"I think you might have overlooked one crucial element: the PTSD both main characters are struggling with. Their behaviors aren't just 'character flaws' but are deeply rooted in past trauma. For someone like Bei, that 'slippery' or 'bland' demeanor is actually a defense mechanism. He’s been hurt so much that he’s forgotten how to be vulnerable or straightforward. If we don't look at it through the lens of psychological trauma, we miss the entire depth of their struggle."
"In the original source, Xiaobei is far from the fragile character we saw in the drama. He carries deep scars, but he possesses true strength. He is a 'Green Flag Alpha' who remains rational and steadfast despite his trauma. Unlike the series, where he felt emotionally weak, the manhua version of Xiaobei is a pillar of support for Xiaoxi—someone who has mastered his pain rather than being controlled by it."
"I have to admit that the drama fell short. It simply doesn't hold a candle to the original manhua."
