Not feeling good about the male lead

Plot of this show is pretty good, pace was great, each character stood out on it's own. I am not the biggest fan of revenge shows but some of them can good. This show gives abit of the Itaewon Class vibes if you have watched.

However, out of all the characters in this show, I don't vibe with male lead the most. I have to say I am never into male leads that are arrogant just because they are good at one thing/ is deemed as super good-looking/ the fact that people have to "worship" him for nothing about the personality. While i did enjoyed Li Xun and Zhu Yun's love story, i didn't like how Li Xun treated other people (including Zhu Yun at times too!!). Ofcourse he was always the best at coding and have his own family issues (the so called perfect typical male lead with issues), however, he doesn't treat other people like his team mates or ZY's parents the best either. I wouldn't say he deserved the hate but i just think that how he was treated was an effect from his own attitude in the first place. His family issues should not an excuse for him to project it on other people.

One thing that kept me going was the female lead - one of the strongest and actually smart female lead I have seen in a long while. She never doubted Li Xun and always loved and supported him throughout the entire show. I would say for Li Xun, he wouldn't be able to grow as a person if not for Zhu Yun by his side/ he wouldn't be that bit of a likable person if not for Zhu Yun. While Zhu Yun always allow Li Xun to shine, he doesn't bring the best out of her in their relationship.
u can watch for the plot, romance is pretty cute and sweet, OSTs are good. I did enjoy the show but wouldn't rewatch it again. Ofcourse if you're the same as me where u are not into male leads like li xun character, then u dont have to worry about suffering from male lead syndrome.
