I´ve seen it. It´s a variation where the FLplays a fool, but it wasn´t quite my cup of tea. To much "over the top" acting.
Funny thing: Wang Nan has his own version of "FL plays fool"-variation https://kisskh.at/793672-guai-guai-ru-ju-jiao-si-da-lao-wu-bu-di-tou

Wow, what a disappointment. I was interested because of Chen Si, but it seems I will skip this one.
But thanks for the recommendation.

note: the girl playing Fl´s bestie is a cute actress who played main leads in other dramas, but I just can´t remember her name found it! it´s Wu Yi Qiao

Thanks. How did you like this adaptation? I found it to be a little bit underwhelming. Perhaps my expectations were just to high having seen the original K-Drama

I really don´t get why this drama has such a low rating.
Do people really prefer all the "abuse and back to toxic ex" plots?
