Convoluted relationships showing the complexity of emotions and motivations of couples
Honestly watched this only for Liu Yuning and thought it was just a standard modern day romance drama. This ended up being a drama that was at times frustrating yet eye opening to watch. How many of us can truly say that relationships are pure and simple? To be fair, the plot does create the conditions to explore one angle of the intricacies of temptation, commitment and love, which can make you think - what kind of crazy and morally grey show is this?! It then turns on itself and explores the fallacies of certain mindsets, which all in all made for a decent show that's not complete fluff/sugar/bewilderment.
Definitely stellar acting from the leads, and Vengo Gao reminds a favourite for me, where he balances his goofy/dorky charactor with an underlying steadiness which made the characterisation much more nuanced and enjoyable to watch. Plus points for it being different from his other roles which could seem more on the stiffer and stoic side LOL he was a cheeky lovestruck clown in this one. However, the acting from the other characters fell a little flat for me.
