The 2nd Couple stole the show

I have to admit the 2nd leading couple stole the show, at least in my opinion. They were so cute, chaotic and basically a perfect match for each other. That does not mean that the main couple didn't have any chemistry at all, but it did feel like Bai Min Min and Zhang Huai Yu had better/more chemistry than them.
The cast's acting varied from quite good to really great. I personally really enjoyed Dai Lu Wa's portrayal as Bai Min Min. She seems like a great actress and I will definitely be looking forward to her next performances. She just has a way to pull in the audience, despite not being the main lead. I also liked Qin Xiao Xuan's portrayal as Liu Mo, I think his eyes are really expressive, which becomes especially apparent at the scene when he learns the truth and cries. He's not simply shedding tears, his microexpressions were great.
Unfortunately I found it quite tedious to finish this drama, especially afrom the 18th episode onwards. It just got boring. It was pretty interesting and enjoyable in the beginning, but somewhere in the middle it just stopped being that. It did have its interesting moments (even after the 18th episode) but they were few and far in between.
Also the 3rd leading couple (Yun Yi and Shu Jing Ran) held zero appeal to me. I found myself completely indifferent towards the pairing, as well as towards Yun Yi as a character. I did like Shu Jing Ran's character, but Yun Yi... I just wasn't interested, it's not like I disliked her, but I simply wasn't interested and wasn't invested in her character. Also her character felt like it was forcefully inserted in the middle of the story. I just couldn't muster any interest in the pairing.
I really liked the ending though! It was very heartwarming!
