Sigh
At first I enjoyed the beginning of the story which started with school memories.But then problems started to arise from family and the environment. Okay, so I understand that this stage must be passed before starting a relationship further. I also understand that at this time, neither Yi Chen nor Lu Feng had the strength to stand alone and fight back. However, when the story entered the era of meeting as coworkers, I expected them to be more mature. It seems that in this era, with the internet being so advanced, after all the conflict they experienced previously, no one thought to find out about the various risks and struggles that come with deciding to be in a relationship with someone of the same gender. Lu Feng and Yi Chen are preoccupied with their own feelings, as if they will love each other to the core, even saying the promise of "forever" but they seem completely unprepared to face the problems that might come.
They don't prepare themselves by understanding that if you want something, then you also have to be ready to let go of something. Therefore, when problems come repeatedly, those who love each other without preparation will also be hurt and hurt each other repeatedly.
Then, when the story entered the red flag era, I couldn't stop criticizing every character's choices and actions. I understand that there needs to be "drama" to make the story more interesting, but everything really fell apart. The homophobic family, then the "good" Yi Chen with all his fickle actions. Let's count,
1. Yi Chen told Lu Feng's sister that as long as he was allowed to see Lu Feng who was being treated, he would firmly stay by Lu Feng's side. But, once he found out that Lu Feng was fine, Yi Chen backed off again.
2. then, yi chen decided to wear the ring again and be with lu feng, backing out again because of lu feng's stupid actions when drunk. lu feng was indeed wrong but left without any attempt to communicate, hmmm it was as if his initial intention had no strength at all.
3. again, when yi chen said he would never leave lu feng even though he wasn't part of lu feng's family, I was happy for him. unfortunately, not long after yi chen backed out again because of his mother and younger brother hmmm.
Here, I agree with lu feng, it's unfair if yi chen isn't ready to give up anything for their relationship. It seems like Lu Feng is always the last choice that Yi Chen will defend (and this may be the beginning of Lu Feng's illness).
4. and the climax, marriage?! sigh .... Yi Chen, you... you... sigh...
at this point, I even re-imaginedthe scene where the screen was split in two, showing the condition of Yi Chen and Lu Feng because their families were separated at the beginning, changing the story with GMMTV's style so that the story wouldn't be too heavy.
Please don't misunderstand me by thinking that I fully support Lu Feng. Because I know that Lu Feng also committed many red flag actions. But, if I have to choose the best from the worst, then I am more inclined towards Lu Feng.
I can't continue this already-too-long review. I just wanted to let you know that I managed to make it to the final episode.
