Pleasant attempt at a good story
This show literally took fantasy to another level, despite having all real persons and not being an anime. The concept is an interesting one, where the world they live in has an amazing ability via a phone that isn't connected to a persons vitals, but I guess the technology is just that advance.This show managed to take so many persons and make them practically unlikable or so sad that you don't even feel like they deserve the pity because they setup a small wooden chair in their own personal pity party. Filled with the stupidest decisions in the world and reasonings that are never shared sometimes... Sometimes it is best to tell people which bridge to jump off, because they are rubbish as a person. Also believe it or not, if you sit by and watch people treat others like rubbish and you don't let them know that they need to be better... You aren't much better. A lot of these characters could have just made sense out of the nonsense, but they were written to not.
The main male leads actually have a lot of chemistry and their bromance was solid, it was actually one of the highlights for me, because having great friends is always a plus, they jut kinda need to make one of them less self-loathing. Your friend values you to the max, just accept it, allow them to be unconditionally kind to you and tell him the truth.
The romance was a nice one, they built on it little by little, which gave it a solid real life feal, the chemistry between them was also pretty good. The back stories shown in flashbacks were very good for the character development as well. The reality of the different status was also well done but the pride of all involved should have been limited.

HIStory: Stay Away From Me

Short and Sweet
The acting in this was so intense, I could have mistaken this for a real life story. Never have I believed a panic moment more than when Feng He closed the door on Cheng Qing. That was real, I don't care what you all say.Story - Having them meet randomly before actually meeting officially made the impact of that panic reaction by Feng He all the more potent. Feng he was literally perfect and everything he did was out of love mainly for his mother and her happiness, but later on for his own. The moment when he was arguing with himself while thinking about the situation he is in. I felt it, his confusion, his anger, his concern for what his mom would think, his worry about what his new dad might think. It was all so real as he sat and Cried at the table. When Cheng couldn't take it anymore and made up his mind and left a note (that they didn't do subtitles for :( ) I could feel the anguish of both characters. The friend Meng needed a lil few taps upside her head though. Why would you complicate things between them, because you living in a fantasy, I'm happy they both decided to forgive you but seeing Feng He face as he walked alone in the rain. I wanted to yell at you for them.
Acting - I think I made it clear already that the acting was spot on by these wonderful blokes. They literally made me want to hug them when they hurt and cheer when they had their little moments. For example that bike incident was not that serious, but the way he held him made it perfect. Especially since he tried to play it cool when he realised. Even the girl did an awesome job.
Music - The music was pretty basic, it helped to set the mode but didn't add to my emotion. This isn't necessarily bad, so I still was okay with it.

Short but still captivating
This story within a story isn't a new concept, but their story is new to me and it was totally worth watching. They balanced reality and some mystery magic well, because as far as happy endings go, they can be happy in a sad way or happy in a happy way. This story offer both, which honestly had me wanting to cry, laugh and smile all at once, all while being punctuated by some slight action.The two main leads literally just fell into each other's lives and in true drama fashion, caused drama. Their playful antics and general silliness made them a joy to watch on screen. I was thrilled to realised that they had begun to care for each other by midway through. The chemistry between them was undeniable, and the bromance that was ever present to the end was heart warming to be honest. I mean the sacrifice that was made to have everyone happy at the end was true genius, I didn't see it coming but was glad and sad it came.
