The premise was interesting, and the beginning started out great. At first I was low-key shipping the brother and the adopted-sister, without even knowing the whole story until the brother’s bestie proved himself a worthy partner. As it turned out, He Ting Zhou had been silently pining her for years. I was fine with the evil step-mother even, as is she’s the staple villain that is requisite in every Cinderella-esque story.

But what blind-sided me is the complete reversals of some characters and there was not even any warning. Shen Yu’s pathetic attempts to grasp Shuang Yu’s misplaced affections are equally absurd, like a cowardly child hiding behind his mother’s coattails and sulking when his friend takes his sweets. A decent, quick watch, but nothing ground-breaking.
