This drama will play with your feelings

At first, I thought the plot of this drama was interesting so I decided to watch it. There was a lot of cute scenes that made me go awww, but for the most part of the drama, it was just me getting mad over the characters.

Shen Yi lied. Sui An covered up for Shen Yi which caused them to make more lies. Shen Yi can be a bit manipulative sometimes, but it's very, very subtle that some people might think he's just being sweet. I also had a lot of doubts about Shen Yi's feelings for Meng Hui so that was very frustrating. Xu Xing Yao is so fricking annoying, I just wanted to smack her face throughout the entire drama. Xiao Ba's presence is so unnecessary and annoying. Some factors of the story also irked me a bit; sometimes when Meng Hui changes into a different person, I just couldn't wait for her to go back to normal.

I said that this drama will play with your feelings because it did with mine. It made me want to ship them together, but it also made me want them to just break up. A lot of times I felt like the situation was unfair for Meng Hui. I got mad a lot of times. Some parts I wanted to cry (but I didn't). Some parts made me feel giddy. Some parts gave me trust issues. You would root for Shen Yi, but then he does something dumb and you'd want to punch his face with a chair. However, one thing that I liked about Shen Yi is that he was very patient with Meng Hui's disorder no matter how tiring it must have been to cooperate with her. I really had the most issue with the characters because a lot of their actions didn't match the way I wanted them to handle things. But I guess if the characters did what's right all the time, the drama would have been too perfect, too unrealistic and less relatable for the viewers. I think the drama was able to grasp the complexity and flaws of individuals and relationships.

I liked the supporting characters the most; Wei Lei, Ah Tao, and Xiao Mei. The side couple is something you can look forward to. Their parents and co-workers are very supportive too, so I appreciate them as they added a light element to the story. Shen Yi and Sui An's friendship is also cute. The OSTs are great and that's one thing I love about it!
