the beginning raised the bar too high for the ending to completely fall flat

My main problem with this drama was HIS EX. TERRIBLE timing to add his ex, should have cut all the slow burn filler and side couple scenes to allow more time for the main couple to develop. It was going so well from the beginning to when Shi Lei came out to his mother, there was finally some hope of the relationship progressing. But then the addition of the ex in literally like the last 2 episodes? was so unnecessary. They rushed to try and resolve yuzhens past and it fell EXTREMELY flat.

I loved yuzhens character and story and its such a shame they couldnt explore and resolve it in a timely manner. It would have been amazing to see the main couple work on it together (since they are a couple..) instead of yuzhen basically being forced to confess and then his ex being written off and a plot device to ultimately end in yuzhen confession to shi lei.

We had some nice scenes with the main couple in the last episode, though i was a bit upset about how yuzhen and his ex got so much screentime, but it couldnt get worse right???? this is why we have special episodes, to develop on the main couple after they confess their love right?????

the special episode was 90% scenes of yuzhen and his ex. i started to question whether this is a drama about yuzhen and shileis relationship or a drama about yuzhen himself. why on earth would i want to see him and his ex. the last few minutes of the special episode was dedicated to the main couple where they shared a singular kiss. nice ? (not to mention the kiss felt a bit awkward on shi leis part now that ive seen other reviews mention it)

I really enjoyed this drama up to about ep 8/9 and i would rewatch just those episodes. The acting was great and I love both yuzhen and shi leis characters and good chemistry together.

this drama had a lot of potential and built up my expectations just to deliver an extremely dissapointing and mediocre ending.
