Disappointing...

I had a lot of problems with this drama and most of them were because of the story.
First, the development between TengTeng and Licheng was very poorly done. The friendship at the beginning was great but everything went downhill from there. Licheng fell in love and immediately began to act without giving TengTeng any time to think things through. I had major problems with how Licheng made major decisions without consulting his other half-like buying a house. TengTeng will also have to live in that house for the rest of his life but he never got a chance to choose and only got consulted after it had been bought and he had to help carry a 30-years mortgage. This isn't how a relationship should be.
Xingsi and Yongjie were a better couple in my books. Yongjie's personality is very excessive and the relationship didn't start well but the development was better than TengCheng. The stepmother was a gem and the father was a well-thought-out character.
The worst thing about the show was the rotten girls. Fangirling should be kept to fictional characters or stars but it shouldn't be done so excessively with regards to the people around you. After all, there is a difference between life and fiction. The drama failed to draw that line and treated the TengCheng relationship as too much of a joke.
Overall, I liked that the actors were quite good looking especially Teng Muren but the story was disappointing.
