The plot seemed interesting, and it had a lot of potential. But due to the shortness and weird cuts between the scenes, it ended up being messy and hard to follow. There were some flashbacks and then jumps back to the present, but it was very hard to distinguish when one ended and the other started.

There were also quite a few plot holes. Some that weren’t given enough background information and some that never got a proper conclusion. One such plot hole is also Shao Jie, who Wu Zheng is apparently getting closer with. I am not sure if this happened before the series, but we get to see very little of her, so it’s really hard to say anything about the two.

Wu Zheng & Yu Shi: I have so many issues with the two of them! A lot of their intimate moments felt very forced and non-con. The thing is, Yu Shi looked extremely uncomfortable most of the time, like he doesn’t really want to be intimate. And Wu Zheng kept pressing on, was very pushy on the topic. Which I disliked. And then there is also the fact that Yu Shi suffers from a dissociative disorder which in turn makes one of his personalities have the mind of a five-year-old child… that made those “intimate” scenes so much worse in my eyes.

They tried to address some serious things, but I don’t think they managed to do so with any of them. From trauma, to exploring one’s sexuality, it was all just so glossed over. It wasn’t really given proper depth.

However, I think the actor who played Yu Shi did an amazing job switching between the personalities. The glasses did help in distinguishing between the two, but it was also in the mannerism, the way he talked… it really showed.

We also got a second couple… who I don’t really know much about. I guess they have a past. And that’s pretty much all we get to know. Which again adds to the choppiness and unexplained plot holes.
