Sadly the the story is choppy and not told well. So many holes as everyone says. The production team and backend folks should have done better. Only the casting director seemed to have had any skillful foresight and deeper insight for this project.

The cast, especially the main actors are great. Lusi is young and just starting to build on her career so not as skilled as she is now but still very good. This is the same for Xu Kai. Hopefully they get cast again in another drama together. I would love to see them in something better. Love them both. I'd be happy if they even tried to do this story again with a new screenwriter, director and editor. (Random info I found interesting: the screenwriter and director was the same guy. He was roughly 30 yrs old at the making of this film. Little to no experience otherwise. I guess he had a lot of confidence in himself.)

Objectively, I don't recommend this movie. This being said because I like these types of characters, the general concept of the story, the actors and I have a poor memory; I will be rewatching this. I've watched this three times already and will likely watch this again if I get bored in a year or so.
