Toxic but addictive
I think we can separate the relationships in this drama into three main categories:
1. The brotherhood of the three male leads
2. The romance of the male leads
3. The parents
Number 1. The brotherhood, which I believe was amazing, complex, and real. They love each other no matter what. They fight, they act rebellious, but at the end of the day, even after a big fight, they never act against each other. Sometimes they do something wrong, but they can forgive each other for their mistakes. I LITERALLY LOVE IT!
Specifically after Qingyu's death—it is truly tragic but necessary for Qingyi's development. He finally understands that he must grow up and be responsible for his actions. There is no one he can trust to clean up after him anymore. He loses everything after his brother's death and forces himself to build a real family in the end.
Number 2. The romance
Two completely toxic and obsessive romances, and the only one between Ms. Ye and Qingyu was a little bit better. Susu is a traumatized woman, stuck in the past, blinded by revenge. A completely inappropriate girl for a relationship—and a dumb Qingyi completely blinded by love! He repeatedly puts himself in danger and, more interestingly, never gives up. Such a toxic couple.
And the third couple, which is based on doubt and never trusting each other until death.
The only nearly healthy couple ended in death at the verge of reaching happiness.
Number 3. Parenting
I thought there were two completely schizophrenic parents. What was that really? I think the Mourong lady is not normal. If they wanted to show a woman with a mental disorder, it would be better to show that she had problems with all three, not just Qingyi. She really cared about blood and inheritance but loved BZ—you know, it's a contradiction. I would prefer a woman completely diagnosed with schizophrenia after her husband's death, not healthy in some aspects.
The character of Li's father is a black box to me—I never understood him at all! So I prefer not talking about it.
Generally
I liked the show, but the storyline has some logical gaps. The acting of the entire cast was perfect, and the character development is acceptable to me, so I decide to give it a score of 9 for the general package, not just parts.
