The plot is simple but relevant especially to the teenagers or high-schooler/college students . The screenplay is quite fair although most negative is on the character/role and performance of the ML; the other cast (except for the best friend of the FL) are understandable in their irrelivance, if not so-so performance. What negates the FL's performance, which to me she was able to play her role quite well, impressively; and to the whole drama in general - is the performance (screen writer's fault may be) of the ML. Yes, he is supposed to be genius and excellent in almost all aspect. And academic geniuses usually are dumb in love matters - the ML character/role is seemingly appropriate. But he is too robotic - in actuation, gesture, thinking, speaking and all. Being robotic (literally in the drama) - can be understandable; being a genius and therefore dumb in love issues - is understandable too. What is not tolerable is his being too naive and clueless or unthinking on love issues. He is suppose to be smart, scientific, research wizard, calculating, analytical, etc - yet he seems to have failed in those areas when applied in love. He is even sometimes uncaring towards the FL - in her predicaments or pressing concerns as he is too preoccupied with his own concerns on how to win the FL (neglecting the FL's concerns even in front of or beside her). In fact, a lot of his actions or utterances - are unnecessary or irrelevant. He is not really handsome (face); and has lean or skeleton like body. The producers could have chosen a better one. The ML has some lapses or outbursts (seemingly unreasonable) towards the FL - yet he failed to acknowledge those lapses, thus raising the issue about his accountability (a very important aspect in being a good person). perhaps it was director's or screenwriter's fault. But for a chinese drama to fail to address accountability (personal, in this case) issue - is a red flag as non-chinese watchers still think about the virtue of Confucianism. So, non-accountability seems un-Confucian; a letdown.
