I could only tolerate FL for 13 episodes

I dropped after episode 13 because FL and her overly sensitive attitude was getting on my last nerve.

She began picking fights with ML starting in episode 10. Can’t you two just sit down and discuss business related issues like professional adults? I understand her being upset with his know-it-all attitude – I get it, it’s annoying - but her attitude was just as know-it-all, and she was not willing to compromise. If you want to act like this because he's your ex, then keep it in your free time, not during working hours. It was like she’s just looking for ways to take offensive when it comes to ML. Yep, I’m clearly on ML’s side because he has every right to feel insecure based on how she prioritizes everything over their relationship and how she broke it off with him in the past. Yeah, she was sort of forced to do that by evil boss lady, but still, it was brutal. And he forgives her too easily and instantly wants her back. I’m sorry - she's the one who should work to get him back, not the other way around.

She’s really a mass of conflicting behaviors. She takes care of him when he’s blind, but as soon as he can see again, she’s pushing him away, having cat fights with him in the office and suspecting him of sabotaging her exhibition. She’s the kind of woman that drive men crazy because they can’t figure out what the hell she wants – nothing seems to please her. He disagrees with her and she takes offense; he agrees with her and she takes offense. This is not how you do business, ok? Frankly, this is not spunky or gutsy behavior; this is immature, childish, unreasonable behavior. Episode 13, she has them stop the car in the middle of nowhere so she can get her suitcase and apparently stomp off in a huff. So childish. At this point, he’s supposedly the bad guy because he’s trying to ‘control her’ yet everyone has apparently forgotten how she broke up with him earlier. Why he wants this unreasonable, childish, short-tempered female back is beyond me. She’s only thinking of herself and disregarding what his shrink and Mingcheng has told her – he’s insecure because of how you’ve treated him in the past and you need to show him more warmth and affection and take your revenge later. Revenge? If anyone should be taking revenge, it’s ML! He’s the one that had his heart stomped on without any explanation. Even now, has she shown any REAL remorse? And she has the nerve to call ML childish! ML has control issues, yes, but they are exacerbated by her placing their relationship so far down on the priority ladder, and she's too selfish to realize that even when other people flat out tell her. The shrink asks her if she still likes him, and she says 'yes'. Well, sister, that's hard to believe right now. Go back to Europe and finish junior high school. Once you're an adult, give it another try with ML...if he's still available, which he probably will be because he's stupid enough to love you.

I'm so tired of immature C-drama FLs who become loud, nagging, control freak mothers. Immature, unreasonable, overly sensitive, easily offended, jumping to conclusions, my career/dreams come before our relationship behavior does not equal spunk, spirit, guts, strength of character, maturity, whatever, Screenwriter/Director, and the mature members of your audience know that. Why even bother with the romance genre if the career/dream is always going to trump the relationship?

I really had no interest in the other couples (I hardly ever do in C-dramas). I will say I liked Ning Fei as the mouthy devil better than the fragile, sensitive artist of Season 1.

I would have liked to keep watching, but I've run out of patience with FL and her attitude.
