This review may contain spoilers
Honestly, I started watching thinking that it was a different genre ... but from the beginning I got into the story. A kind of melodrama covered by a veil of comedy and lightness thanks to the otakus, especially Bryant (who I really loved)!It is rarely foreseeable, there are some cute and romantic scenes, characters are lovely and cast is really good.
Moreover, the sweet friendship that develops between Jasper and Bryant in the drama is very moving.
Definitely, something could be developed in a better way... I think this drama had a fair ending, even though... However, I don't want spoiler you anything so I merely recommend you this drama because I think it's worth a look!
Bye bye~~~
P.s. I'm so sorry for my bad english, I hope you are able to understand me...

Spent the entire drama trying to figure out who the male lead was.
I liked the idea of this drama. However, I LOVED the executed even more because it was very unique with so many twists. It was definitely worth the watch, though I have to warn you that you'd get really bad second lead syndrome.At the start of this drama, for the first several episodes I was certain that Shu Hai was the ML and that Jasper Liu's character was the SML. I was hoping to be wrong throughout this entire drama because I had serious second lead syndrome and after around 9 episodes, I thought that Jasper might in fact be the ML. It was one hell of a ride figuring out who the ML is and hoping it's Hong Pei.
I didn't like Shu Hai at first. I loved his loyalty and friendship with Hong Pei, but he's crush on Si Yi was outright creepy. I was surprised by the 180 he made with his relationship with Si Yi, it went from creepy and "perverted" (as Hong Pei likes to call it), to really sweet and understanding. I still preferred Hong Pei over Shu Hai.
Ending (SPOILERS):
I HATED the ending of this drama. It's one of those tragic dramas that gives you hope for a happy ending and you almost get it. But, then at the very last minute, it gives you the worst possible ending. I hated this drama for giving me so much hope. I really wanted Hong Pei and Si Yi to end up together, it made complete sense for that to happen as Si Yi's feelings for Hong Pei hadn't changed in the 6 years he's been 'dead'. She spent 6 years mourning him, but never gave up on him, and she still ended up with Shu Hai!!!
I have nothing against Shu Hai, but it should have been Hong Pei.
Not to mention the fact that Shu Hai hasn't ever interacted with Hong Pei whilst Hong Pei was alive. Shu Hai and Hong Pei had such a good friendship. Shu Hai even mourned for Hong Pei when he saw Hong Pei's body in a coma, despite being able to interact with his soul. It's so messed up that they couldn't meet as people and share a drink together like they always wanted. I wanted them to have a lifelong friendship and I am so sad that, that didn't happen.
It's messed up that Hong Pei and Si Yi couldn't end up together. Or, that Shu Hai and Hong Pei couldn't be friends whilst they were both alive and conscious. It felt like the entire plot of the drama was pointless since these didn't happen.

It's a great tale about the importance of love and how this affects friendship, both in a good and bad way! Would definitely re-watch this again. Jasper does a great job in evoking the emotional and happy moments in this drama. Even the supporting female was so relatable to me!
TL;DR
Starts off happy and a bit 'ehh' at some times. But the further you go, the further the characters grow! Worth watching for sure. I tend to be impatient with my dramas and drop dramas a lot if I don't like it. But i gave this one a chance and I sure don't regret it :)
