Cringe

First of all I would like to say that I have not seen the previous adaptations of this and I knew very little about the story beforehand.

Story:
The backbone of this is the typical popular/rich/smart guy who falls for the unpopular girl. It also happens that he has a crazy and overbearing mother who of course doesnt like our FL because she is poor and she has nothing to ''offer'' the ML. I have watched and enjoyed many of this kind of dramas but this was not one of them.
Most of the drama is just cringe. There is not other word for it really. Our couple constantly make empty promises to each other about facing things together etc but they seem to suffer from amnesia because next episode they are apart for some stupid reason that the writers came up with. Also the plot with the evil mother just gets out of hand at some point. By episode 40 I was just tired and dropped the whole thing. The reason I continued watching this long was the actors' good looks.

Acting:
This was my first time seeing dylan wang and shen yue act and i think they did a pretty decent job with the script they were given. Couldnt have done anything more. Having watched general's lady, the chang an youth and My unicorn girl, I know Caesar Wu and Darren Chen can do so much better if they are given a good script. So acting was not the problem in this drama, the script was.

Music:
Tired of listening to "Say something I am giving up on you" and other english songs here and there in the drama

Rewatch Value: Nope
Watch Value: Nope
