Do you really do who am I?

The actors did a wonderful job and Joseph Zeng shows his versatility in this show.

The drama is about the life of Li Jia and it is depicted in chapters. Li Jia’s entire family is plagued with mental illness, specifically Schizophrenia. Li Jia tries extremely hard to stay afloat to keep his mental stability as he must turn reach his twenty fourth birthday to know if he is schizophrenic or not. He goes to Hong Kong to study with an expert, who is not only his professor and doctor, but also his arch enemy. Li Jia meets his new best friends, Shi Cheng, and Zhang Cha Cha (Cha Cha) and love, Cha Cha.

Each chapter has a new stressor for Li Jia and the intensity grows with each chapter. However, he is able to solve the mysteries and maintain mental stability with the help of his friends. Li Jia is even able to hold it together for Cha Cha when he finds out that her mother also has a mental issue. Additionally, he was able to hold strong when Cha Cha lost her biggest and most important support in life, Xiao Xi.

However, when the Professor, Chen Ming Xuan (Chen) starts to notice that Li Jia is doing fine and is no longer meeting his personal needs, he manipulates Li Jia that he should not have friends or a love. When Li Jia starts to distant himself from Cha Cha, we notice a break in his mental stability where his alter personality comes out to play subtly. We see more of this when Cha Cha is kidnapped. However, with the help of the Assistant Professor, who calls out Chen on his personal exploitation, see Li Jia mental break cease to make an appearance. However, the Professor Chen knowingly pushes the most intense stressor onto Li Jia causing his alter personality to come out fully.

This is where the story starts to fail because it abruptly ends. If there is a second season the makers needed to indicate that more than just having a cliff hanger.
