This drama is one of the worst dramas I have ever seen. I don't like romcoms and I only watched it because of Xiao Zhan. I hoped it not to be too bad, but it was worse than I expected. The female lead, her two friends and the relationship where absolutely horribly portrayed. The female lead is stupid, childish and spoilt rotten, when she doesn't get it her way, she pouts and screams around. She acts like a 12 year old more than a 21 year old. Her two female friends are not better, giving shitty relationship advice and behaving as stupidly as the female lead. And regarding the relationship, as soon as the doctor starts to date her, he gives up on his personality and does everything for her, even if she doesn't deserve it. The relationship is shallow and toxic. When the doctors has a serious work related problem and he wants to think quietly for himself, what does she do? She finds him, kiks him and screams at him. And she is even praised for it because she could solve his problems. Like in the beginning of the drama, when after some words from her, he overcomes his trauma. Absolutely, utterly ridiculous. When she is mad at him he does everything to get her back, although she has absolutely no reason to act this hurt and offended. This drama's portrayal of women and relationship is terrible and toxic. There is no growth and development of the characters (maybe the father, the only story arch I save together with some minor characters). I really don't understand it's huge success....ah no, yes I understand ....it's only because of Xiao Zhan and his fans, who only dream of such a relationship with him. Without this factor the drama would be one of the many shallow romcoms out there. And one of the worst I shall say, as there are some nicer ones.
I heard the female character in the novel was the total opposite of what we got. From what I have heard and read, we could have had a totally different, more realistic and pleasurable story. So I suppose we have to thank YangZi for this disgusting portrayal.
