A buffet of emotions

This is not your typical romcom story. It has substance and it tackles a lot of different aspects of young adult life. The good, the bad, and the in between.

It dealt with modern relationships. The working life of a typical adult where there are competitions and disappointments. The trauma from the past that affects the current you. Losing a family and navigating through life and loss. The friendships made. And again the importance of support system from a lover and friends.

I’ve seen a lot of people hating it because it’s not “fun” unlike the other romcom stories, but to me this is fun, it is great. The actors are great. The cinematography is great. The OST is great. What more can you ask for? (Anyway, I’d just like to say that the comedian Gu Yi has the humor based on their culture so not all people may like it)

Not gonna lie, if this made it to Netflix for sure this will be a big hit because people like a young adult like me would love to see someone like Gu Yi who is brave to love and who face her life positively amidst challenges. And there’s also Liang Daiwen who is strong enough to face life through his mental illness and his willingness to improve for himself and Gu Yi.

I really wish for this to be put on a wider streaming platform so a lot of people will be able to see this. It’s a pity because it deserves more praise.

One last thing, some people find it not good that this took 34 episodes. But I think this is enough to fully convey the story. There is the beginning to introduce the atmosphere and the plot. The middle where it has those problems arising between them. The redemption arc. The family arc. The final arc where they fully accepted themselves. I think people should give this more credit. They didn’t half assed the story where they just suddenly lived happily ever after.

Well this has been long. All in all, I love it. It’s a mixed of romance, fun, and reality. I’ll watch it again - definitely. :)
