Great music but plot was too slow and mostly boring

I loved the music in this drama. I loved every single song that was played and I never really listened to Cpop before, only OST's of Cdrama's I've watched, but this drama got me into Cpop. It also got me into Z.Tao's music. I can now say that I am a fan of Z.Tao's music and I love his rapping, which is ironic because I don't like rap music (English), but I now like Chinese rap.

I loved the two main lead characters in this drama, especially Z.Tao's charecter. After watching some his videos, I feel like his character really suited him.
I also liked Janice's character. Sometimes her character was annoyingly nice, but I LOVED her loyalty.

I didn't particularly like the second lead characters: Zirui and Yuan. They were okay at first, and towards the end when the drama was finally starting to get good, I started to dislike their characters and even outright HATED them especially Yuan. There is a love triangle of sorts in this drama, but I never liked the second lead, he was a hypocrite who would throw away everything to get his career, which is the exact opposite of the main lead.

I loved the character development of Zheng. He really grows in this drama but I loved him even before his charecter development.

This drama had a really slow, slow burn romance. But it was so real. The characters slowly fall in love with each (after more than half the drama) without even realising. And you can really see how their treatment of each other changes. But their bickering never stops nor change in any way, which I loved. I loved how Zheng and ZhenZhen stuck with each other through thick and thin and you see how much they both sacrificed to be with each other even before they actually got together.

The romance was good. The music was great. The main characters were also great. I especially loved Zheng's story especially around episode 30 onwards, but other than that, I hated everything else about this drama. The first half of the drama didn't even focus much on the main characters. There is so much business talk that I skipped though more than half this drama. There isn't even any comedy or non-toxic, ship worthy couples to fill the plot. It was just plain and BORING business talk and side characters there's nothing to like about. Which is why my rating is low.

I was originally going to give this 5 stars only for the music and Zheng's character, not to mention the chemistry between the leads. But the last several episodes really had a plot improvement by focusing more on the leads and their career, especially Zheng's career. But I skipped more of this drama than I actually watched, if it wasn't for the music I'd say it wasn't worth watching at all.
