Just watch for Li Chen and Mu Ren

At first I thought this was going to be an awesome show and it mostly was. It is filled with handsome guys that might like each other and some girls that actually nice to look at and they don't have any toxic "lets hip them together" attitudes. The plot was very simple but brilliantly executed. Most of the lead characters had jobs, which was a huge brake from the school boy drama (though I love them) and they had great chemistry with each other. It could have been so sweet if it was just about Li and Mu.

Li Chen and Mu Ren had such a fun and healthy relationship that I actually was wondering if they were ever pretending to be together. It seemed so natural for them to be together, they literally balanced each other like light and dark. Their comedic timing, their witty banter, their general love hate relationship had me rolling for most of the serious. I can see how they ended up confused about each other in the end, because their love for each other ran deep and I think they only realised it when they began their fake date...

However, Fu Yong Jie and Xing Si were literally the heights of toxicity and it was attempted to be shown as love. Xing Si is a total crazy and we all know he inherited that from his mother. What sort of mother encourages their son to do something like that to another human bean? Also who tries to brush something like rape off as a minor thing. Having these two characters end up together in any capacity was a huge mistake. No human in their right mind should have to be put through this, especially by someone that claims to love them soooooo much.
