Sweet, Warm Unicorn Drama with Momentum and Some Teasing/Risqué Situations

I agree with reviewer Susie Queue. This was a nice show of the right length with decent actors, good script, and worth the wait outcome (the cliff-hanger had me hoping for another season). I didn't notice any plot loopholes, but I tend to fast-forward past all the planning and subterfuge to get to the next romantic scene more quickly. (You would be surprised to find out what information/exposition is really not needed to still follow the plot at a reasonable level.) So, it's a sweet show that also happens to push the envelope on women's roles. I am also wondering, and this could be my imagination, but with a script that has a woman choosing between two men for the greater part of the drama, if there isn't a little civic investment in raising the birth rate by pushing the message that a woman ought to be able to date two men at the same time. Just a thought. And given that the FL states in the show (I'm paraphrasing) that it may not be too bad to watch two men being close if they are both handsome, I also wonder if iQIYI isn't trying to boost the ratings of their BL offerings by providing a soft-sell to women who ordinarily wouldn't see the appeal of such shows. Again, just a thought. I hope all the young actors and character actors in this show have opportunities to move into longer, A-list dramas, as they did a great job here and are all very pretty.
