they could have shorten this drama. cannot finish it
main points:dragged plot.
acting is okay,
nonsense long flashback of their lovestories.
no value added scenes.
"assumptions killed opportunities".
personal opinion:
i came to watch Arthur Chen.
i just dont like actress/ actor that only good/ shown in one side of angle (i feel sabrina angle only good on her dimple side (left) so most of her scene captured on this side. plenty of actress are like this. so not my cup of tea.
disclaimer: also im not an avid watcher, came to watch good scenes, nice to look at actors/actress, catching plots and usually i like it when conflicts started from episode 1 or existing.

beautiful ending
At first before completing the series i also have some complaints about it, mainly because the fl rejected the male lead a lot (i love feiyu so much, so i couldnt bear to see his character being sad). But after finished watching episode 28, i think both of them have some points and reasonable reasons to decide what they had to decide before, and in the current time, both of them finally admit their own mistakes, their regrets, and both of them are willing to change for the better.After completing the series, when i rewatch this drama again from the start, i value it more, the drama becomes more beautiful, more make sense, more wholesome. Because of the satisfying and beautiful ending, i appreciate this drama more when i rewatch it.
Thank yuuu my feiyu for making this lovely drama, i know this is your love project, so i value it a lot, and i really appreciate it. Loooveee yuuu 💜💜💜

Not as bad as what other say
the beginning of this drama is definitely better than the latter half, that is because its all the sweet moments of their relationship. Lets be real, life has its sweet moments and hard moments. Of course we all love the lovey dovey moments but despite the up moments , the downs in life really help to make it well rounded to show the reality of relationship.I felt that 28 was just enough episodes, any more and it would be even more draggy.
The male and female lead definitely had good chemistry!
If only they would talk about their problems to each other and not just use their own ways to make a their own decision about the relationship.

Even the 2nd and third lead actors got better storyline!
I don’t know what i did to tolerate and finish this series. For the love of arthur chen maybe? Love the lead actors’ chemistry when they’re not quarelling but it gets irritating when the episodes get boring because the writer made it her mission to drag their separation until the end. The other actors’ story got even better exposure than the two lead. It could have been better, in my opinion.And no, i will not be rewatching this in the forseeable future.

Trusfratedly clichéd
Eat Run Love eats your sanity, wanting you to runaway & never love. I wanted to pull my hair in frustration. The main leads are the worst characters written & direction was pretty meh too. Not convincing enough to make us believe perhaps.Terribly clichéd & trusfrating watch. Every other couple except main lead had better chemistry, character arcs & proposals.
Screenplay so bad that it should be studied. ChenFeiYu deserved better. I can't see or feel slightest of chemistry between leads. The FL tops my worst FL characters list ny beating FL of will in spring 🎉 so congrats for that.
I'm sure those who dropped it were never picking it up after seeing reviews. It's a shame that despite loving Arthur Chen, I don't like the drama as much as I wanted to.

All the Tropes and Cliches
I am utterly disappointed by this drama. I actually waited so long to be able to watch this with Arthur. It is not like I expected to see another Lighter and Princess, but it could have been better. At some point, I questioned why Arthur Chen accepted this role.It starts strongish, then writers start pushing all the c-drama tropes and cliches with misunderstandings, lies, and events. It seemed like such lazy writing. One or two cliches, I understand, but after a while it overstretched itself.
I love a green flag ML and a strong, decisive FL. I was super hopeful with them as well. They had good chemistry, yet lacked the intimacy.
The second couple's story took a ridiculous turn. I think they wanted to go for an interesting twist. At first, I was okay with it, but the inconsistencies with the situation annoyed me.
Overall, it was cutish and nice. I do not know why I am this disappointed either. I hope they do better storytelling in the future.

