Romance in reality

Am sure, this is not everyone's cup of tea. This is basically one of those dramas in real form.

Yes, I got hooked because of the good story plot of this drama. It showned how romance in reality is. It is not your typical damsel in distress, overbearing CEO that will save the FL using money and power and yes, not really the lived happily ever after ending.

For the good points, all the casts really pulled off their role. Specially, the FL, Tian Xi Wei. I usually see her playing cutesie roles in Xian xia and historical dramas. It's good to see a different side of her playing a bit mature role. Her heart breaking parts really lead me to be teary eyed. For the 3 ML's whom I should say should have been tagged only as support roles as all of them are antagonists so to speak. For Qu Yi Peng, his character seem really hateable, but, in reality, yes, there are men out there who really is just like him. Just to get out of poverty, would find his way up in whatever methods he would use may it be risking love. For, Zhou Bin, Oh yes, a lot of men like him is totally out there. To be specific, married men. Once gaining money and power, cheating should also be in his system. Not generalizing, but, it's a fact that there are also lots of married men just like him in reality. And lastly, Gao Peng, I really feel sad for his character. I was really hoping the writer would give him a charcter development, but sadly, it turned to the opposite direction. I really felt his sincerity for Nan Nan in the beginning. He may not be the expressive guy we wanted him to be but he tried his best in the beginning and I believe his loyalty for Nan Nan was there. Sadly, money and power ate him and made him the most hated guy you'd ever want. I was hoping for him to remain loyal for Nan Nan inspite the obstacles their relationship have to go through. Hoping, he would realize that Nan Nan is absolutely the rightful and only woman for him since Nan Nan is always there in his lowest moments. Am definitely disappointed that the writer ruined his character. I would have given this a higher rating if they actually ended up together.

Anyways, for Han Su, Yu Tong always play this kind of roles. The smart, workaholic girl who always doesn't have time for romance and work is always her top priority. Not a fan of her role, but she became the bestie of all I should say. She was always there to listen to each of the characters in this drama....literally.

For Han Han, yes, another hopeless romantic who whose willing to risk everything for love. She may have weak points but gained being strong towards the end. Her role truly depicts lots of women in reality. A victim yet tagged as home wrecker. I guess, the main moral lesson in her story, doing background check before fully commiting to someone is a must. Specially, when you think your prospect have signs of being a married guy.

For the other guys involved such as Wang Zi Lu, I honestly don't like his character. He is straightforward as Nan Nan in which for me is not a good match. They're too the same. In a relationship, it is important to have balance IN BETWEEN the couple's personalities to have a harmonious relationship. If both have the same personalites, no one would lower his/her flag that will just result to separation. And for Luo Ma, his character just seem a filler for Su Su. Yet, his character is what Su Su needs. Someone who will find all his ways to get her heart.

After completing the drama, honestly, it didn't felt good. I still feel Nan Nan could've ended up with a better guy, it really could've been Gao Peng, since they had a strong foundation of friendship even after the breakup, they realized how they matured together. Or, the new neighbor could've been a good prospect. I really don't find WZL a good match for her.

As for the friendship of the 3 girls. It does feel awkward to be friends with the person who technically snatched your ex bf. I know Han Su is too mature to accept that and Nan nan can easily let go of everything as Gao Peng said. I'm just not a fan of that kind of friendship. Overall, it's 7.5 for me.
