This show had me anxious until the last minute
I really liked this drama. I binged it in a few days, and literally did nothing but watch this show for those days just so I can get to the end. I haven't been this invested in a drama in a while. This is the kind of love triangle drama where you genuinely don't know who the FL is going to end up with. They went back and forth so often that when my ship started to sail, I didn't believe that it will last and I had to see it to the end.
I loved Ou Chen, especially over Luo Xi whom I hated until the last few episodes which is when I finally forgave him for all the s*** he pulled because he finally apologised. Luo Xi is the one charecter I never understood because he has the mentality of a child. When he first came into the drama he didn't like the FL then almost immediately fell head over heals. But she disliked him and didn't care for him at all. She was also already in a long term relationship with her boyfriend whom she loved. But Luo Xi did everything to break them up and later hates the FL for not resipricating his feelings for her in the past (and present). He had no right to ever hate the FL or want to seek revenge against her when she did nothing wrong, she can like whomever she wants. I blame him for a lot of the misfortune the FL had to suffer and he didn't deserve the love of her or her family.
Ou Chen was such a sweet character and his relationship with the FL did seem a bit toxic at first, but then again we never actually got to see how their relationship was before Luo Xi started messing around with their heads. Because before he showed up, their relationship was going in a nice flow (not at all toxic), which is why the first episode was so good. I wish we got to see more of their relationship at the start. Their story is so sweet especially how they met, we're not really told how they started to date, but it can easily be assumed. I felt like since the beginning, they were always meant to be together, and the other ML is the villain if anything.
The acting was good especially for both ML's but I didn't particularly like the FL's acting. I couldn't tell whether her lack of expression and lack of emotion was because of how her character was written or because of the acting. At first I thought it was just the character, and I liked having an FL that comes off as cold, cold because she wanted to protect herself. Which is what she essentially said that she did. But even in some really emotional scenes (plot wise), she shows no expressions, she does everything in a poker face. I understand that her character comes off as a bit depressed, but she can't even pull a sad face. However, her character started to show a lot of emotions in the last few episodes. I cried through the last 2 episodes because her character was so pitiful and I didn't notice just how pitiful her character was throughout the drama until the last few episode. It was like her emotional barrier finally broke, but it would have been nicer if it had broken earlier.
The actor who played Ou Chen did an amazing job. His charecter came off as both cold and warm somehow, and I was in love with his charecter since the first episode. He did so much for the FL without actually telling her how much effort he put in. He was a very straight forward and reasonable person similar to the FL, but he looses all of this when it comes to the FL and his relationship. I just wish he told her how much effort he put in especially with his gifts because a gift is all about the thought, and he hand made all the gifts he gave her, but he never tells her this. He also had some of the best character development and I loved his friendship with Simon and David, it was my favourite friendship in the entire drama. I loved watching the trio work together and have conversations with each other, because usually it would be two of them agreeing with each other and one of them talking to himself (usually Simon) or just zoning out (Ou Chen).
The ending seemed a bit rushed, especially for such a long drama that dragged the relationship between the FL and Luo Xi. I wanted the FL and Ou Chen to have a romantic relationship for longer in this drama, but the ending was rushed and didn't show me as much as I wanted to see of their relationship. The ending was also very emotional and the last minute twists were pointless, I hated the back and forth relationship of the FL and ML's, you litterally have to watch the drama until the last minute to see who she ends up with, even though you already know who it will be at around episode 30. But I was really satisfied with the ending. It's the ending I wanted, and at least I got that. And I didn't really care for any other romantic relationships but I loved all the friendships in this drama.
