What the hell was that?
Lu Feng (Ayden Sng) and Xiao Cheng (Lu Si Tong) met in high school and later began a relationship in college. However, due to various setbacks and family issues, they were forced to part ways. Years later, they reunite as boss and employee, and then embark on the journey that will lead them to be together.
I really wanted to understand at what point this series lost its way.
I don’t even know where to start when talking about this show, because it was the story of a relationship built over years that just started to fall apart on its own. Things were going well until around episode 6, then Lu Feng GOES CRAZY, and that was it. He’s emotionally unstable, and Xiao is a poor guy who apparently doesn’t have a shred of self-respect, he was abused, held captive, and treated like a doormat and in the end, I’m supposed to understand because he’s bipolar. I won’t get into how bipolar disorder was portrayed because I don’t think it’s relevant. The two clearly have a messed-up emotional codependency, and nobody does anything about it. HE ALMOST LEFT HIS BROTHER PARAPLEGIC, God only knows what would’ve happened to him if Qin Lang hadn’t had money.
The brother and the brother-in-law (who are actually a DECENT couple) tried to warn them, and the plot tried to cast them as villains, everything about this shit is wrong. What exactly was the moral of the story in the end? About how couples should support each other through hard times? Then at the end, they want us to forget the LITERALLY criminal acts that took place and all the mental torture, but in the end Lu Feng is in love with him, so it’s all good.
Lu Feng’s anger is justifiable to a certain extent, he gave up everything for Xiao, and at first he prioritized his own unhappiness over his mother’s, but his outburst isn’t justifiable: pushing the guy down the stairs. THAT’S WHAT STRESSES ME OUT
I don’t know how to critique this series, it just annoyed and stressed me out. It’s well-produced, with good shots, good angles, and flawless acting. BUT IT’S NOT WORTH IT
I stuck with it for the secondary couple, who, if you add up all their screen time, don’t even total 15 minutes, but we get attached to the little details.
