didn't disappoint
I think they forgot his hair was wavy near the end 😂 if you're looking for steamy romantic scenes (which seems to be the only reason why some badly written dramas get highly rated in here) then you won't get that. but if you're looking for something that shows loyalty and emotional bonds beyond physical attraction, then you'll like this. the FML age limits what physical intimacy can be done but it doesn't take away from the bond that is built between the ML and FML. the war story in this is way better than more complete feeling than pursuit of jade where that military story fell off the plot. The songs and story was well done. acting was cute and humorous and serious and sad when it needed to be, very well rounded without one genre taking over the other. My favorite character of Neo will always be Ji Bozai though 😂😂 his attitude as that character being ruthless was all in his expressions. all in all this didn't disappointWas this review helpful to you?

Really good if you can get past some plot holes
I've watched this a few times now as I waited for the next episode plus the songs are really nice. Their connection felt real and deeper than the usual romance plots. It's less about making out and being physical and more about substantial, deep rooted love. Highly recommend this drama, it's a good life romance with deeper themes and less fan service.If you enjoyed Go Ahead you'll enjoy this
HOWEVER,
The ending felt rushed, a bit too quick to wrap up everyone's story. I'm surprised they didn't show them finally married or wearing rings after all they went through to be stable together.
They could have shown more of when he was abroad in the underground boxing ring considering the mention of going there to that country for a work trip or in conversation made him visibility tense. We know he was working with the police to make up for the fire incident but getting over the trama from being in country jin for 3 yrs should have been more prominent.
They don't explain why Tu Li stopped Cen Ye in the parking lot either. Why would she know him or need him? never answered.
Did he sell his mom's house? why'd he get rid of his car only to say they need another one? if they took a taxi the Hai City, when did his motorcycle get there?
They didn't show what she went through in college, although you see a bit of her emotions whenever she reads her old diary. They should have shown a bit more of her emotional struggle with him sending her away now that she was back or in conversation say how she became resolved to come back.
I will likely rewatch for the millionth time ❤️

why is the rating so low?
this isn't as bad as it seems and the rating system on here is deceiving. the story is gripping from the opening. I do think the first half was more gripping but by the time you get to the second part of the story you're already invested. not to say its bad, it could have been wrapped up with one in 20 somethih episodes instead of 33. I'm not sure why they make the ML into a kicked dog in every drama he's supposed to be "wicked" when it comes to women. the FML character is overboard with the pride. Other than that this is pretty good, again the low rating is not accurate and seems biasedWas this review helpful to you?
Had potential
the high rating for this is misguided. the story fell short of the opening build up. The FML and ML had good chemistry the actors just had a bad script the pace is very slow and boring even though it's meant to be suspenseful and dramatic.Side characters are pointless to the plot. The romance is adorable but the betrayal seems like a pointless plot. her decite should have revolved around the truth behind her dad's situation which the ML later uncovers etc. It's lacking emotional dept that the story seemed to want to haveWas this review helpful to you?
