This Drama started well and held up well until around episode 26/32. Wu Qian's FL was genuinely independent and self-assured, and the character grew and matured well. Tha'ts why I stuck it out and ended up still giving it 7/10 when I came VERY close to dropping it.

The reason I nearly dropped it was not the ridiculously OTT flag-waving propaganda about Beidou. I'm used to zoning out and FFing through that kind of bakvass - did through beoth times I watched Go Go Squid. Nope, it was the controlling and childish ML, and the way the final few episodes hammered home the message that in the end, ONLY a man can save things and EVERY woman MUST have a man to fix things for her.

The ML says at one point "the most important thing in a long-distance relationship is trust. Let's not ever keep secrets" and then repeatedly tells the FL NOTHING about stuff going on his life, like when he loses someone dear to him or nearly gets seriously injured and yet AFTER that he's thumping his fist on a door demanding to know why she didn't tell him the company she's running is in trouble. VERY disappointing after a promising start. To eventually have the final 3 paint him as the saviour of both the FL and her company was ghastly
