Usual cute high school drama with angst and gap

Enjoyed the high-school drama for a while, but it grew tedious. The three main actors (FL=Xia AnSheng, ML=Mo ZiChen, 2ML=Yan Mu) did a good job with their roles. The other characters did their part without any surprises.

Multiple threads woven together in a bit of a weird way. Awkward family relationship, childhood frenemies, bullying, deathly fear of something. And it didn't quite work. You could kind of tolerate it for a bit, but then nothing gets explained to anyone, so misunderstandings abound. Broadly, nobody tells each other anything, so it's frustrating.

The thing that really shot this down and put it in waste-of-time category was the transition from high school to post-university. Five years have passed. Several couples are now married. But ML hasn't grown up *AT ALL*. He's still the dumb-childish-frat-boy-annoying-brat that he was in high school. It's the normal depiction of the non-genious highschool boy in Chinese dramas (i.e. can't be more than 12 years old), but usually they grow up and become adults during the 5-year gap. But in this case, he's still 12 years old. If I were the FL I would dump him in a heart-beat, asking myself why oh why could I have ever liked this dude?? Meanwhile 2ML hasn't grown up either... he knows better than to keep chasing her, but he doesn't even change his tactics slightly.

I needed something to fill the gap. This didn't even fill that need.