Rewatch value highest ever
As a fan of Chen Feiyu, I was initially drawn to this show purely because of his involvement, but I was pleasantly surprised to find that it far exceeded my expectations. From the very first episode, the series captivated me with its compelling storytelling, well-developed characters, and high production quality, quickly becoming one of my favorite viewing experiences. Having watched only halfway through the season, I’m already convinced that this will be my show of the year.One of the standout aspects of the series is its rewatchability, a rare quality that sets it apart from other shows I’ve seen. While waiting eagerly for new episodes to drop, I found myself revisiting earlier ones, and to my delight, each rewatch brought just as much joy as the first viewing. The layers of nuance in the writing, the emotional depth of the performances, and the intricate details in the production design make every episode rewarding to revisit. This is the first show where I’ve felt such consistent excitement and satisfaction when rewatching, a testament to its exceptional craftsmanship.
The show’s opening sequence is particularly noteworthy. Each episode begins with a beautifully performed theme song, a duet sung by the female lead (FL) and male lead (ML). This creative choice not only showcases the chemistry between the leads but also sets the perfect tone for the story. The melody is evocative, blending seamlessly with the show’s aesthetic and emotional undercurrents, drawing viewers into the narrative from the opening moments. It’s a small but impactful touch that enhances the overall viewing experience.
In terms of pacing, the show starts with a slightly accelerated tempo in the first episode, likely to hook the audience with an engaging introduction to the world and characters. However, after this initial burst of energy, the pacing settles into a more balanced rhythm, allowing for deeper character development and a gradual unfolding of the plot. This shift feels natural and well-executed, giving viewers time to connect with the story without feeling rushed or dragged. The slower moments are filled with meaningful interactions and subtle foreshadowing, rewarding attentive viewers with a richer understanding of the narrative.
Chen Feiyu’s performance is, as expected, a highlight of the series. His ability to bring depth and authenticity to his character is remarkable, and he shares excellent chemistry with the rest of the cast, particularly the female lead. The supporting characters are equally well-acted, with each adding unique dimensions to the story. The show’s visuals are stunning, with carefully designed sets, vibrant cinematography, and costumes that enhance the world-building. The writing strikes a perfect balance between emotional resonance, humor, and intrigue, keeping me invested in every twist and turn.
Even though I’m only halfway through the season, the show has already left a lasting impression. Its ability to blend heartfelt moments with an engaging plot, coupled with its rewatchable quality and strong performances, makes it a standout in its genre. I’m eagerly anticipating the remaining episodes and have no doubt that this series will continue to impress. For anyone looking for a show that combines stellar acting, a captivating story, and a mood-setting soundtrack, this is an absolute must-watch.

Flashbacks
I detest flashbacks. I particularly loathe a show that relies so heavily on digging into and regurgitating the past. Touch on the main points and get on with it. Do I really need to know who ate what at the cafeteria? Not enough time spent developing the present. I really wanted to like this, but watching is really painful.Was this review helpful to you?
Where is the chemistry :((
I am sorry. I can't , maybe I'm just tired with this trope or whatever but the chemistry didn't hit off. AND i think i'll go and rewatch lighter and princess insted of this to see Arthur as the ML, coz this one does not work. I honestly thought the FL would do better since I saw her in You are Desire but nah, nothing works out for me. -_-!!Was this review helpful to you?

Watch It For The Cast
I think the story in itself was beautiful enough except for the cliches. Arthur did a great job at portraying the various emotions. His eyes were enough to convey all that Gan Yang felt. The rest of the cast did well too with sizzling chemistry. Zhitong i think could've been acted in a better way. If every time she pushed Yang away, she had included micro expressions of dilemna, this would've been more relatable. Overall, she was a great character who just did not want to be dependent on anyone and her love for Gan Yang was evident for all those times she was ready to throw it all away for him even towards the end. She was admirable enough. Gan Yang too acted as most boyfriends do even in real life when they think they cannot give their gfs what they deserve as most males have provider mindset. But he did his best to win her back towards the end. Overall the other couples were brilliant in their own ways.I just wish FL's reasons to push the ML away were shown in earlier episodes
Overall i love this drama for showing a different side of Arthur, different from Li Xun.

Eu gostei muito!
Resolvi fazer escrever essa resenha pois só vi pessoas falando mal! Eu gostei! Adoro romance e achei esse melhor que muitos cdramas que vi. Não fiquei nenhum pouco cansada vendo esse drama. A história fluiu bem. Eu recomendo pra que gosta de romance! Não concordo com as pessoas que dizem ser errolação. Acho que a FL tinha muito medo por tudo que ela passou e o desenvolvimento foi bom! No final, compreende-se o porque ela foi tão dura com o ML. Poderia ter mais cenas felizes, mas eu assisti com vontade! Não sejam influenciados pelas criticas negativas!Was this review helpful to you?
