4 dramas in 1 and still manages to be boring!

This drama caught my attention cause of Zhang Han, so I thought it might be a good one!
well, after first episode, I figured I should lower my expectations a lot!!
As I stated in the title of the review, it's like 4 dramas about each guy that get cramped in a single drama.

Tong Yu is the main character and the other are more like support roles.
There are moments they are hanging out together out of nowhere to give us a recap of what happened and when they are together it feels like they are telling something to audience and not a talk among friends..

The only good thing I might remember about this drama is that The cast looks pretty and handsome! and that's it!

I had seen ZhangHan and Huang You Ming and Zhang Yang Guo Er in Boss&Me drama but the rest of them I haven't seen their works previously.
The acting looks stiff and fake in some scenes. (specially the Xiao fei character, his scenes are the worst in case of acting).

The first episode was boring! the rest is watchable and then it becomes barely watchable real fast...
The more I watch the more ridiculous this becomes...
There are instances and remarks in this drama that makes you wonder if a teenage boy on his puberty wrote this!
I wish they had put more efforts in dialogues to be less shallow!

Tong Yu is one of the least likable characters I've seen for a ML and he has so much ego that it makes it painful to watch him!
I used to root for Guo Chong to have a happy ending but It's so boring that I don't care about any of them anymore.

I'm not going to continue watching this! I feel like I'm losing my brain cells while doing so.
Initially I gave it a 5 and waited to see how it goes and it went for the worst. I'm feeling generous so I'll give this undeserving painfully boring drama 3!

If you are wondering if you should watch this or not... just don't!
Don't waste your time on this.. there are plenty of better dramas out there.
