idk what to feel tbh
Honestly, I have watched so many Korean and Chinese dramas that I am used to all the cliches, love triangles and etc that usually happen. I started watching this drama because I knew most of the cast (FL, and ML) from previous dramas they performed in and liked their acting skills.
Overall, this drama was interesting, but at the same time it disappointed me greatly. I thought the idea of the story was interesting, but the way it was executed was poor to me. That is just my opinion though. I thought there could have been a lot more character development for Meng Yan. Like, I said, I understand the drama cliche of the FL falling for the ML lead because she saw him save someone, but in this case I felt like she just fell in love with him way to fast. Like girl, come on, you have not even met the man yet formally. Yes, yes love-at-first-sight is in the description, but still. Watch it and you may see what I mean.
Another character that kind of bothered me was Ke Ming. I can see his love he has for her and indeed he has more scenes with Meng Yan than Mo Bai does, but I felt like his love also became a crazy obsession and stalking. I felt like if he truly loved her, he would have accepted the fact that she did not feel the same way for him, and moved on. I would have not opposed their friendship and I felt like he indeed was a great addition, but I just felt like the writer could have wrote his character better in terms of his love for Meng Yan. All love for Ke Ming though his character is such a caring, sweet and great person, but in terms of his love for Meng Yan I just thought at times he was stalking her.
This brings me to another point that bothered me. I wanted to see more of Meng Yan and Mo Bai's journey together as a couple. From how they originally met, to the end when she recovers from the accident and they reunite. The ending could have been done better. I wanted to see more of the Mo Bai and Meng yan's love story. (now this where I want to see the cliche stuff) I wanted to see him kiss her, hug her, hold her hand, become jealous, support her on her journey in work, and etc. I understand he is an A.I. robot, but I felt like more could have been done to show the love line between Meng Yan and Mo Bai because afterall they have been through a lot of sticky situations. I saw someone write a review on youtube about the series and they stated this: " It would have been cool if Mo Bai hadn't left when her Mom sort of made that assumption, it would have been nice to hear him speak on his love for her instead of just running away as he did throughout the series." I agree with this person whole heartedly. I felt this drama was filled with Mo Bai running away from how he is truly feeling after facing some inner turmoil. Rather than facing it he cont to hurt Meng Yan and just expected her to return to him later as if everything was ok. It was not okay. He clearly broke her heart several times and caused her excruciating pain. He probably felt the same, but if her truly cared and loved her, he should have stayed with her through thick and thin and they could have worked through the problems together. I can say the same for Meng Yan, why was she staying with a man who was constantly hurting her? and even after hurting her and causing her heart to break, she went back to him so easily. Seriously? Like, come on girl have some self love and self respect.
