Typical modern romance with a few good points

I had heard from several people that this was outstanding and one of the best shows, so maybe the problem is that I was expecting more. Instead it was a typical romance. Starts in high school, they had "current" interviews with the couple and then major flashbacks to high school, then a separation and misunderstanding, and finally they get together. So nothing new or really interesting. It was fine but that is all.

What I did like... the chemistry between the FL and ML was great, I guess that is why they were married for a time in real life. I loved the relationship between FL, Zhao Qiao Yi, and her brother, Zhao Guan Chao. In fact I loved the FL's family. Her mother and step-father may have been the best part pf the show and they were what I enjoyed the most. I also liked I guess what would be the third couple - Fei Da Chuan and Cheng You Mei. I thought they were adorable.

What didn't;t work for me so much.... none of them looked like high school students and about 1/3 rd of the show was set in high school especially the brother. The FL was the typical not so bright, ditsy but happy girl that chases after the aloof smart ML. I really do not like silly FL and she would seem ok and then morph back into the silly girl almost talking like a 5 year old to the ML.

What I absolutely found annoying was the way they portrayed Zhao Guan Chao as a doctor. Maybe having doctors in my family, they were not that immature in grade school as he was as a doctor. It seemed really inappropriate to me. That was more of an annoyance since I liked him bit they should have given him another profession. What I disliked most of all was the second FL Hao Wu Yi. I absolutely could not stand her. She was a spoiled brat most of the show, when she finally grows up I couldn't;t have cared less and did feel any sympathy for her since she was a horrible daughter and the mom was non existent the whole show so why care. Plus I didn't feel any chemistry between her and Zhao Guan Chao. They should have just let him be an awesome brother and son, which he was.

Just goes to show how everyone has their own opinions to shows.
