It was okay

I mean it wasn't terrible. The soundtrack could have been worse and I liked the intrigue. I loved whatever was going on with Chu Chu and Oscar, I thought he was a fun character. Guan Zi Jing has always been a strong actor and I wish he would get a main role somewhere because he would do a great job at it. And of course LYX will always bring his a game and perform well.

But its a shame when the side characters are more interesting than the leads. I was very disappointed in Cheng Xiao's acting and I'm not comvinced she only got this role because she's a pretty idol. The acting skill difference between her and LYX was depressingly large and I dont think I could name a time where she didnt have the same flat expression on her face. I don’t think it's fair that LYX has to carry the chemistry of the couple because I couldn't even tell if the FL liked the ML half the time. I think Cheng Xiao would definitely benefit from MUCH more practice acting before she's given a leading role. I don't hate Cheng Xiao I just don't think her acting is strong enough to be a main character yet.

I liked the uncle as the antagonist better, as weirdly controlling as he was. The second antagonist was so creepy and not even in a fun way. I predicted him to be the real antagonist from the second he came on screen. Why be engaged to her sister if youre obsessed with the FL the entire time??? It doesn't make sense to me. Also the constant flashbacks to that one cliff scene drove me crazy. By the time episode 5 rolled around i was tired of looking at it.

Anyway, it started off strong and very quickly bored me to death. Too bad I had to drop it.
