So I've pretty much binged the entire drama in two days. In overall, it is a pretty good drama and I like the chemistry between all the characters. Then again, I've always got a soft spot for Hu Yi Tian. He has been acting in quite a few dramas lately and his character in Go Go Squid actually made an impact. Acting as the female lead, we have Hu Bing Qing who performed pretty good in Legend of Dugu. I was really anticipating for this drama because I was curious as to how to act alongside each other.

The reason why I rated 8.0 for this is because the leads have great chemistry. I especially liked Ming Rui, Huai Nan's best friend in this drama. However, the story can be a bit of a drag in between. You go with Luo Zhi approaching Huai Nan and finally getting his attention. Then you have misunderstandings in between that would make them both drift apart. Afterwards, Huai Nan starts chasing after Luo Zhi and they finally got together in the end. This entire process took up 30+ episodes.

I know this is an adaptation of the novel but since the 2019 drama already had adapted from the same novel, you would think the 2021 one has some difference. Similar to the 2019 one, the ending was quite disappointing. They both separated and went on with their lives to progress in their respective careers (Huai Nan to regain his stance) and then bam, Huai Nan reappears in Luo Zhi's life. Then what? Probably it's just me, but I was hoping there is more built up to the ending. they can probably cut down a few episodes of "you-chasing-me-me-chasing-you" in between and put a bit more emphasis on the ending.

Overall, I would say this drama is quite binge-worthy. It's just a bit abrupt in the end when you're already finally attached to the idea of them being a couple then they break up again and you have a really vague reconciliation.
