Just some spicy Deng Kai wearing an extremely skimpy plot.
Hay there, sexy.I know what you're thinking. You're thinking "Damn I can't believe Deng Kai hasn't been cast yet as an ML in a major production, he's so stupid-hot and so charismatic, I feel like an addict, ever since POJ happened I just can't get enough of him."
Well as far as somebody with some SENSE picking him up to lead an A-list show, I can't help you with that. We are fresh out of A-List productions because Arthur Chen ate them all.
But as for the part about not being able to get enough of him.... that I can help you with. Some tiny-ass production team off in the corner of c-dramaland said "50 bazillion people are screaming for Deng Kai right now and yknow what. We hear you. Now, we're too broke to give you the A-list gold you're after. But in the meantime... how about just watching him make out a lot?"
And we like "YASS that will do for now."
Producer says "Well we aint got much. We got some CEO clothes, a decent stylist, and a couplea leather couches. We can maybe scrape enough cash together to rent a boat for a few scenes, idk."
And we like "Green light this bad boy."
And producer is like (scratches head) "Uhhhh.... well we're kind of short on script."
We say, "Don't worry about it, just write whatever you can muster up."
So they gave us this. The story is... I kind of want to say 'inventive'? But I also kind of want to say 'bad'. It's inventive and bad. But it does give us what we crave... Deng Kai in a hot situation looking hot and makin out and stuff. It's not as spicy as I like em. But honestly, the production and script are so SO cheap, that if it were any spicier it'd come off as just way way too gratuitous. It's "satisfying". We are watching Deng Kai learning to perfect the art of onscreen kissing. Someday he'll be in something TRULY hot, like SOKP or WDBTD, and all that kissing practice will pay off. He does honestly keep getting better and better.
As far as the acting.... I'm sorry but it's just asking way too much for actors to return master performances on sets like these with scripts like these. Deng Kai is doing sort of a "you get what you pay for" performance, i'd give it a B grade. Zhang Chu Han the FL expertly matches his tone, and this is actually the very first time I've LIKED her in something. She appears to have dropped the baby-girl act as she matures as an actress, and she's so much better off for it. Now she reminds me of Valerie Bertinelli, and it's cute and she's much easier to watch.
All in all, I would not really recc this to anyone except Deng Kai fans, and I would DEF recc this to them. I enjoyed it despite the jankety script, but would I rewatch it? No.
Actual drama = 5
Deng Kai makin out a bunch = 10
Averaged score = 7.5

A sort of guilty pleasure watch
I will keep this review quite brief.First of all the plot, like what is this? XD It feels like something a younger person would write and publish on wattpad. Some of the things that happen is very questionable and if it was real life, I would suggest that the female lead run in the opposite direction. Now if you enjoy absurd plots with questionable romance you might enjoy this to a degree. Given that there are so few episodes, it's like watching a movie and then its over.
Acting wise, well no awards will be given that's for sure. But Deng Kai and Zhang Chuhan does a good enough job in their characters that it feels like they fit with this very absurd plot.
Will I rewatch this at some point? No, both leads have better dramas that are more worth your time.
