Not Enemies, Not Just Friends
This is not a story that fits perfectly into either enemies to lovers or friends to lovers. In fact, it's much more about two people who have loved each other for years but needed time and maturity to understand their feelings and learn how to express that love in the right way.The connection between them is palpable from the very beginning, and their chemistry works so well that even the simplest moments are filled with emotion.
Beyond the romance, the story delivers a beautiful emotional journey, showing that loving someone also means learning how to communicate, trust, and allow yourself to be vulnerable.

it has it's moments
As someone who actually enjoyed watching this, I think the biggest problem wasn't the characters, the story, or the acting, but the directing.The character development was interesting to watch, and their chemistry was definitely there, but the director didn't quite know what to do with it, especially during the NC scenes (which, in this case, were a big part of the story).
Anyway, for me, it had a lot of wasted potential, but overall, it was a fun and easy watch!

it's a great drama/dark romance
From my point of view, this story is about broken people who make many mistakes until they finally find peace with the consequences of their choices. I also think it highlights how strongly family influence can interfere in someone’s life.The overall narrative is quite obsessive, toxic, and often dangerous. The characters go through a lot, but in the end they still manage to find a way to be together, and, in my opinion, that is exactly what the story wanted to convey.
My favorite part is how the show actually addresses Lu Feng’s mental health condition (which I don’t think is bipolar disorder, but he clearly struggles with something). I also appreciate how it shows him receiving treatment and makes it clear that he will need to continue taking medication and managing it long-term.
The actors are splendid and have beautiful chemistry, which definitely elevates the show even further.
Overall, I think it is a good show, but for obvious reasons—since it becomes quite dark at certain points—it is not for everyone. I would describe it more as a dark romance than a traditional romance, and more of a drama above all else.
