In a lot of ways, this seems like the stereotypical Chinese drama. Supporting characters asking a lead if they like the other lead constantly, rich, annoying best friend character, one lead “stalking” the other when they should really get the point, et cetera. I will say though that I like Cong Rong, Wen Rang, and the little bit of Qin Chu that I saw because they all have some sense of appealing stubbornness to their characters.

I was excited to see Deng Yu Li in the series, who was fantastic in Somewhere Only We Know. Xing Fei definitely brought some Li Ting Ting/Xue Tong vibes too. It was just a shame that this series had too much of the elements I find irritating in Chinese dramas.
