Better than I expected especially after reading all the bad reviews and comments.
I dropped this drama after 1 episode because of all the bad reviews and comments I read on MDL and YouTube, and the fact that I thought Aaron was the ML but wasn't. But then I immediately picked it up again and actually enjoyed the drama knowing the ending. I LOVED the fact that Calvin was the ML. I did not like Ah Yi and even hated him sometimes, but Da Ye was so LOVEABLE and perfect.
A lot of the bad reviews and comments for this drama are about how Xia Feng keeps going back and forth between the two guys, as if she's indecisive about who to be with, but it really wasn't like that. If anything, Ah Yi was the most indecisive character in this drama, which is why he was the SL. Xiao Feng liked Da Ye from the very beginning and spends SEVERAL episodes pursuing him, until he rejects her in the nicest way possible because he simply didn't understand romantic relationships and how to love someone in that way. I feel like Xiao Feng only starts to go out with Ah Yi only because he liked her, and she liked the idea of liking someone who reciprocated her feelings. She later grew to genuinely like him. But, Ah Yi only pursued Xiao Feng because she reminded him of his first love, which was unrequited. This is why I loved that Aaron was the second lead, Ah Yi didn't put Xiao Feng first over his unrequited love, and when he did, it was too late. When Da Ye first rejected Xiao Feng, it wasn't because he didn't like her, in fact I'm certain he had romantic feelings for her but just didn't know it. It was because he didn't want to lead her on in any way, the way Ah Yi did.
There were a LOT of things I didn't like about the FL as well as Reen Yu's acting. Her acting was WAY over the top, reminded me of the FL from Skip Beat!, but in this drama it felt really out of place considering the fact that all the other charecters were more down to earth with less exaggerated acting. It could partly be blamed on the Reen Yu's script, but I also think it was her acting in general. I loved Calvin and Aaron's acting. Despite Calvin's character being somewhat of a bubble head, unlike Reen Yu's character, who too was a bubble head, Da Ye didn't seem as stupid and unrealistic as Xiao Feng was. Xiao Feng seemed like a character that walked right out of an anime, like the FL from Skip Beat!.
Da Ye was a character that could do no wrong and I love that he broke the fourth wall multiple times.
Xiao Feng did start to get annoying towards the end of the drama, especially in the last few episodes, at this point I started skipping through the drama. Ah Yi wasn't that great either but Da Ye started to get a lot of character development in the sense that his character started to show a more serious side. Sometimes he'd go from a carefree and bubble headed person to a dead serious and sometimes out right mean person. But this didn't really go anywhere and wasn't really developed into. The ending was definitely rushed. Unnecessary rushed considering how slow the last few episodes were.
