before getting to the film itselt,I want to say something. Before this film premiered, I had heard Zhao Luci had to lose a lot of weight for her role in this fil,m, which after watching it, I really don't understand why! she looked very malnurished, with no life in her eyes. I don't understand why actresses are forced into these stupid unhealthy bodystandards by the filmmakers or their agencies.

Now let's go to the good and bad points of the film:

The story on the first half had the potential of being good. The acting of some of the cast was very good too. Zhao Luci didn't dissappoint as always. She played such a different role very well. I also like the acting of some other casts like the little brother/son of the ML, the mother in law.

But the male lead ...? he's a good actor but I don't know why in this drama his acting felt forced and unnatural.
and the script/story! it felt like the first and second half were written by two different people who decided not to consult each other! The genre suddenly changed. The comedy in the second half, felt forced and unnecessary. And the male lead character was ... well hard to sympathize with. to the point that, I honestly would have liked it better if the FL wouldn't go back to him.

I'm usually the type that can rewatch the films I enjoyed and even liked a little. But I would definitly NOT rewatch this one.
