Both ML are AWFUL! Can't believe people think this Romantic.

I was hoping she would turn lesbian and just go with A Nan. I loved her character she was strong, loyal and smart. For some reason the show introduced this mean girl who hated Xia Mo in college and that hate was NEVER explained!

Then she turns up 14 eps later, still jealous, hell bent on destroying her career. She's found out by Ouchen's "Friend" who is supposed to be the comic relief but he never once tells Ouchen nor Xiamo about this evil girl's plots and plans. The only saving grace is he at least "foils" this girl's mechanations. But she's never found out or is confronted by Xiamo.

I tapped out at Ep 3. I just couldn't take the 2 MLs abusive behavior. Then I started at ep 9 and they never got better. Ouchen was still controlling her even though he lost his memory. And Lou XI ONLY came back because he was angry and wanted revenge on both of them. Even though he was a huge star.

We eventually find out Lou Xi was abandoned as a child, but so freaking what? I understand childhood trauma and all that, but that doesn't give you a free pass to be an lying, controlling, toxic Ahole to everyone around you for the rest of your life. Ouchen's vile behavior is NEVER explained. I guess we're supposed to just go, "well, gee he's rich" so it's fine.

I did watch the final 2 eps and thought killing the brother was utterly pointless and seemed done just to give all the bad guys their moment of regret for treating the FL so poorly the rest of the series. Their "redemption" weren't earned and she instantly forgave everyone who spent all the previous eps mistreating and bullying her. All the actresses who abused and bullied her, the 2 male love interests, etc. It was all instantly forgiven and everyone came together to help her overcome her grief.

I love it when bad people redeem themselves and shows end on a happy note, but I just want them to earn it. At the very least apologize and even if they apologize I think people need to face consequences, otherwise that apology rings hollow.
