IMO, u could only enjoy this if u r a big fan of Shawn Dou or Li Qin, otherwise I’m sure u wouldn’t last till the end... the plot is just crazy, what an emotional rollercoaster!

What interested me at first:
- I like Shawn Dou, so I watched lots of his dramas, he always delivers in his acting, including in this no matter how rude n annoying his character is... he looks good n manly in almost everything, n that cute smile helped getting thru this mess... Li Qin is ok too... Leon Zhang had a presence, so eventhough he actually only played in the 1st 6eps, he was one of the factors that this drama was interesting at first...

- The chems between FL&ML is good... FL also had good chems with SML, so it was a lil bit of dilemma for me, but since he isn’t the ML anyway, i knew he wouldn’t last...

- Plotwise was enjoyable till halfway...

- How cute ML in the last few eps when he wanted to win FL back... i wish they had stayed on this path longer instead of the heavy business plot with the usual angsty misunderstandings...

What made me lost interest:
- Plotwise after ML was suddenly framed n sent to prison... he became such an annoying character, esp to FL... even after he was out of prison (honestly i’m not even sure how long he stayed there, this part I skipped a lot!)... anyway when he was out, he became an ass, even after everything she’s done for him&his dad...

- The push n pull between the leads was just an emotional rollercoaster after that halfway point... it’s like FL has a tendency towards emotional torture... like when he is at the bottom, she is there for him, taking care of his dad n stays with him no matter how harsh he acts towards her... but when he is finally better, being his oldself n nice to her, suddenly she has insecurity n thinks that they r from different worlds, so she avoids him... like what? why has she stayed then? only for the torture? They r adults n smart people, but somehow they don’t get the concept of communication... ??‍♀️

- The heavy business plot... there was almost no screentime together between the leads, again after that midway till almost the end... somehow to takeover the company, ML has to disappear n leave FL without explanation... why? Just tell her something... the miscommunication part is just so unnecessary, the typical “I want to protect u so i have to stay away from u“, but actually hurting her all the way... n this plot lasted more than 5eps near the end... n yes, they got back together only in the last eps, last scene to be exact! I hate when that happens... their friends got the happy ending (even the evil one), including the double wedding... while their ending is just a promise of staying together 4ever, a hug & a kiss in the beach... usually that’s enough, it’s just after all the tortures, it feels like they deserve a bit more than that... n IMO we as watchers deserve it too after that trainwreck!

- The side characters got too much screentime... like FL’s BFF & her BF, the ML’s assistant story, IMO their story isn’t that interesting... also the evil guy got too much screentime, n somehow after everything he’s done he kinda redeemed himself without punishment? n there r many unimportant characters in the mix, mostly for the business plot, so yeah, i don’t know most of them thx to my FFWD button... ?

Anyway, like I said before, only watch if u like one of the leads like a lot, or big chance u’d drop this fast... for me I stayed for Shawn Dou, n even then i skipped like a lot! Esp the prison part n the heavy business plot... so yeah, first halfway was really enjoyable, then it took a deep dive into a chaotic mess, almost like a point of no return... at least it’s a happy ending with a few cute moments towards the end, so there’s that...
