Kinda lost portential because of story pacing

I really like both the actors that's why i completed it. I definetly did skip a lot of scenes.

All the characters were good individually but when together nothing felt in in place. It not totally the worst drama but the pacing is so off.

The main leads were good and had charcter growth also. Their dynamic was diffrent then usually. The FL is not a girl boss, is a normal employee who goes to work, want to have a peaceful normal life with a loved one. She was able to go from someone who is not so outspoken and will just let go because of fear of confronting to someone who would strive to hold on her place and show she's worth it.
The Ml was also a rich kid who grew up in a cushioned environment. He was open with his thoughts and didnt held them back. Also i like how expressive he was with FL.

The Second leads couple, Jingjing and lu ze were good. However i did not like jun and dang yu couple. the whole thing with jun's parents was so off and the screentime with them felt wasted ( i skipped most of their scenes)

The ex has such low self esteem and would drag down whoever was with him. Liao Shiyu was a good person who did rolled back in time and realised when she needed to let go.

but even if the characters were fun there were abrupt cuts in between . random scenes . It's like they had something in mind (a cute romcom with workplace romance) but came out with whatever this was

good overall watch but some parts could be skipped

I finished watching the show, and it is definitely a good watch if you are looking for a romance drama which will give you butterflies. (And you don't have anything else shortlisted) . There's no breakup here and the leads do clear up their misunderstanding before getting together.

Talking about acting the two leads did a good job especially the FL. I found her character very similar to me , in age and point of life so she was very relatable. She is not a all cheerful and bubbly girl but also not too serious. She is fun with her friends, serious when it comes to work, is not afraid to take stand for herself.

The ML is a little bit broody in start but you get it if you know why. He lost his dream job because of an accident has to start from scratch in a new field. on top of that he thinks the FL just played with him. He could have been more direct and cleared things up earlier but it's okay.

The FL 's friends were shitty but realistic. I loved her uncle and aunt and jiang rui.

Maybe instead of Zhuang xu's work-life we could have got more of ML's personal life.

However as many people have already pointed out there are many filler scenes. For eg the first five episodes which show the Fl in college and her misunderstanding with the placeholder SML (he doesn't really give SL vibes) could have been finished in one or two episodes. Song wei long's real entry happens after episode 5 before that he is literally having almost zero screen time.

Also what was the last episode, it was set in 2028 with robots and ai in cars but other parts were not that futuristic, maybe they could have wrapped up with a good family meetup or just at marriage.
