- Read the novel it was based upon and was excited for the adaptation (Times Spent in Pretense)
- Slowly lost interest in the story over time
- Only kept watching for the side relationship with Yun Han and Miss Du, but ended up being disappointed with that as well (like I'm glad he's alive, but why didn't he tell her? Why did he just let her leave? Do we not get a final scene with them?)
- Final ending just didn't seem to fit with the rest of the story and felt very abrupt
