Jiejie romance tackling big age gap and mental health issue

Jiejie romance is my favourite trope so this title caught my eye. I read that FL was supposed to be in her late 30s or early 40s so I clicked play. Overall I liked the drama but take note that this drama deals with heavy stuff.

Trigger warning: Mental health issue, Suicide

What I liked:
1. Romance - Sexual tension was high as ML was in his teens when he started having a crush on FL. Good thing FL maintained her boundaries between them. This is a slowburn with romantic relationship between them developed when he was in his 20s.
2. Acting - It was my first time watching Ma Hao Dong & Li Sheng Xuan. Great performances by both and their chemistry was amazing.
3. Conflict - I liked how conflicts were explored in this drama especially from the view of FL. She got her demons to overcome.
4. Styling - Both leads wore great outfits especially ML. I liked MHD in buzz cut.

What I disliked:
1. Suicide - It was tough watching scenes of suicide attempt.
