It is supposed to be cute but has a wrong message
The show starts off OK. A girl running away from an unwanted wedding is in disguise and meets a pop star idol. Even though she is not "pretty" he eventually falls for her.
Sounds like a cute story. The leads are OK, a little on the silly side and the typical silly misunderstandings, but there are some really not so healthy things in this show. In the end the pop star idol would rather his girlfriend continue to be ugly because he is jealous of the attention she gets when she is pretty. I mean so basically she cannot be herself, what is that even saying. Plus I actually think the :ugly" version of the character is better than the "pretty" version. Second there is a back story of how the ML killed a friend in a car accident, yes it was an accident but he was recklessly driving fast and she told him to slow down. I mean he should be in jail or something, Then there is the toxic mean girl. Really a stereotype, until she becomes suicidal and forces the ML to get engaged with her. He agrees cause she tried to kill herself twice because of him liking someone else. I mean sure let's encourage that behavior instead of getting her psychiatric help. She doesn't really seem to learn or change and she has a friend that encouraged her to practically kill herself in order to get the ML. Then there is the ex-fiancee of the FL and his toxic personality.
I mean there were so many questionable story lines. If I was young girl or had a your female in my house and I would never let them watch something with such bad role models.
There was some good things I did like. The ML leads's best friend Gu Nanxi is adorable, I would have picked him over the ML. The second couple is also a plus. Lin Yiyang has the most character growth, and is the only person that seemed to grow up. He starts as a bully reacting to the death of the friend and girl he liked that the ML killed. He is rightly angry at the ML and blames him. He eventually realizes that his actions are hurting others especially the FL lead's friend Zhang Fangfang. While she is a bit timid it is understandable as she is a poor scholarship student that feels inferior to all of the rich snobs. Those two together help each other grow and become better versions of themselves. they had a far more mature and healthy relationship than the main couple.
Also what kind of college was it that they attended? I mean did they learn anything besides how to play dodgeball.
I mean it was a light weight show and not to be taken serious, but they could have put some effort into the story and making more than 3 people likable.
