Same Story. Different Feeling.

I almost never write reviews but I couldn't stand the slander this series is receiving.

Firstly, it is predictable. We all must have watched a similar story in this language or another, but this was different in the way the actors portrayed it. The dialogue was fresh and simple. Every episode made me think deeply about my life.

I saw a comment someone wrote about it not being relatable. And I think our problem is trying to find ourself in every story. Making us assume we are the centre of the world. Meanwhile, we haven't lived every struggle or every fantasy, so what makes us think we can relate to every story?

This story is light-hearted, but not in a flippant way. It will make you think.

This drama will push the buttons you didn't know you had.

This drama is good, very good. The actors portrayed what the writer wanted so well that I also hate the drama.

I'm not here to give a full review, just to rant. If I skip the ML's parts with his mother and her relatives, I would give it an 8.5 or a 9. But because I want to get the whole gist, I end up not skipping.

I refuse to believe that someone can be as spineless as Ling Xiao. He has all the annoying attributes (he can't say no to her or stand his ground against her) of a mama's boy without being a mama's boy (his mom hates him).

As a woman, no matter how loving and handsome you claim to be, if you cannot stand and protect yourself and me, we won't be together.

Jianjian was an outspoken and no-pushover girl till she started dating this man and he had a negative impact on her. She now takes the abuse his mother and sister rain in her.

I think he likes and enjoys wallowing in self-pity that's why he didn't stand up to them.

The abuse he receives overshadows the wholesomeness of the drama for me.

Also, there is only one and half good and loving adult in the whole series - one is Jianjian' father and the half is Ling xiao's father because he is an absentee father towards his son but a good person.

If the further I watch and I see ML be protective of his mental health and of those who love him, I'll update but till then....NO.
