Life Choices or Fate?
Having watched this drama, I still don't know what to make of it. It's a very, very strange melodrama that I really can't recommend to anyone. I can't even get wrap my head around what the message was supposed to be.The SML did the right thing most of the time, but the FL still chose the other guy, just because the script made it so that she would choose him. The SML becomes obsessed with her, which is terrible, but she kind of manipulated him into becoming that way through her interactions with him.
Maybe the theme was: choose someone who won't become such a fan of yours that he will turn into a simp? I don't know, but I do know that choosing the bad boy just because he isn't from a rich family is a really poor moral.
I can't prescribe to China's vilification of the rich, as I don't think money, or the lack of it, is a determining factor in the moral quality of a human being, and that's what I think is most important.
The acting of the SML is heavily criticised for not being very good, but I disagree. It is certainly an over-the-top theatrical performance, but this is a melodrama, and there was nothing wrong with it. Actually, it was refreshing to see a male character cry and display his emotions outwardly. He was a sensitive character that I probably enjoyed more than the actual ML.
I was rooting for the SML the whole time, in fact. Even when he became obsessed with the FL. He was a sweet, sensitive soul who gave his heart away to the wrong girl, and I felt bad for him.
Anyway, the story is a huge melodrama mess, and overall this is not a great drama, but I so wish sensitive, sweet characters could get the FLs in Chinese dramas.

A lifetime story in short
I won't beat around the bush , I liked it, simple, collected, well structured.it is important to point out that the character emphasizes development, which is extremely important when we are talking about such a topic. here, affection and love were brought to the center to deepen the characters in us. in other words, he steered some in the right direction, some in the wrong. the film cuts it right in your face, you don't have to think much about who will do what next, how things will turn out or what the final outcome will be.
we start with a quick and spectacular character introduction, which of course reveals who will be with whom, as an introduction, then the story takes us nicely through their lives with its joys and sorrows. we can sob and rejoice with him, but we know what will happen, specifically we mentally prepare ourselves.
I felt some stiffness in the actors, but overall I was satisfied. there isn't a lot of intrigue, but it's just enough to make you hate or love someone. the love triangle is the main reason why it happens, and it is possible that it existssometimes I was surprised how girlishly excited I can be, but that's what the first love , romcom is for.
this is about family, friendship, innocence, love,
power.
if someone decides to do it, he will finish it in two days, it doesn't leave such a deep mark, but I watched it because of the chemistry of the main characters and how they change for each other or against. Have some slot twists I have to say.
excellent for a union film, I recommend who want something light based on feeling
