Writer squeezed all the cliches of a modern contemporary drama in just last 8 eps
Halfway in, I had really high expectations for this drama. I was elated when IQIYI release the episodes 1 week earlier
But it would have been better had I just watched till episode16. Really Episode 17 onward everything went downwards
The first half were just so smooth, beautiful, from the plot to the acting everything was perfect. It actually set the bar of expectations too high for me. Compared to it the second half- mainly episode 17 onward, I was really disappointed. the characters were there just to cater to the plot The plot was haphazard, incomplete, mismanaged, to say the least. The writer kept on bringing new plot lines which did make sense. Ending was too rushed while a lot of characters were not given a chance to explain themselves. Honestly if these plots were given more screen time, maybe the writer would have been able to execute them better and explore them deeply. But bringing all these plots together in the time frame of 8 episodes, just created a huge mess where nothing was clear and I was just left thinking 'what about that thing/person?' For example take the story of Xiao Wei (not gonna elaborate, otherwise it might be a spoiler) she was just all of a sudden dropped after episode 17 and a new kid appeared out of nowhere and even he was not able to finish his own story line.
The acting by Wan Peng was as expected amazing. She along with the newbie supports kept the drama going. Li Jia Hao and Yu Kun Niu, did not expect it out of them, but they were quite good and well suited to their characters. Evan Lin, honestly I don't know why but his acting has just left me feeling unsettled, incomplete. It felt like most of the time his expression, his tone, just did not match the scene
Music and bgm were honestly cute and kept in pace with drama. 'Meeting You' sung by the two main leads was such feel good song. Gave the feeling of being in a fluffy, light hearted love, strolling in a beautiful weather. Other osts were also quite good
