It was entertaining to the least

I would not say this drama was extraordinary, but it definitely wasn't bad. If you want to just pass some time I think this may be a good fit especially since the episodes are short.

That all being said you may have to put aside your morals in order to be accepting of the ML. He is quite manipulative and gaslights the FL for a good majority of the plot. His gaslighting and manipulation and the sole reasons why he was so close to the FL and the FL is incredibly gullible and just believes all his lies without a second thought. This was quite infuriating and it is certainly not a healthy basis for a relationship. But it pains me to say this, his gaslighting was one of the best parts of the show. His manipulation was laughable, but after he got with the FL, he stopped being manipulative and the show got boring.

After the leads got together it was evident that that was the point of the show and many episodes after were wasted. I love side couples, but in my opinion, they had too much screen time. I love seeing other couples get together, but this series dedicated around 3 episodes for a single couple to get together and it felt like a miniseries, as nice as this sounds it was a waste of the episodes when the show could've focused on something more productive. It was great for Rain Wang because she played two characters and since the show focused on side couples so much, she had the most screentime of the cast.

Since so much time was wasted on side couples, the last couple of episodes were rushed and unsavory. It seemed that was everything together because they knew they had to end the show so soon. The last episode had three different plot lines that ended before they could begin. Seeing that this show started out so fast-paced it's a shame that they rushed all the plot holes in the last 30 minutes of the series.

All that being said, the show was still quite interesting, and I was able to finish it without many complaints, but I do wish the show didn't become dragged out and rush at the same time.
