Zhang Yuxi and Liu Xue Yi are no strangers for anyone who's watched 'Love and Redemption'. This was an unexpected pairing but I was mostly excited for it because of their BTS poster shoots and Tiktok promos while they filming it. I would say this drama somewhat started strong only to completely fizzle out and recycle the same scenes every episode. I am a bit bitter for all the time I spent on it and only finished watching it for the leads.

PLOT:
There's no plot. At least it never materialized to what it was setting out to be. A girl gets cheated on by a longterm boyfriend cum fiance only to fall for the "wrong guy" or "bad guy". I suppose their initial connection was strong and it was fun to wait for the leads to get together. However the editing and pace of their progress as a couple was all over the place. The ML has an unexplained obsession and was at times crossing the boundaries. The girl was indecisive and at times felt like she was emotionally cheating on her boyfriend as well. Their relationship dynamics were really lacking. The worst part in the plot are the secondary and tertiary couples which were just not even worth the effort of skipping over. In the second half the story was more focused on them than the main couple.

CAST:
Now here is literally where I cannot rate the drama super low. Liu Xue Yi did a decent job but Yuxi was quite lacking in the acting department. However I appreciate her chemistry with the ML as their interactions never felt awkward.

WHAT WORKS:
-The leads and their chemistry
-Not many misunderstandings after they get together

WHAT SUCKED:
-All supporting casts
-The unsatisfactory ending

OVERALL:
I'll give this one a hard pass unless what you're looking for is just eye candy because the leads were super easy on the eyes.
