Not as bad as some but definitely not as good as some...

So I am pretty much on the fence with this drama and wasn't planning on writing a review but noticing the polarising ratings here on MDL I decided to give my two cents.

For those wondering whether to watch this drama, go ahead. It isn't that bad but do keep in my mind its very cliche and full of tropes that prevail in C-Dramaland.

Story:
Cliche beginning and middle. Meandered quite a bit towards the end and I pretty much fast forwarded the last few episodes but it's palatable.

Acting:
Considering the average storyline one cannot really expect oscar-worthy performances so I shall rate their acting as passable.

The male lead in typical C-Drama fashion is a stoic and genius fellow who turns overbearing (almost stalker-ish) when he falls in love with our FL who in turn is foolish, not so serious about her studies and some might also call her unprofessional.
I found the ML to be cute in the beginning as he falls for our ML (JL is really cute) but his character takes a nose dive into being overbearing. ---- Considering I have watched 'Hello Mr.Gu', our ML comes across as a saint here compared to Mr.Gu (but that's like comparing bad to worse and saying bad is good).

I like ZYT, she is beautiful and she is beautiful in this drama as well. Her acting is mediocre but her character is mediocre so I am not sure what I am rating here. ;)

Side characters did not get on my nerves so overall I am am happy with the acting.

Overall:
Having read my review till here you can probably get the picture.

I watched this show with my eyes open, expecting very less and assuming I'm going to be mildly annoyed with the tropes that would be present in this drama. A typical average Chinese rom-com. And it delivered exactly what I was expecting. So I am satisfied with my choice.

As long as you don't expect too much I think this is okay for a one time watch & some fast forwards. (which anyway is my normal speed for watching C-drama these days! )

p.s: Watch eps 1-20 FFW and skipped rest till 24.
