I feel like I'm in the minority once more with this one, seeing it as an 8.7 overall from yall which is lowkey impressive but just a 7.5 from me. Now let me explain. The casting ate, no doubt. The chemistry was chemistrying with Zhang Linghe and Xu Ruohan. As a little summary: The cast casted. The chemistry chemistried. The characters charactered. The visuals visualed. The acting acted. The emotions emotioned. But the story did not story. Everything was amazing, the casting, the acting, the production: the only thing that let me down was the plot. It was alright in the beginning, but started blanding out during the middle, picked up the pace again and then lost the pace again. Some episodes were unnecessary and although 28 episodes is little in the cdrama industry, I feel like it was too much. The plot was flat, with no drama whatsoever except a little when the ex jumps in and maybe when Shen Xifan decides to go to Switzerland and maybe when a little drama between her and He Suye develops. The ending was satisfactory with their marriage and the loose ends tied up (i love it when that happens, when there are no cliffhangers or reappearances of dead characters) All in all: too long for a story like this, had to force myself to finish watching it. Plot really too plain for me, nothing really happening most of the time. Watching it feels like I haven't watched it. Not as bad as some, therefore the 7.5 but could be improved. If you like simple romances, should watch, but if you're like me and don't, stay away. It will bore you to death. (p.s just my opinion, if you like light dramas watch it, you will probably enjoy it. :) (Ignore my rating for music, unless it's really good I just put a two for everything)
