High hopes because of the rating but disappointed

Pros：
Main leads acting was fantastic, like everyone saying they have great chemistry, I would say that they have lovely expressions and acting. The other actors are so-so. I feel something is amiss. Good but not great.

Cons:
Storyline is plain. I’m not sure why so many think that it is great. I get that most things go well for the main leads but so many details in the script gets dropped or do not connect well at all. I am left wondering why this thing happened or why they suddenly end up in back in the school after their holiday. It could have been written more clearly and transited better. For example Xiaoman suddenly hurts her leg and we don’t know why, only to be explained later by her. Just felt they could have added a scene where she fell instead of having her explain it, in a round about manner too.
Script flow is my biggest pet peeve. Many times I found myself wondering why something happened or and have to tell myself that it is a script. Plus some things the characters do is not realistic or convincing. Add on to the one dimensionality of the characters, it falls flat.

Not the biggest issue and I can tolerate it is that the directing is so so, does anyone find the filter or camera angles kind of flat?

I find it hard to finish this and will have to drop it, instead of wasting my time on the next 10 episodes.
