My main problem with this drama is that I didn't feel any chemistry between the main actors. The story I was drawn to most was Connor Leong's acting as Meizuo. Maybe the Casablanca-name-drop and story vibes, along with using As Time Goes By motif hit my soft spot. I felt that the cliche's between the 4 boys in F4 and each relationship was dragged out and didn't blend very nicely with the main plotline between Shancai and Daoming Si. The writers gave up at the end and I almost couldn't finish watching because of how much I hated what was going on in the last couple episodes.

The length of the drama made each obstacle the main characters went through from touching to can-you-get-this-over-with. It was the same circle of repetitiveness and cliches. The soundtrack did a great job matching with the mood of the drama, but I really didn't see a justification of them using River so much. I sped through many parts just because of how predictable each part became.

I do have a problem with Dylan Wang's acting, and you can come at me. Every part he had to show emotion, I didn't feel anything except awkwardness. Of course he's a young actor and has room to improve, but I wish I saw a little more push for emotion.

My last personal opinion and problem with this drama, among many others, is Dong Shancai. Like, the name. I know you can come at my review for "flawed logic", "logical fallacy" but I just don't like it. Who names their kid after a plant, and mostly, a weed? It's so unpoetic and choppy. It's that simple: I. Hate. Dong. Shancai's. Name.
