Great start but turned to meh
If you ask me whether this drama is worth the watch, I'll say yes but stop at Ep 6 because the love between Xioasu and Zhenrong was the only thing that's really good in this drama. The chance encounter, the crushing on stage, the bittersweet parting was executed perfectly. You can maybe extend it up to Ep 10, to have a sense of letting go and expectation of a new love. To go on further will just be torture in boredom because there were only two or three touching scenes when they try to remember Zhenrong.
The synopsis was misleading. There was no one night stand shown in the drama, just a drunken girl who was so wasted that that Yuzheng judged her as 'not a good girl'. If there was in the novel then the ML is a real jerk for taking advantage of a drunk girl. Yuzheng did not forbid the couple's relationship but only warned Zhenrong about the possibility that Xiaosu may not be as good as she seemed. Yuzheng also did not love her from the start but only after Zhenrong's death. The premise of 'Will Xiaosu ever forget Zhenrong and accept Yuzheng's love?' which drew me in to watch this was so misleading. If only they stuck with that, this could have been a very different drama, probably a better one. Xiaosu was never that conflicted, she never closed herself off to love. During the brink of their new love, it was Yuzheng who backed off because of his business issues. The right question is 'Are Yuzheng's feelings strong enough to change his prejudice against love?'
The way the characters navigate their relationship are reactive, repetitive, and inconsistent. The reasons for breakups were weak and sometimes incomprehensible. I was particularly annoyed with the one CP, the money focused Siqi and the wishy washy Qin Fei, the FL's best friend and the ML's assistant. Then most of the episodes focused on the business problems of the ML.
It's really too bad because they've managed to setup this great love that will be hard to replace but forgot that is was supposed to be the main backbone of the drama. So my advice is save yourself the time and only watch the first 6 episodes.
