Better in half

I tried. I really tried to keep watching this but it just got so boring even at 1.25 speed.
EVERY episode-the 3rd wheel is quietly in angst not confessing, ML is devotedly waiting for her to respond, FL insists on denying him AND has zero EQ even though her job is to understand people, bad guy utters "you useless fools' to his lackey, even mom repeatedly deadpans 'honey you're amazing'', her family is utterly irked by ML---- I could go on as to how much the dialogue/story for nearly every character stubbornly repeats ....this show should have been a 12 episode mini drama of 20 min.

On top of that ML Ren Hao does not at all look good in this drama--his wig hair looks like he stuck his finger in a socket and his face is tired and is characterization is like he's asleep..sooo much better looking/intriguing in A Female Student Arrives at the Imperial College where he first caught my attention as better than the ML. FL Snow Kong basically just focuses on gazing with her big eyes-yes she's pretty but so little substance to the character.

Fine filler to air while you're doing something else--this did not hold my attention. Thank goodness Legend of The Female General started up---while the story is full of tropes, so much more compelling to see the next episode!
