blinkable
So this drama is adapated from novel. I don't know whether the drama sticks close to the novel but if it did then I can only imagine the torture of reading the novel with the endless repeating misunderstandings over minor stuff in the characters' interactions throughout the story plot. At many a times, the conversations between the characters also quite mundane and waste of scenes. And be prepared to be bombarded by many scenes filled with side romance stories that somehow almost overshadowing the main love story in this drama. At one point you may even be like me, asking self whose love stories am I watching here - yeap to that point. The story plot also barely made sense to me because up until more than half of the drama was focusing on how everyone is just being selfish and then suddenly everyone like receiving enlightenment to be forgiving and accepting after 7 years of everything.
The only thing really saving this drama is the acting. The casts overall did pretty good job in their respective roles, especially the two MCs, with good chemistry when together, whether to solve another misunderstandings or to dwell in the past or being cheeky with one another. If you go and watch the MV for one of the drama's OST sung by Tank, titled, The Positive and Negative of Love, then you will see what I meant here. The bgm throughout the drama was quite appealing to me and so does the outfits worn by the characters and the pretty scenes from London to even Nan Xian's condo with balcony of great view while exercising lol. I think perhaps it was hard at times to digest some nonsensical convos or the story progress that I somewhat turned to other parts in he drama worth noticing.
The other thing I would like to highlight about this drama is that you really get to see the development of characters. This is especially on the female MC, Wen Nuan and how the male MC, Nan Xian tried his best to get her to step out, although sometimes backfired. There was also a part on how the writer tried to illustrate the friendship/bromance of the 3 guys who built their own 'empire' together in which we get to see how true friends are the ones who let you grow with them.
Nonetheless, this is a drama about how true love has its ups and downs and over time, you grow together by bringing out the best of each other, that runs deep, not even time can stop it as long as you preserve.
