Perfect mix of beauty and pain
Overall this series definitely exceeded my expectations. It had a few things that I really didn't expect, which made me even more invested. Truly an underrated gem of a series.
Like:
1. Magnificent acting.
2. Beautiful cinematography.
3. Su Bai. He is a great, supportive older brother, so mature and nice.
4. Su Bai breaking up with Yi Wei. I hated Yi Wei from the start, the way he treated Su Bai and everything else. So when Su Bai finally broke up with him, I was literally celebrating.
5. Pei Jia redemption arc.
6. Main character. Yes, he made a few mistakes here and there, but he is incredible, and following his story was really nice.
Dislike:
1. Pei Jia.
Pei Jia treated Su Yi like trash the whole time, seeing him as nothing more than some side character in his life. But as soon as Su Yi finally stopped chasing and left him, he finally woke up and realized that he misses him.
Despite everything, he at least had a redemption arc and changed for the best.
2. Yi Wei. Oh my god, what a spineless loser.
All he does is bend over backwards for anyone but his boyfriend. And even after Su Bai broke up with him, all he does is complain about him. Su Bai really deserves better.
He has absolutely no respect for Su Bai or Su Yi, saying that Su Bai is acting childish when clearly the only one being incredibly childish is Yi Wei.
He does make changes for the best in the end, but in my opinion it's way too late, and I personally couldn't forgive him.
3. Fang Ruizhi. This one is self-explanatory.
4. The pacing was a bit too slow for my liking.
5. Not dislike, but I personally would appreciate more if there was at least half of an episode with Pei Jia and Su Yi after they got their revenge and happy ending.
