I am a fan of Xiao Ding, but this drama definitely has some issues.

The show tries too hard to keep the audience guessing who the villain is. Honestly, there are better ways to do this—like having multiple villains ranging from small fry to the big boss, or introducing different subplots to keep things interesting. It shouldn't just mislead the audience by throwing in a red herring villain who appears out of nowhere and then vanishes. It really muddies the waters.

The female lead is still a teenager, so it makes sense for her to be stubborn and headstrong. However, it's hard to understand why someone with no real skills is so unafraid of death. Where does her courage even come from? The drama should have given her an unusually strong motive for her obsession with justice. I say 'unusually' because she constantly takes pointless risks without even having any guards.

The male lead does a great job carrying all the drama, whether it makes sense or not. The part near the end feels particularly bizarre, almost like they just wanted to drag the story out for another 2–3 episodes.

As for the romance, the male lead should have guessed by now that the female lead is his childhood friend. The drama handled this subplot poorly by failing to drop proper hints for him to notice, causing him to find out way too late.
