I watched all 38 episodes of this thing and all I can say is, "Sheng Huainan is an idiot."

Handsome (to Caesar what belongs to Caesar and Hu Yitian with that mole on his nose umm...), but an idiot at the end.
Honestly speaking, I don't usually criticize things that I don't like, because I firmly believe that everyone should make their own judgment of what they decide to consume, but in this case wow... the female representation of the series in general, I think it's terribly wrong executed, all the women in this show seem to have zero self-esteem, I do not come here to condemn unrequited love and who to try to fight, we have all been through that and it's okay, it's part of life, but honestly no love in this life reciprocated or does not deserve to go through such humiliation.

Luo Zhi and Sheng Huainan have an unequal relationship, while she is always there to support him in all his projects or personal problems, he abandons her whenever he feels a little pressure, no matter how hard the series tries to show that Luo Zhi is strong and intelligent, Sheng Huainan always considers her weak and believes that she has to solve everything on her own, boy give her the opportunity to decide what she can or cannot bear, stop making one-sided decisions, the series repeats over and over again that " Luo Zhi used everything he knew about Sheng Huainan to manipulate his feelings, "but the only one who manipulated feelings here was him.

And well, don't even make me start with Ge Bi and Jiang Baili, I ask for vindication for that poor girl, it was one humiliations after another, everything that happened to her was horrible, Ge Bi not only did not mind hurting her, using her and humiliating her in public if not that he allowed everyone around him to do it too and let's not say that he is a horrible boyfriend, he is a despicable human being, worst of all is that the series does not condemn any of this, it is like: "well, they are the things that you have to go through love ", and no, sorry but you don't have to go through all that to win anyone over, love cannot be forced and you don't have to reach out to anyone to make me love you, love is not an exchange of goods .

And finally because net I need to get out this stuck courage, it is not necessary for Sheng Huainan to be so damn unrealistic perfect, honestly the characters like that are lazy, they have no growth at all, and nobody is like that, less in early adulthood, it also turns out uncomfortable, the relationship he has with his roommates is one of total idolatry, as with the other "students" everyone loves them, it's weird, when you're at the University nobody cares, there are popular people, yes, but there are no idols .

Most of us, you, me, famous people and others, we fall madly in love with normal people with their strengths and weaknesses, they don't need to create unreal characters for us to buy into the story that it is the most magical love that has ever existed.
With everything I said, I do not want to tell other people whether or not they should watch the series, but I think it is important to make a critical consumption, please do not stay with the false idea of love that this series sells, love is not pure suffering and tragedies, this not exclusive idea of this series and is deeply embedded in the collective thought that to live a transcendental love story it must be plagued by problems, misunderstandings and pain and the reality is that no, love is much much than that, love is a transgressor force, but self-love is also, idealizing something or someone in such an exaggerated way is not healthy or fair for that person or for you.

Judging now if the series as such and not so much what made me feel, the performances are good, the story is not terrible either, but the execution leaves much to be desired, the story is tremendously long, thousands of chapters go by to put them together and then the they separate the next one so the rhythm of the series is strange and the ending is just rushed, the song is cute but they repeat it over and over again ad nauseam.
As individual characters I think they all have a lot of juice, they are interesting and could make their stories work but the series does not let them grow, it traps them in its web of misunderstandings and toxic relationships, so we see them do the same over and over again. Once, if they were allowed to mature as human beings, things would be very different.
I was left with that, what was and is not, all wasted potential.
