Don't have high expectations
This drama is definitely a good time pass, but honestly, I don’t think it’s something worth investing yourself too deeply in.
The story felt very average to me. There were moments where I expected to feel more emotionally connected to the characters or the situation, but it never really got there. I didn’t find many genuinely heartfelt scenes, and even the redemption arc, which could have been one of the strongest parts of the story, felt quite underwhelming.
As for the FL, I know she is a good actress, but her acting felt strangely inconsistent in this drama. There were scenes where she was really good and completely believable, but then in other scenes her expressions and emotions felt disconnected from what was happening. It made it difficult for me to stay emotionally invested in her character.
Xu Kai was enjoyable to watch, as always, but even he couldn’t completely make up for the weaknesses in the writing.
Overall, I’d say SOTB is something you can watch when you want an easy drama to pass the time, but I wouldn’t go into it expecting a story with great emotional depth, memorable romance, or a particularly satisfying redemption arc. It’s watchable, but for me, it’s definitely not one I’ll be thinking about after it ends.
