It is not a bad drama, it just did not deliver what it promised. I was expecting more mystery and focus around the whole Dear M thing but it felt underwhelming, including the reveal. Also, it was weird how the "main leads" took a back seat and the story focused more on the love triangle between the second couple and the frenemy.
There were a few more things that made this feel like your regular school drama.
There was nothing in particular that made this stand out from the crowd. Ignore the synopsis and keep your expectations low and you might be able to enjoy this drama more than I did.
I hate having to go to apps like these and buying a membership so I use ad blocker plus on my laptop and then…
I watched it 5 months ago but the subs were not great, which is why I was waiting for iqiyi to release the episodes to everyone hoping the subs were better. I rarely watch dramas through these apps, only when there is some advantage to it, like better subs or it just not being available anywhere else. I have been watching dramas for over 10 years so I have found quite a few websites and fansubs were I can watch dramas.
I found one with eng subs they published it a year ago.
I said "no improvement to the subs", I did not say there were no subs. I know there are subs on YouTube but they are machine translated, not human translated and it is hard to understand anything the characters are saying.
All these short dramas are starting to get annoying. This is the result of Tik Tok and a generation that has a hard time focusing on anything for a long period of time. Imagine being a teacher and having to deal with kids that cannot focus on class for longer than a few minutes. Yikes
I think there has been 1 maybe 2 short dramas that I watched that I thought were decent, and they were like 10 minutes long, not 2. There just is not enough time to develop a plot in such a short time. Everything feels rushed, superficial and amateur.
This one is pretty bad compared to some of the other short dramas I have watched and I am unable to keep watching. Even with it being so short, it still feels like a waste of time.
I would rather watch a 1h per episode drama that has an interesting plot than 2 minutes of this. ^^'
Sounds like a Ren Jia Lun drama with no real kissing. 😆
I am pretty sure I could see his face while they were doing it, but these days you can literally paste someone’s face into someone else’s face so... ^^'
One second they make the female lead extremely smart, the next they make her dumb, the villains do not seem that smart but somehow are one step ahead, the least bad of the villains dies while the others get redemption?? Some characters had potential for more but that potential was wasted. And the list goes on.
Like someone else in the comments said - this is both good and complete trash.

I have watched some of his dramas and he kisses. Maybe the kisses are a bit more family friendly since he is married and that can sometimes cause issues between the couple, but at least he touches lips when kissing.
This Chinese remake isn't as bad as u think. I think the main FL did pretty decent job acting as a robot and human.…
Yeah, that is exactly what I meant. I hate comparing two shows. I usually even avoid watching remakes at all if I have watched the original. If I do end up watching, it has to be at least 2 or 3 years later.
But I recently re-watched the original version so the story is very fresh in my head and watching the trailer and looking at the number of episodes this will have, I feel like it will be a more dragged version of the original story and that does not make me wanna watch it.
Maybe a few years from now I will feel like giving this one a chance.
