Strong beginning but underwhelming in the end
Let me start with a good part. I thought the main romance was one of the most realistic ones I've seen on any cdramas or k-dramas. You didn't have that childish thing you see in most of them, where if somebody even accidentally touches hands, they act like they're going to get married. It was an adult romance with real feelings and really good chemistry.
Unfortunately the whole thing dragged too long and there was only so much they could keep repeating the same dilemma of whether she would stay in her hometown with him, or go back to Shanghai for work.
And the weirdest thing is that in the end they just kind of ignored that main dilemma. They ended up getting together, she stays in Shanghai, he stays in his hometown, and we're supposed to believe that this thing that was an insurmountable problem was magically not an issue anymore. So it felt really unresolved.
Overall I still liked it but it was kind of underwhelming in the end.
