All I can say is, the first half of the series is quite entertaining for me... but, after episode 16, how I wish I didn't start watching it. That's to tell how much I can't stand seeing a good novel turns into a disaster series.
I think this series isn't for international audiences like me, because I couldn't understand, nor empathize with the MC.
IMO, she became the main villain in her selfish idiotic acts... but, of course, this is only my personal opinion. I admit that I don't know much about the dating standards in China, nor do I'm familiar with the depth of Chinese culture, thus this is just too much for me.
Don't get me wrong, I have high respect for the Chinese and their grandiose thousands year culture, thus I hope my watch-later Chinese series/movies will reinstate my enjoyment watching C-drama.

Bad director, bad script, and unbelievable (working/office) female outfits.
Overall, watch only when you're in total boredom.
I believe the novel itself wouldn't be bad... In fact, it might be a good one; too bad I can't find the English translation.
My review here might be biased... I watch too many Hollywood movies & series, and only this past 6 months started with Cdrama. The comparison is too huge!! I find too many illogical things and behavior watching this series. I dunno whether this was a normal culture & habit in China, however, I can honestly say, so far, this is the first series that really gives me a headache with such so many senseless characters.

"How to hurt other people or yourself" is a more appropriate title
If you're not accustomed with Chinese cultures like me, you wouldn't enjoy watching such an illogical behaviors of the characters in this drama. I honestly dunno whether it is normal to force a guy to accept crushed feelings from several female supporting roles who are shamelessly obsessed with the male lead, bordering to insanity.Therefore, I truly don't recommend it; do it only when you have nothing else to watch, or just wasting time of your boredom.
I'm well aware that one-sided love happens all the time to all us, but such senseless behaviors in the story of this series is just too much craziness and/or stupidity.

To be brutally honest, most of that modern rom-com Cdrama is a mostly senseless storyline. Watching them is like an insult to my intelligence. I couldn't understand the logical thought and acts of the characters (main & supporting roles).
I have a hard time convincing myself when starting a new series that this one has a good review, but again and again, the MC is just a thoughtless female, borderline to idiotic human species.
Would it be too much to expect normal, honest, real-living characters in Cdrama's modern rom-com?
Or, is it a true portrayal of real dating life in mainland China?
Even though I read review that this is a happy ending series, I just feel sad to imagine such a person exists on this planet.
Can't recommend such a series, unless you throw away your logic when watching this, or you just want to enjoy looking at your idols.
