The ending was realistic, but completely unnecessary. I saw the foreshadowing and expected an accident, but to completely kill off the most disadvantaged and hard working character for no reason is just unnecessary cruelty (does not add to the story at all).

In addition, it looked like the parents probably rejoiced that Yu XiGu was gone and 6 years later were still pushing AHao to get a gf.. Imagining the dad half thanking gods for Yu's death just made me hate the ending even more. This ending just ruined the show and insulted invested viewers.

Yu XiGu had a tragic backstory and struggled to have a better life, overworked himself; we're even shown his modest accommodationd and bread+water meals. He then falls in love, and we see him start to open up and smile. He shows courage and maturity when facing AHao's parents. Not sure how the writers decided it was a good idea to sacrifice him, the tragedy of his life went full circle and did not even add to AHao's character development, just crushed him (he changed after meeting Yu). If I wanted stories that unfair, I would read Reuters instead.

The ending was slow, the lookalike junior was a strange addition, however Wayne Song did great in breakdown scenes and I liked his moments with SunBo, but overall last episode was out of place and unnecessary.

Music was great, complemented scenes well.

The intimate scenes felt really realistic, well acted and couple's development was interesting. The banter between friends was very realistic too, not overacted. I personally liked the 2nd couple and both actors.

Great cast overall, believable dialogue, well acted emotions, all ruined by one unskilled plot twist.
