The plot on paper seemed very interesting and compelling but once transferred to the screen, its weak points were revealed. The plot moved quite slow, especially in regards to the main couple's loveline. Since this is a drama ultimately focused about relationships, I expected, and was not surprised, by the ups and downs of a relationship. However, what ultimately disappointed me was the way these ups and downs were shown. The common tropes about a cheating ex who won't let go, the bratty third party, a meddling mother, etc. are all nothing new and didn't add anything exciting to the storyline. Rather, it made it predictable and quite boring.
Acting: (8.5/10)
The actors honestly were the ones who saved this drama. Although the character themselves are written very 2D, I must commend the actors and actresses for bringing them to life and adding depth. The good acting and chemistry between the main leads were the only reason I didn't drop this drama entirely.
Overall: (7/10)
This drama could have been great, but ultimately felt flat with the weak writing, even with the great acting. I would not watch this drama again, or if I did, I would skip the first 2/3 and get right into the meat with our main couple. The side characters are very 2D and common tropes you can see in any other romance storyline, so eventually they become repetitive fillers that are just there for the purpose of dragging out the storyline instead of being an actual obstacle to the relationship or allowing the couple to grow.

Having it doesn't exactly make the story automatically bad.
I enjoyed it mainly because we are supposed to see how the main characters reacted to challenges
The male lead was weak at the beginning unlike the female lead
It was a breath of fresh air to have a strong female lead and a weak male lead unlike your usual fare.
The male lead grows and the female leads learns to be vulnerable.
Talk about role reversal

Slow burn Romantic Comedy with meddling parents
I was holding myself from picking a new wuxia/xianxia drama to watch and this drama was useful, the male lead totally matches the tag: indecisive male lead. The drama is like those romantic comedy from ends of 90s beginning of 00s, and chick lit books, so i had some laughs till now, there is some weird background song that always get me another laugh cause its a bad choice for the scenes, dunno, over dramatic song. It is somehow interesting see the actor Hu Ge dressing casually, even though the clothes here are awfully outdated(Someone please burn those belts). The acting is okey, the history is simple and there is a bunch of misunderstanding situations as we see in american romantic comedy as well, some funny some not.Many not popular opinions are showed here, against Korea, woman and men relationship etc. The other couples are cool in the beginning, but you get tired of them fast.
The marriage obsession in this drama is a bit disgusting, I really hate people who press other people into marriage or set you up with creepy guys or awful blind date. There was already a bunch of meddling parents, by the end they add even more and more girlfriends and gifts too. I never watched a drama so capitalist, everybody is always giving gifts or buying expensive things. But in the end, was cute see the couple be happy, although the sad moments.
