r/NICEGUYS

Fucking Kido Gao's acting was insane. He went from guy on r/niceguys to an actual nice guy so many times. I could never tell whose side he was on. THE ANXIETY when he had the documents for Lin Tai Mo. I loved his character in "The King's Avatar" and always wanted to watch more of his work. When I saw him appear in this show, I got super excited, although I didn't love his character (as a person) much. I guess you could call him... a SIMP.

Leo Luo grew on me like a leech. I actually fell in love with Yuan Shuai because, honest to god, he's just so lovable. And he looks so fucking hot in those suits. I know a lot of people didn't find him attractive (cdrama subreddit), but I thought he was a snack and a half.

This is only not a 9.5 because of Xu Li. Holy hell, the second-hand embarrassment was strong. The secondary couple scenes physically hurt me to watch through.

Bai Lu was perfect for this role. I watched "Lucky's First Love" after "Love Is Sweet", and it looked really clear to me that her playing a mature and elegant character definitely fit her more. I didn't like her character in LFL. I think she nailed this one.

I think the leads had good chemistry. And I say this knowing that I can never tell if leads have chemistry or not, as I always seem to be in the minority. I always think these people have chemistry, only to have the majority of people shit on me. Take this with a grain of salt.

The music jams. "The Things I Do For Love" is so chill. "Miracle" is so sweet and peaceful. "Sometimes" sounds sad, but you sway with it, and it worked so well with their confession in the snow scene. Let's just say... the music JAMS.

Although there's a breakup—I hate those—I didn't totally rip the show in half because of it. Dude totally could've told her his plan but...
