Mature loveable leads
China is really cranking up the game on their dramas these last few years, been watching them alongside Korean and Japanese dramas this last 6 years, and you can tell the difference. In fact I’m probably consuming more chinese shows than ever before. Love it!
Chemistry in this show was off the charts, great casting for everyone except the parents in both sides, they were just major disappointment from start to finish.
My only issues with this show was the handling of the friends husband, it didn’t seem legitimate (the reason) nor well executed (the divorce) which seemed like a nice tidy insta way to get rid of him to make way for the friend. I wish that plot would have been written differently or more drawn out. He didn’t fight for her one bit and it didn’t sit right the rest of the show. It’s not like he was philandering and desperately trying to get out of his marriage. I’m not taking off a star for that though, what I did do though was remove one for the absolutely ridiculous trope of “we must break up because someone close to you may have done something bad so you take all the blame naturally even though you were a literal child” trope. I can’t stand it. Especially when the writers have given us an extremely mature plot thus far. She went from I’ll always stand by you, to, I’m not even going to let you explain and walk out of his life in a hot flash. Disappointing. At least it didn’t last too long, but it was ridiculous.
