I hope it gets better, it didn't

I was enjoying the storyline, right into they made Tong a mumbling, mindless lady. She is supposed to be a genius, so why did the writers do that to her. When Han told them that she was his gf, she should of stated no I'm not. For some reason Chinese Writers/Producers love to make the leading young ladies mumbling, tell me what to do, I can't stand up to a man women. Why? They always make the men strong, demanding of females, Do what I say, pouting and arrogant. Why? How about making a storyline where both the Male and Female are positive role models. Just because the female isn't weak minded and a codependent person doesn't mean they can't fall in love. It's getting really old always having a so called arrogant, don't care about any one else, demeans women towards the end leading men. They always says sorry, lady forgives them and the get together. I agree with Lan's mother, he is too old for her. Tong is portrayed as a stalking. mindless, naïve, submissive person. I will bet if Han told her to get down and bark like a dog, she would gladly.

Ep11 was really powerful. You can tell they use to be very good friends. Something happened which pulled them apart. It's a shame, that happened. Han is a bore. He acts inappropriate towards Tong with impunity. I am trying to like him, but as of now it isn't happening. I am glad that I am knowing more what happened in his past which makes him act this way. Han has a personality of a rock.

I have to ask: Is it a custom in China where the man pats the female on the head like a pet? I know where I am from, there would be a fight, if a man did that to a female.

There are some really good laughs in this. Just like I said; you can tell the pouting Han is beginning to change (so predictable). It is a complicated story land and if you don't watch it closely you will miss it. The storyline drags in part, too many flash backs. I am 14 episodes in and I still don't like him. Isn't Tong supposed to be a Brainiac? Tong totally disregarded what her mother told her. Lan promised her mother not to have contact Tong. How many times did he break that with no consequences?

I am going to keep watching to see where it is going to go. I like the supporting cast, great chemistry. There was no chemistry between tong and Lan. The only person talking common sense was Tong's mother. The father was an enabler. No father would want Lan for a son-in-law. Tong turned out to be a submissive stalker. She knew nothing about love, but she loves a guy approximately 10 years her senior. What, Lan couldn't find a woman around his age? In the end I disliked both of main characters.

How in the world can someone give this series a 10!?

This series is 20 episodes too long. This was a waste of 3 days of my time. I will not watch this a second time.
