longer series
It really was a great series. Of course, I wish it had been a bit longer, and I would’ve loved more screen time for Jun and ShawnOne of the standout aspects for me was Wu Zheng’s character. Instead of the typical “playboy equals red flag” trope, he was refreshingly different—open, gentle, and unafraid to express his feelings. It made his relationships feel more genuine and emotionally satisfying to watch.
The only part that got a bit frustrating was the commentary from the two teenagers about the relationship. It felt unnecessary, especially since they were essentially behaving in similar ways themselves. That irony wasn’t really addressed, which made their criticism come off as a bit hypocritical.
Overall, though, it was a really enjoyable watch with strong character dynamics and a refreshing take on romance.

I honestly think this is a very good series. The actors did a great job with their performances, and the overall production was really well done. However, there is one thing I’m still upset about—Don’s death. Seriously, why did they have to kill him? Let my man live! I was low-key watching the series mostly for Don and Pond, and Don was such a babygirl character that it made it even harder to watch him die. I was literally crying my eyes out during that scene.One thing I really loved about the show was how well the music matched the mood of each scene. For example, when a scene was sad, the music became emotional, and when things got more intense or “spicy,” the music reflected that too. It really helped make the moments feel more powerful.
I do think it took a little too long for the main couple to get back together, but I liked how the show let us see what their relationship was like in the past and how much it had changed over time. That made their development feel more meaningful.
Overall, I’d give this series an 8.5/10. I would highly recommend watching it if you haven’t already—and if you have, it’s definitely worth a rewatch
