Fluffy piece to make you feel good

A really fluffy drama, that shows the various forms of relationship that is in trend currently using multiple couples. The highlight of the drama is the acting done by all the leads, Wu Xuan Yi stole the show. Baby Zhang showcased a excellent side of a mature relationship, in a other totally fluffy drama that justifies the name. Music and cinematography was top.

Con: nothing new like absolutely nothing new, like the major serious plots are around children suffering from parents divorce and Hero choosing to go aboard.

But then again that's to expect form a fluffy drama.

Overall a drama to watch if just want something running to make you feel good.

A good one that could have been great

In short it is definitely a good to watch show. Binge watched in 2 days and no regrets.

The detailed review has SPOILERS

The Drama creators/runners tried to walk a line between a fluffy rom-com and slice of life to be a core subject, but some plot failures (like the FL PTSD twist towards the end) made it fall short of becoming a masterpiece in either of categories.

The attributes that carried the drama was the Acting and Story.

Acting
I have watch almost all of Wan Peng's dramas and she has done a awesome work again with what is available for FL character, but the person who stole the show was Evan Lin, he has really out done himself for his first drama to play such a complex role and that too to perfection is simply amazing. The core is the evolution of this arrogant, cold, immature person evolving into a mature, person who is willing to move forward with life accepting his complicated family, how other see him and of course chasing his love.

SFL and SML are just filler the entire screen belonged to the ML and FL. Li Jia Hao and Yu Kun Niu played their part.

Story is next best thing of the drama

Positives: Showcase of scenarios in somewhat real life style, while at same time trying come close to a Rom-com. There are no real villainous characters just some people who act out of their emotions and circumstances. But at the same time showing all the characters in Grey a good example is the ML when is say he did choose to cure is blindness in a early age because he wanted to take revenge on his father by making him feel guilty or FL sometime making temperamental actions.

Negatives: Majorly the dysfunctional Su family, first when parents abandon their blind son due to financial crisis, and mother dies by car crash/suicide when visiting her son on his birthday. The father takes him back when he make money but does not try to relate with hum and he then apparently marries three times, with his latest Wife being a friend/ of close age to ML, who showcase motherly love on the ML so much so that she forces her unwilling sister (also the ML friend) to take care of him. Yeah for such an unorthodox family they showcase to much familial values which moves away from the above mentioned real life scenario. Guys you cannot make such a stepmom look that good both in character and as person, I watched some of Zhao Xin character roles in other dramas, I have never remembered any but will remember this.

AND OFCOURSE THIS THE BIG ONE, The sudden death of the friend character Cheng Yin played by Mei Yi Chen, I was wondering why the character which was having some nice presence was not being built on and suddenly she was a PTSD induced hallucination for half of the series COME ON...not need especially since it was not closed properly, you could have kept it fluffy here...

Music is acceptable not a breakthrough score

Production is good

Camera and editing work should be appreciated specially scenes where the show the partially blind view of the ML.

ALL IN ALL still a good Drama to watch take away looking forward to more of Evan Lin's work in the future.

9/10 Signing off!
