Double ML who have more chemistry with each other than with the FL

I watched this for Zhao Zhendong but surprisingly he had more chemistry with Wang Xuan more than Cui Shiyi.

Cui Shiyi was another good kisser in duanju but she lack of showing the vulnerable emotion from unrequited love. She may good on strong FL but her weakest moment still feel artificial.

Zhao Zhendong's portrayal of Older Brother is heartbreaking, showcasing a vast range of acting talent. He perfectly captures the character's restraint, timidity, ruthlessness, wit, and deep affection.

Wang Xuan's scenes are also explosive, portraying a complex mix of misunderstanding and love-hate relationship. The female lead's character is also well-developed; though she suffers from unrequited love, she gives genuine affection.

I quite like the brothers moment and the brothers deliver powerful performances. The entire drama is emotionally charged, full of tension, and highly immersive. Although the overall plot isn't perfect, the character portrayals especially the brothers and amazing, making it worth to watch for fans of actors.
