A painful watch...
I was excited to watch this drama because of the high rating and while I'm not a fan of Jing Bo Ran, I like Sun Qian. But i did not expect this show is painful to watch. I hated all the gaslighting. The show romanticized toxic love. This is a story of the relationship between two individuals who do not trust each other, no gentleness and no communication. It was purely physical. The ML was arrogant, selfish, harsh and rude and he liked to brandish his wealth. The FL was insecure and stupidly accepted his bad attitude. Honestly how can these two mismatch individuals lasted 6 years in this toxic relationship? They were happier and at peace when they are with their respective friends. The drama has too many loopholes for me too. It did not really explore the psyche of the ML and why he became like that. His father was strict but there were no scenes depicting him of being abusive. And the ML had a caring mother who seemed to get along well with his father. Why did he become abominable? And why the FL became so meek and insecure despite growing up in a loving family? Did I miss important scenes while watching this drama? I really wonder. I finished the show with a heavy heart and despite the ending, I really couldn’t root for them to stay together. I wished they just stayed away from each other. This is zero rewatch value for me.
