First love at 40 is tough :)

PLOT: ML, a talented but eccentric and somewhat autistic interior designer, makes life difficult for those around him. He keeps crossing paths with Dr. Gu, also 40, calm and not particularly interested in marriage. As they meet, she gradually begins to open up.

+++ Wallace Huo (always excellent) and Zhu Zhu as CL
+++ The difficulties of a mature romance between two "older" bachelors: a subject rarely explored from this angle.
+++ Very cute and surprisingly expressive dog (kudos to the trainer)
+++ Lively direction, with beautiful work on the visuals, framing, and lighting, but the pacing is slow at times.

### Xiao Man's character is annoying (I don't know how old she's supposed to be, but she's childish, very dependent... I have trouble understanding the connection between her and Dr. Gu (o-_-o) ) and she takes up way too much screen time.

=> Wallace Huo literally carries the series on his shoulders!! Watched it once, but I won't watch it again.

C'est dur un 1e amour à 40 ans :)

PLOT: Le ML, designer d'intérieur talentueux mais excentrique et un peu autiste, mène la vie dure à son entourage. Il ne cesse de croiser le chemin du Dr Gu, 40 ans aussi, calme et peu tentée par le mariage. Au fil des rencontres, elle va peu à peu percer sa coquille.

+++ Wallace Huo (toujours excellent) et Zhu Zhu en CL
+++ Difficultés d'une romance mature entre 2 "vieux" célibataires : sujet peu abordé sous cet angle.
+++ Chien très cute et étonnamment expressif (Kudos au dresseur)
+++ Réalis° vive, avec un beau travail sur les images, les cadrages, les lumières, mais la narration est lente par moments.

### Le personnage de Xiao Man est agaçant (je ne sais pas quel âge elle est censée avoir, mais elle est puérile, très dépendante, ... j'ai du mal à comprendre le lien entre elle et le Dr Gu (o-_-o) ) et il prend bcp trop de place à l'écran.

=> Wallace Huo porte littéralement la série sur ses épaules !! Vu une fois, mais je ne regarderai pas à nouveau.
