The story was boring

The story was boring and the characters were unnatural and annoying, especially Xia Cha. The acting was terrible, but I still watched it until the end because the actor who played Ze Fang was handsome
I honestly don’t understand how Cha could be so emotionless, petty, and irritating, yet everyone liked him. Shouldn’t he be the most devastated after his grandson died, especially since his soul ended up inside his grandson’s body? The ending of this drama was truly awful. No matter how much you say Ze Fang was a bad person, he didn’t deserve to die at such a young age. And Cha had lived a long life—he was the one who raised Ze Fang, his only family and the only reminder of his child and wife. How could he not care at all and immediately start clinging to a young guy the same age as his grandson? I also really hate when many dramas portray old men as innocent and pure. In reality, old men probably have way more experiences than young people that strip away their innocence. Meanwhile, Cha acted like a little girl, even though he’s an eighty-something-year-old man. I honestly can’t recommend this drama at all. I just can’t accept that Cha, whose soul is in Ze Fang’s body, cared less about Ze Fang’s death than Guan Ri Qing did. It’s ridiculous. And the second couple was absolutely pointless—they contributed nothing to the story. If they hadn’t been there, it would have made no difference, since none of their relationship was even shown.
