Disappointment
Where to even begin... The plot was a mess, half of the characters were insufferable, and the relationship of the main couple was questionable at best from the very beginning. While they were cute maybe for the first episode or two it all got sour really fast. The series features multitude of non-consensual scenes, heaps of victim blaming, and imprisonment, which all gets swept under the rug and blamed on Lu Feng being bipolar, which is not only a poor representation of the disorder, but also excuses none of his behaviour.Had Lu Feng's mental illness been a topic of discussion earlier in the series, it could have been something to work with, but instead the reveal was left to the end of the second to last episode, by which time his character had been irreversibly ruined. The second couple was barely featured at all, and was seemingly only added in to compensate for the lack of consensual, happy relationship.

Has potential if there is going to be a second season...
I liked the premise, and the main couple was compelling, but unless there are plans for a second season I gotta admit this was disappointing. The second couple added nothing to the story, if anything it felt like they took screentime from what could have been spent to the main couple. The last episode felt very rushed, and new information that had no place being there unless there is going to be continuation for this series, was added last minute. Virtually nothing got resolved either. As a standalone I would not say this was a good series, but with so many lose ends I am very hopeful that the story will continue, and if that happens I will update my review and rating for this season.Was this review helpful to you?
