A story of obsessive psycho and his Stockholm syndrome lover he can't let go

The boundary between love and obsession is very thin. Nothing is good is it's too much. Since the beginning Lu feng's obsession runs too deep and Yi chen is just a hopeless mouse who will never b able to get out of his paws. Two boys met, fell in love what could go wrong right? But here everything went wrong. As much as I hate lu feng's action I also realize that it was the society that driven him to take such drastic steps. Then again you can't control what happens to you but what you do is your responsibility. Both parent family gave them no choice, either abandon the world or leave your love cause they knew even love cannot survive alone

Lu feng and Yi chen were wronged by their parents, the society. Lu feng's anger management issue made him took some drastic steps that is irreversible. And Yi chen's cowardice only made it worse. Both of them are at fault. They can't be together yet can't stay without each other either. Such a paradoxical fate

Let me praise Ayden. This actor did a tremendous job. Lu feng before theirs separation, after meeting and at last two episode were totally three different person. His expression are perfected to the micro level. I enjoyed each of his scene. The more I hated lU feng the more I loved the actor. He did that hell of a job
Yichen was cute, sunshine. perfect cast for what the role needed at the beginning. That's why their chemistry shined so much. But later his acting paled compared to Ayden
The worst part of this series is probably screenwriting. There is literally no coherent storyline going on. We are jumping from one scene to another. Everyone beside main two characters are sow piece and barely has any value to the plotline. The second couple.... severed nothing though their story had so much potential. There is no logic behind what's going on. This show is only watchable if you are focusing on the main character's chemistry otherwise there's nothing really noteworthy

So my question is can a trash plotline be saved by a couple with sizzling chemistry?
