Long winded

First of all let me just say the series started with a promising plot that was rarely predictable. however as you go along you would find that some episodes could be taken out of the entire series and it would not change a thing. There were moments when the conflicts that the characters face felt a bit forced as though it was obviously made just to prolong the series. This seriously could have been 16 episodes and it would still be good. Acting was good though.

I'm currently on Episode 44 and I just wanna quit this all together. The female lead is such a weak-ass character that I find myself rooting for the rival and any other antagonist there is. The writers really took time in dumbing her down and making it hard to root for her.

Oh and just a spoiler: the sister of the female lead is a b*tch and I totally blame her for everything. This would have been a shorter series if she was honest with her sister even for a bit. I really can’t stand that character and that whiny R&D man-b*tch as well. Drove me nuts the whole time. The mother of the male lead was super annoying too,

My favorite character was Gao- the best friend, and I would’ve loved it even more if he had more screentime. That guy is a champ!

A bit idiotic

SPOILER

I’m on episode 11 now. I just find it a bit idiotic that intruders can just come and go in their house and steal important things that stir the plot. And it happened twice.

I hate dramas that make the main characters super dumb. Like if these are real people, they wouldn’t survive a day living. Sometimes because of characters being stupid, you would root for the villains because it’s just so easy.

Good thing this is a short drama and the conflicts are quickly resolved. Otherwise, you would chuck your remote across the TV for being excruciatingly brainless.

Actors are great though. They did what they can given the material.

Has become lazy and excruciatingly stupid

I tried writing another comment yesterday but for some reason did not appear so I’m back. I need to vent out my frustration in this drama. Minor spoilers ahead.

First of all, let me just say that the kids are now carrying this drama on their backs. They are the only reason now why this can still be enjoyed somewhat. I used to rate this drama an 8.5 to 9 until episode 17 then it all went downhill. I now rate this a 4 at best. 3 for each of the kids and 1 for Dan Dan’s hardworking dad. The rest can just go to hell now.

The writer is just throwing cliches now which makes me think she ran out of creative juices. This whole amnesia subplot could’ve lasted a good 3 episodes which should have led to the Chairman realizing how strong his feelings really are for Dan Dan but it just dragged on unnecessarily. I am also inclined to think that the writer thinks her audience is stupid and will just take whatever the crap she puts in. The antics of the bad characters have been accompanied with quirky background music as though we are supposed to take it as something funny but it’s just wrong in all accounts. I need to see those women get severely punished in the end of this would’ve been just a total waste of time.

The rest of the characters have also been lazily written now and have been made excruciatingly stupid and naive.

To make it worse, the writer just had to put in that dance break on episode 23 which coupled with this overused amnesia plot just makes it all the more stupid.
