Annoying side casts yet again ;(

I read somewhere that this drama was underrated, and that it was really good. So starting it off, it had promise.

But as most Cdramas of late, it just went sour. I started skipping and FF a lot...
1) Annoying side casts - Elise, Victor, Boris, Xianyu.. childish, overly dramatic and their characters were just poorly written.
2) Plot- I understand that the ML was betrayed and was slowly being poisoned. If he was smart, he would have quickly changed doctor and gotten a 2nd opinion. His mistake was putting too much trust in his ex-gf / also business partner. I read many reviews that the ending was just terrible.
3) Makes no sense- any person found cheating in a competition would be reported & disqualified immediately. Any crime committed also would be punished, but apparently not in this drama. How does the writer expect the audience to watch this??!!
4) Romance- too slow burn for me. I didn’t mind the age gap at all, and the chemistry between both leads was quite convincing. It just took too long for them to kiss (let’s be honest here ;) ) I dropped this at episode 21, but I JUST HAD TO SEE some spark between them. So I skipped to Epi 35&36 where there was a somewhat confession and kisses. Haha
5) Too many episodes - yep. 40... could have just done with 24.

Ethan Juan was a real eye candy though ;) Hope he chooses better scripts in future.
