him, he rebounded with Wan Jia. Then a few days after Wan Jia dumped him, he convinced Amber to start dating him. Why can't Ying Dong seem to survive without a girlfriend?? The drama never brings this up as a problem. My favorite part was when he had the nerve to say to Luo Yi, "I have never dated anyone else [all these years]." Ummmm WHAT??? That is the fattest lie I have ever heard in my life! Did the writers forget that he just spent the last 30+ episodes seriously dating not one, but TWO different women? And when did he break up with Amber at the end? It's like they forgot that they had been dating for months at that point, and were even considering marriage literally a few days before!

I only watched this for Vengo and Dilraba, and they did not disappoint! It was fun to see them act together, especially since Ying Dong is much more affectionate than our icy Dong Hua Dijun. All the Eternal Love cast honestly did a great job. It was a little eerie to see Dijun putting the moves on Bai Qian, though XD Don't let Ye Hua see you hugging her, Dijun.

I don't know why Yang Mi was in this drama. Probably the only reason was because she's an A-lister. She was only in five episodes of the drama, so I don't know why she got top-billing. I don't know how on *earth* the writers thought it would be a good idea for her to be absent literally the entire drama, then throw Luo Yi and Ying Dong together in the last episode (well... kind of). How are we supposed to root for them as a couple when as far as the audience is concerned, they've never *been* a couple? Ying Dong honestly should've ended up with Amber, and I'm not saying that just because I love Vengo/Dilraba. They had the best chemistry, they got along really well, they were well-suited for each other, they both became better people because of the other's influence, and somehow the writers just ignored all that in the finale? What??

Thanks for reading my therapy session. I honestly thought it was fun to skip through this one just to see the cast from TMOPB plus Vengo and Dilraba being all cutesy (Vengo is an absolute snack this entire drama), but otherwise it's a fat waste of time. The plot makes zero sense, the characters make zero sense, and the ending makes zero sense.
