Rivals to lovers trope has been done so many times already, but I gotta say this one takes all the awards. The main characters are really in tune with their own emotions and know how to express them. They also know how to communicate with each other, which is a BIG deal for romance stories. There's not even a gram of miscommunication. We don't have to go through the old "oh, I thought you did this, so I did that".
The family conflict was so well done, the architects vs engineers conflict not as much. The amount of violence those two factions inflicted upon each other was just a bit too much. That part felt so weird. Irl that type of behaviour would not only end up with serious consequences at the uni, but also some criminal charges. But I guess that's just for setting the scene with "oh, they really hate each other". To me it was too much.
Apart from the main couple, I really enjoyed all the side characters and their plots as well. Pat's sister is just the best, she's so lovely. I'm also glad we got Wai's character development.
Overall a very pleasant watch.
