A synopsis that mentions a diagnosis of incurable illness makes you think it can be an emotional, heavy drama. This is not that. It approaches ALS in a, I would say, more superficial way, by showing light symptoms and addressing what lies ahead, but again in a «scratch the surface» kind of way.

I must also say I found it kind of strange to use ALS as the illness in this story. I don’t have deep knowledge about it, but I do know statistically it is most common amongst men, and from adult age (40+?). Therefore, to have a young woman AND a kid with the diagnosis just seems a bit unrealistic for me, although it might not be completely unheard of.

Besides this, the story contains some familiar tropes: Contract relationship, a love triangle kind of situation, a jealous, entitled and scheming ex, supporting characters’ developing love stories, old stories needing unsolving…

The acting was OK; but not much more. I thought the main couple lacked some convincing chemistry, although FL was quite cute. I kind of liked supporting role Zhan Zi Lin (by Huang Qian Shuo) better than ML.
