When the acting is so good it makes up for the truly terrible story
==Breakdown==
Background plot- 10%
Romance - 80%
Misc comedy - 10%
Background plot - Not much of a plot, the romance was the story for the most part. That said, the 10% storyline with her friends was quite good.
Romantic chemistry - Off the charts
Misc comedy - Fine
Production value and direction - Fine
This is a toxic romance story that ends in a completely absurd way (given who the main characters are). The ending is a complete fantasy and not at all based in reality. The character of Luke was low key verbally abusive and didn't really improve over the course of the show. This was one of those strange/odd situations where the plot was completely bonkers but the actually script (dialogue) never felt forced or over-the-top, and I have to credit the direction and acting choices more than the writing.
The two leads (and the rest of the cast) did an absolutely phenomenal job with what they were given. I have to call out Jing Bo Ran for breathing life into the character of Luke and making this absurd character attractive and interesting. I do not think any other actor could have managed such a herculean task.
This is worth watching if you enjoy shows with excellent chemistry and toxic relationships. I would never want to date someone like Luke or Flora, but I was thoroughly entertained during 80% of this drama, which is why it gets an 8 out of 10.
