Bad story, bad acting, bad directing, but there’s a little kissing!

It’s unbelievable that any of the traits either of the main CP have would be attractive or healthy to another person. One petty and bratty, the other possessive, obsessive, and uncommunicative. Unless there’s something I’m missing about normal human behavior of China-Chinese men, nothing either of them do or say reads as normal to me as a 外國Chinese person.
The whole relationship turns out to be a hallucination/dream the main character has while working on some script (either for TV or film). I think there’s a concerning way to interpret this movie as being gay as a mental illness since he has to be on meds to stop imagining having a male lover.
He then kicks out someone who is in his dream as a LaLa who turns out to maybe be his wife in real life, and then he proceeds to be maybe single for the rest of the movie? The ending is unsatisfactorily rushed when it could have been interesting to explore how he could translate what he’d learn in his dream into real life action to be open with his desires and find someone he truly loves even with all the potential restrictions of why he had to live in fantasy dreams before.
One of my biggest complaints of China-made shows/films is the bad syncing and audio mixing of the voices. And this show is no exception.
Can we talk about the green splash effect as the secondary CP transport from one place to another?! This film was made in 2016! But it honestly couldn’t make the scenes with the secondary CP worse because the acting was already so bad.
I think every Chinese show about a queer relationship/person is worth watching because it’s such a limited selection. But this is not worth rewatching except to show other people a masterclass in how bad a movie can be.
