I rarely write reviews but I felt compelled to write this one, because I feel quite upset at how the show ended for the most likeable, sweetest character of the show, Chen Pinjun.
I know not every show has to be about likeable characters, and it doesn't have to go the way I want it to, but I really found it hard to separate my feelings towards the two main characters from the show itself. I couldn't stand Yan Fei and Hai Qing, ESPECIALLY Hai Qing, who arguably was the most feeble-minded, self-centered idiot. Both mains cheated on their partners who truly loved them. And what chemistry are they talking about, I didn't see any chemistry or any real reason why they would be so attracted to one another.
Pinjun was the best character for me in terms of who I could actually empathise with and whose actions I understood. Yet he is the one most wronged. He went through hell because of Haiqing, only to be left alone in the end. I find that very upsetting. I was not hoping for him to stay with Haiqing, because Haiqing is an asshole, but I was hoping we'd get some sort of scene where he finds a new partner a while later, someone who truly cherishes him and treats him right. I didn't cry watching this show until I realised there's no happy ending for Pinjun.

The acting wasn't all that great to be honest, and I was bored of the stupid back-and-forth storyline between the mains. The OST was nice and the cinematography fitted the story with all the cool tones. Overall I didn't enjoy myself though, I was mostly angry at the main characters and pitying their original partners.
