To start off, i came to this drama without reading the novel/ watching the web drama version. I came mainly for the leads, and the interesting storyline.

Story aside, I really loved the characters, especially Luo Zhi. She is very calm, and composed. However, she does have a temper and backbone. She is willing to stand up for what she feel is right / wrong., even so towards Huai Nan, whom she harbours feelings for. She is true to herself, and does not carry a façade, like most of the other characters in the show. She doesn't mind the fact that she's alone by doing so, but at least she stick to her morals and values. In most girl likeing the guy trope, it's almost always a cutesy character/damsel in distress kinda? But Luo Zhi proves to be independent and clear in what she truly wants. I liked how while she liked Huai Nan, she remained cool headed in their dealings. She clearly demands she won't be in a fling/some but will only want to know if they are official or not. She is sincere towards everyone, which at time may come across hostile/ insenstive, but she is really the most true being i guess not many can achieve in our current society?? While she secretly harbour a crush, it was heartbreaking to see it from the POV and the fact that she conceal it so well?

For Huai Nan, honestly i am not sure if i liked his character. While knowing Luo Zhi likes him, he did alot of so-called tests / push and pulls or sending wrong signals. He gives her hope, and let her down again and again, right til the end. I understand it's because of the limelight he is under and the influence of his reknown familial ties, but I wish he had been more true to himself, instead of hiding behind his inferiority complex. Much misunderstandings could have been avoided, if he had gone less with the tests/ felt less inferior.

The character i feel the most will be Bai Li. Her love life had never been smooth right til the end, and it was upset for her to question whether she is worthy of love because of unworthy men she met. I am glad she managed to find herself at the end. Honestly served Ge Bi right for missing out a lovely lady like her. I am so glad she did not return to him when he wanted a rebound.

Another character i really liked was Zhang Ming Rui. He was always there as a bridge, as a true friend towards Luo Zhi and Huai Nan. I wonder if he had feelings for Luo Zhi in the original novel? His concern and love for his friends is truly remarkable and he definitely earned my tears during the rooftop scene with Huai Nan and the other bunkmates.

Ending wise, i honestly was disappointed? After the countless misunderstandings, our lead couple finally stood together at the end, like around ep 34? But after barely having a few dates, Huai Nan just ghosts on Luo Zhi because of his family issues？Mind you this ghosting took 5 years, before he re-appear in front of Luo Zhi in an open ending. Honestly, i admire Luo Zhi for her unwavering love towards Huai Nan, but i actually hoped the author showed how Luo Zhi came to like Huai Nan this much? Because sometimes i feel Huai Nan seems to be unworthy of Luo Zhi though they belong together spiritually? To be brutally honest, if my bf ghosted me over his family or whatever issues i will feel very upset?? Because I will feel like I am not included in his plans/ future, and he does not trust me enough to face challenges together. Let alone expecting me to wait 5 years??

All in all, the unrealistic and rare romance we witness here i guess will only be visible in dramas? but still kudos to the actors and their acting. While it wasn't a truly satisfying watch, I will say the acting are on point :)
