The Main Couple Carried This Drama
I’d been wanting to watch this drama for ages, although I did have some reservations because, from a few clips I’d seen beforehand, I had a feeling it might not be quite my cup of tea. Still, ever since I started watching Esther Yu’s dramas, I haven’t been able to stop, so I thought I’d give this one a go.
If I’m being completely honest, Esther Yu, Vin Zhang and their fantastic chemistry are what really make this drama worth watching. I absolutely loved their love story and how it unfolds, much more than I’d expected given my initial doubts. They’re easily the best thing about the whole show.
Unfortunately, I can’t say the same about the second couple. I found them absolutely unbearable. They’re so dull and have so little chemistry that even the FL’s parents are more entertaining to watch together. On top of that, they get far too much screen time. I eventually started skipping all their scenes and still had no trouble following their storyline. Honestly, I reckon this drama would have been so much better as a 24-episode series focused on the main couple, rather than dragging things out to 35 episodes just to give so much screen time to a secondary couple I couldn't care less about.
As for the pacing, I found the episodes set in the FL’s hometown a bit of a drag. But once the main couple returned to the city, things picked up again and I found myself completely hooked.
Overall, although the drama didn't quite win me over completely, I had a great time watching the main couple and their love story. I genuinely think it could have been so much better with fewer episodes and more focus on the leads.
