Repetive storyline and horrible background music

The storyline feels repetitive and unengaging. The female lead (FL) is constantly harmed, only to be saved by the second male lead (2ML), while the main male lead (ML) perpetually arrives too late. This overused plot cycle makes the series predictable and monotonous.

The background music is one of the worst I've encountered in Chinese dramas. It often clashes with the scenes, completely ruining the mood. For example, in emotional moments where the actors are meant to convey sadness, the music is oddly cheerful, making the performances feel out of sync. It's as if the music director is completely tone-deaf to the tone of the scenes.

The worst performance comes from Baili Weisheng, particularly in the scene where his character discovers his mother is still alive. His reaction comes across as dumb and wooden, making an emotionally charged moment feel flat and uninspired.
