Things I adored
1 The FL actress. She's gorgeous, the perfect body, the perfect face and quite a talent. I will definitely search for her other dramas. I'd love to see her in a rom com.
2 Yu Meng, the FL character. She was tough yet soft. Smart, playful and funny. I know sometimes you can be temped to yell at her to do something else, but I won't focus on that. Not when all in all the actress gave a great performance and the character came alive. I loved that she took time to find her path before committing to anything in her personal life. That was sensible.
3 The outfits of the FL. They were gorgeous. I think I didn't dislike a single one, and I always spot awful outfits in dramas. Here I think everyone was well dressed, but she was fabulous.
4 The intro music. I just loved that song. I listened to it once the episode started and again when it ended. I think it was perfect and that is the second or third time I like a song that much.
Things I loved
1 The little girl. What an adorable child. Although she didn't have many scenes, the actress did a great job, and the character was also cute and loveable.
2 Kang Long. What an easy wonderful character. I didn't like the way they didn't show more about his relationship with the 2FL and the little girl, but he did a great job to make me love the character. Charismatic and also a loyal friend and partner professionally and personally.
3 Harry. The actors is handsome and a great actor. He made me feel for him and I was rooting for him to be happy. He also may have some laps in judgment but he was a decent person and for his age that is more than commendable. I loved his relationship with the FL, the attorney and his mom. He was a good kid that had two crazy parents, so it's a miracle he survived. I would have loved to see him later in his life. He's the one we didn't get a glimpse. A shame.
4 The ML. At first I thought I wouldn't like him, but I was soon conquered. I'm not saying he's on my favorite actors list, but I don't mind watching him in another drama. Only one thing bothered me. He reminded me a lot another actor and that for some reason was always on my mind. His character was great, though. He was also a decent person and his attempt to help his ex-colleague was something I loved.
5 Weng Yue. I think the actress is beautiful and talented and I loved her character. I was so happy about the way she came through for the FL and how they worked together to save her sister. I'd love to see other dramas with her.
6 Wen Xiao Xiao. Yes, she was meant to be a villain, but her arc was much more interesting. I loved the actress, beautiful and talented, but also her character. It wrung true since I do know from experience that when we are young we misjudge things a lot and I loved even more how her relationship with the FL ended.
7 Dong Jun. I loved the character and how loyal was to the FL.
8 The plot itself. I thought it was quite well done, although there were some things that didn't make sense and could have been better. But the whole arc was great and quite logic. Well, logic when people go crazy, but still. It was a good revenge story and not too dark. I skip more revenge stories because the people who seek revenge cross the line, but here she was perfect the FL.
Things I liked
1 The 2FL. She is a pretty woman and she was okay as character and as actress. I just didn't love her for several reasons although most aren't her fault. I didn't like the way she dealt with her daughter and Kang Long. I thought she was a little nonsensical sometimes and she irritated me. That said, she was a great friend and a loyal person. I loved her relationship with her daughter as well.
2 The relationship between the lawyer and the FL. I can't say I found they had the best chemistry, something was missing, but they had some sweet banter and I wanted them together. Unfortunately, although it didn't bother me that much, we didn't have time to see them explore their personal relationship, but the plot was compelling enough for me not to care. I would have loved a kiss though, or something more than what we had.
Things I disliked
1 The way they treated the second couple. We didn't have enough time with them, not enough conversations between them, not enough scenes with the little girl. The resolution was anticlimactic and to be honest I didn't see any chemistry between them. That was the major fault in that relationship. There was no spark between them, even when they clashed, it was too tepid. So this part was a failure to me and one of the reasons I lowered my rating to 9 instead of 10.
2 The mother of the FL. Yes she became reasonable later on but in the first episodes she irritated me so so much. I hate idiotic women, especially when they try to trap their children with nonsense. At least she redeemed herself.
3 Lu Hui. I can't put her in the list of hated since she was a victim after all. Did she do many awful things? Yes. But when you count them they all come from the same place. Her desire to protect her son. She wasn't really greedy, she never hurt someone on purpose, she even saved the father of the FL, and her only weakness was that she trusted a man who lied to her from the very first minute. Although we get to forget being compassionate over time I do know that when you are dealt with a dirty hand it's not always easy to find a way out. I'm happy with how she came clean and paid for her crimes and could be free and a better parent. Not to mention that it was sweet to see her side with the FL and help her. A complex character in a way although still not a great person.
4 President Tian. He was an idiot and I don't care if he came to his senses later.
Things I hated
1 Di Li Ren. Which means he did a great job the actor, although he's not my kind of handsome, he was good in his role and believable. Even though the FL was clearly much younger their couple didn't seem unnatural. Of course his character was well done and there were many surprises along for the viewer to continue to care about the next chapter. I'll be honest, I didn't expect him to go that kind of lengths to keep the company and I didn't expect him to have that kind of connection to the FL's father death. I was even surprised sometimes to pity him. That shows how good he was in his role. He was unredeemable until the last minute yet I sill had some kind of pity for him, and I shouldn't. He was despicable from start to finish.
2 Han Guang. I hated him even more than the ML: First of all, I dislike thoroughly the actor, although he played well the slimy despicable person. No pity whatsoever for him and I wish him a slow death. More about what he did to his wife than the rest. I think he was the character I hated most in this drama and I was happy never to see him again after a certain episode.
3 Peng Cheng. I hate the actor and apparently he specializes in awful characters. I have to admit I hated his character but that mean she did a good job.
4 The last scene with Di Li Ren and Lu Hui. I thought it was cruel and unnecessary and that is what made lower the rating. I'm sorry but what was the point of it? We had everything we need to be happy, why would we need to imagine that Lu Hui would be responsible for Di Li Ren and was bent to get revenge? Sorry that made me mad actually, They ruined the drama for me.
