I don't remember the exact time I watched it. But I do remember it being annoying as hell, tiresome to finish through (mainly cause of episode length) but yeah at the end of the day I did like it a little, more so cause of ML.
I loved it except the melodrama. I would describe it as a dark chocolate. Bittersweet with bad aftertaste. Shame cause straight couples give me an ick unless its noona romance but here leads chemistry was chemistrying so well for me that I could'nt tear away my eyes.
Gao feeling comfortable enough to be vulnerable around cindy is surprising but still wholesome. And how cindy has always got gao's back even after being wronged by a higher-up (for "gao's sake"). I also love how these two aren't your ordinary petty rivals but they actually play it fair. Yeah, they might show gao falter sometimes but at the end of the day she does own up to it and also its consequence rather than refusing to admit that it even happened at all.
It's cliffhangers are more interesting than itself and the only thing which makes me feel anticipated for every next ep. And, I'm saying this as an avid hardcore noona romance watcher. I think that sums up all about how disspointing not only the main plot is but also the romantic side-plot. 4/10 only for the cliffhangers, I know its crazy but it is what it is.
6/10 because I wanted to love it and did but the whole star-crossed lovers put me off.
