Uff....

One of the messiest short dramas I’ve watched… But honestly, the "messiness" of the plot isn’t the problem here.

This is a story about Liang Chen (LC) and He Wei Xing (WX).

They first meet when WX accompanies a friend to a photoshoot audition for LC’s clothing brand. But instead of the friend, LC becomes captivated by WX—and chooses him as his model.

From there, the two gradually grow closer day by day. Problems begin to arise when LC’s fans start noticing their closeness, while the other models become jealous of WX’s sudden rise and his relationship with LC.

So, how will their relationship turn out in the end?

That’s basically the main story. However, the biggest issue with this drama on MDL is that it actually consists of two separate parts, yet they are not properly listed there.

The 1st season—8 episodes, 15–20 minutes each—is actually great. It’s clear, well-paced, and tells the full story of how LC and WX meet and fall in love. As a standalone, it works perfectly.

Then comes the 2nd season, or what I called special episodes—4 more episodes, same length. This is the one listed on MDL. And honestly? It sucks. Confusing. All over the place. Feels like random scenes without context.

I watched it first—completely lost and frustrated. Only later did I find a review by CCJM mentioning a prequel. That’s when I realized: I watched them in the wrong order.

If you don’t know about Season 1, this “special” season makes no sense at all.

So overall:
* Season 1 (prequel/demo): 8⭐ — solid, heartfelt, well-told
* Special Episodes (listed on MDL): 2⭐ — messy, disjointed, underwhelming
* Averaged together, that leaves the drama with an overall score of 5⭐..

If you are planning to check this one out, make sure you track down the 8-episode version first, or you will be completely lost!
