You know things are bad when by the 4th episode out of 20 episodes, you're still confused about what the plot is supposed to be about. (I wasn't the only one who was confused. As I scrolled through the YouTube comments section, many people were confused as well.) To clear my confusion, I decided to head over to MyDramaList and look over the plot summary.

But guess what? I was even more confused.

When I watched the show, it seemed to start out as a typical story. An innocent school girl falls in love with a handsome boy she sees at the bus stop every day. He ends up transferring to her school and becoming her classmate. Things seemed to pick up really quickly for just the first episode alone and I was waiting to see how much more their relationship was going to progress. But by the end of the first episode, another love interest/rival enters and the said innocent school girl has fallen for that person instead??? Like girl, weren't you head-over-heels in love with that bus stop guy you nicknamed "Pleasant Goat" (Xi Yang Yang)???

To me, it seemed like multiple writers couldn't decide on which "popular" trope they wanted to go with so they decided to put all the things they wanted together and created this confusing mess of a drama. They just dumped this backstory on a few of the characters that didn't play out in a way that made sense. For example, the second love interest, Chu Lu, is supposed to be some star. But after the first episode where there was this glamorous "Oh My God, it's THAT star" scene, it's like Chu Lu is just a normal person. Like ???

TL;DR: Am I going to continue watching? Probably not, since it feels like a waste of time.

Should you watch it? If you're that bored, then sure. But there are better things for you to watch.
