Year:  2025

Country: Chinese

Genre: contemporary

Episodes:  8/26

Plot:

It tells a story of two couples, one born in the 80s and one born in the 2000s. 

Comments:

• So it's shot nicely.
• But I can't get into it. 
• I like parallel love stories, and each timeline has its own color/ style. But it doesn't feel cohesive as one drama. The first couple feels like I'm watching a stage play, while the second couple feels like watching a regular, well-shot contemporary drama.
• I also think something is off, either in the dialogue, or how the two leads are spoken, or in the filter they decided to use.

• I was so looking forward to this one, to be left disappointed. 
• The CG is not that bad, compared to A Moment but Forever, but it's not seamless either.
• The makeup, some close-ups were bad.
• The lead actress was giving nothing in the first episode... I swear to god, and smiled a little in the next, and gave nothing again. 
• The action was better than the first installment of the series.
• I hope the third and last one will be at least decent.

Comments:

• The acting was crazy in the drama.
• Unless you like weird dramas that dives into relationships that are so weird, this drama is for you
• But I am still on the fence about the drama, I enjoyed it and I felt like it had really good strong points, but it kind of felt empty, first the world building was not deep enough, the side characters needed to be used more....

Comments:

• I enjoyed this one
• You think that there is nothing special or you might think its pretty boring, but it sucks you in.
