A Cute Watch
Do I care about the step brothers plot? Nope! But the main leads are very likable. These were my first thoughts watching this series. I know a lot of people really love this HIStory story and I kinda get it. But I also still think this was wayyyyy too short, which is usually the case for mini series. HIStory 3 MODC and Trapped solved this problem with devoting an entire season to each story. So it flows smooth and you get plenty of time for character development and chemistry. This series did well enough with its allotted time, but I couldn't get past wanting much more from it.
Honestly I didn't really care about the volleyball stuff, I watch enough Haikyuu as it is lol. Which I appreciate them mentioning that in this series. And Slam Dunk lol. This took up a good amount of time in the show, so I was kinda fast forwarding a little through those scenes. Though they were done well. I liked the plot of Qiu Zi Xuan's injury and Xia Yu Hao taking care of him. That was sweet. Their chemistry was pretty solid, but it would've been amazing with more time. The idea of the sister liking him and having to come to terms with her brother getting Xia Yu Hao instead was also interesting! I wanted more time with that too.
What we did get between them was worthwhile to watch, so I would say give this series a try! It wasn't quite enough payoff for me but if you start off with this one and work up to MODC and Trapped you'll probably have a more solid experience than I did.
