Personally the actors' performances are one of the strong points of this drama. If you didn't find the talk show funny enough, don't let that affect you. There are few scenes and a censorship problem common in other chinese dramas. The characters may initially seem immature, but there is a positive development; often GuYi is described as a little sun, funny and a bit clumsy, bu this is just a partial point of view, as Liang Daiwen is not just his illness. His painful childhood is a ghost that has influenced him a lot and alexithymia is his defense against suffering and abandonment. Linyi's acting is much more engaging in this part.

But this time, Shen Yue crying scene surprised me the most. "There may be only one tear, there may be tears in the eyes, or tears may flow down the face.."
Her performance of crying scenes was particularly good, enough to make others empathize. Theirs is not just a love story, but a story of personal growth.

Because she has no duty to take care of him, no one should feel this burden just because she is in love and this is a stereotype that affects women especially. One of the strengths of this drama is also showing the difficulty of being close to people with emotional problems. Gu Yi is not the classic little sun, she certainly has flaws, she is often too irrational and is a love brain. Often she thinks that her love is enough, but constantly punished and rejected for this reason (in a funny way almost always). But a rejection is always a rejection and causes scars. But she is not his psychiatrist, she just wants to love and be loved. This drama has many perspectives, we know Liang Daiwen better, we see his nightmares and meetings with Doctor Shen, Gu Yi instead does not. Her attempts to help him may seem clumsy, but they still have positive effects on him, for him she is a continuous electric shock (I love the detail of the pain in his arm and the heartbeat). But do we really want to see the usual patient heroine who takes care of her man? Stories do not necessarily have to show perfect and courageous characters, even Daiwen's jealousy and possessiveness arent praiseworthy. The dialogue between Gu Yi and little L. Daiwen when she is drunk shows how instead there is a growth of her character and she is not so selfish. She wants Liang Daiwen to stop punishing himself, he should face his emotions and not repress them. I have also noticed her growth with work. Here too she thinks that words and hard work can be enough to get promoted, but the reality is more complicated. Jacqueline is a bitch but she teaches her a hard lesson, and she realizes she was wrong. Same with the 2 male lead.
