Dragged-Out Drama with Frustrating Cycles – Not Even Yang Yang Could Save It ....I REALLY TRIED
Abandoned at Episode 26
I started this for Yang Yang, but even he couldn’t keep me till the end.
The story had good bones, but the execution? A complete mess. From the very first episode, Xu Qin returned without resolving the very issue that led to their breakup (her delightful mother), and then she just kept interfering in Song Yan’s life over and over. At that point, I mentally checked out.
The constant cycle of “This is the last time we’ll see each other” only for them to meet again and say the exact same thing? Infuriating.
Then there was the borderline incestuous implication of her brother being in love with her—why? And somehow, despite not being “good enough” for the mother’s precious son, the same mother still wanted to micromanage Xu Qin’s life? The contradictions were exhausting. (Yes, I realize I just complained about the weird brother dynamic, but hey, this is the story they gave us. I’m just working with what I’ve got… LOL.)
By the time they finally got together, I was so over it. I won’t be finishing this one, folks. And to those giving it a 10/10—I salute you, because this was a hard 4 for me. And trust me, it pains me to give Yang Yang a score that low.
