This is a pretty regular rivals to lovers type of story. What sets it apart from others is the excellent acting from the main actors. Damn, did I feel that tension and every emotion from both main characters.
I always love the "you're my rival, why can't I stop thinking about you" type of realisation. It is so well done here.
I love how gentle Gao Shi De is. The way he shows affection is just beautiful. Zhou Shu Yi stubbornness really makes it stand out too.
I also really liked the progression of the story. How we could clearly see Zhou Shu Yi's reluctance melt away.
Once again - the actors made the story. Their delivery and chemistry was off the charts.
