This drama had the potential to be a 10/10 but it was just WAY too repetitive and tiring, not just for Weiwei, but for the viewers as well... The whole storyline revolves around Weiwei and Kehuan trying to convince themselves that their respective SO aren't the ones for them in every single episode after episode what... 5? The chemistry and romance were there, but there wasn't enough substance to make the story any more interesting than that. It was a good watch, but definitely not one where I would want to put myself into watching again.

Both Ziyuan and Haoyi were both portrayed so negatively for caring about their SO that I started to feel bad for them. They were very clingy and that's basically the plot, them both begging to get back with MCs and promising to change for them over and over again. They suddenly flipped 180 degrees into manipulative and controlling people, but are they to blame? It almost felt like the screenwriter was trying to say Ziyuan and Haoyi deserved to get cheated on because they cared TOO much about MCs.

The acting and casting were really well. Especially Puff and Jasper, they portrayed their characters really well and had strong chemistry. I also really enjoyed Kefei's stress relief character, which actually helped make the drama bearable till the end.

With that being said, this is still a good watch if you are looking for a mature romantic drama or if you really like Jasper or Puff. The music was also really good and fit well with the storyline. I think the drama would've done a lot better being a movie plot or a web drama or even removing some of that repetitiveness to make up for the lack of closure at the end, but it is what it is. It's unconventional, not your typical lovey-dovey love story but revolves around realistic problems that couples face in real life.
