What not to do in a romantic relationship

The drama started out so strongly and then became disappointing. FL unexpectedly runs into her ex while on a trip to Africa. She is now a physician, who can keep her cool and treat a gunshot wound under pressure (thumbs up for a strong FL). We get flashbacks to her time in medical school when she has a hopeless, unrequited crush on him. You can’t help but wonder about their history. When they both return to China, the main storyline begins.

The cast is great - a mix of likable, mature characters. My major problem happens as the history of FL and ML is revealed and their current relationship continues to unfold. It is all about a FL who stalks, gives up career, etc for an uncaring and emotionally toxic ML. Then in the present, instead of truly moving on and starting a healthier relationship, she gets reentangled with the ML even though he doesn’t show much emotional growth. Girls, don’t behave like our FL please 😭

And don’t get me started on the unnecessary melodrama in the latter half… (starting with the kid’s bio mom showing up and progressing from there to unnecessary deaths and amnesia plot). This drama had so much promise. I wish they could have edited it to 24 episodes and added more character growth for our leads.
