CUTE main couple, but second leads are PAINFUL to watch!

As many people recommended, in the comments/reviews, skip the scenes without the leads! I regret not doing this sooner and waited until the last 5 episodes before I began skipping scenes, maybe if you are new to watching (Asian) dramas you can watch the scenes of "villainous" characters, but don't waste your time.

Janice Wu and Edward Zhang are both great actresses/actors and the age gap was not very visible so it made their relationship easier to watch. They were cute and did well in their parts.

Cass Gai and Victor Wang portrayed the antagonists in the main leads' relationship/social life. While Wang's character grew at the end Gai's did not. Throughout most of the drama, they made me want to smack them though and scream at them to wake the heck up. On the bright side, the relationship between the sisters (played by Wu and Gai) was decent and Fei Er's toxic-ness is not too unique or crazy. I was scared that it was going to be similar to the relationship between the two female leads in Another Me (which I dropped cus Chen Du Ling's character is [redacted] [redacted] [redacted]), thankfully Gai's character was not all too bad and still treated Xiao Ting decently, especially when they are not in public, however, still skip her scenes unless you want to be angry.

The ending could have been extended, some side characters were just forgotten without hinting at what their life would be like and could have made the scenes with the main lead a bit longer.
