Pros:
-CHEN BOLIN. PERIOD.
-The architectural biology they got going. Really fresh idea and I feel like the writers really went out their way to study about it.
-France! They really did so well shooting in france. The scenes looked so pretty I wish they didn’t have to move back to China. But oh well. (they also did a good job with the foreign actors)
-The actors portrayed being scientists really well, they don’t look awkward.
-Vivienne. LOL Against popular opinion, I think the writers did well in making her character consistently evil. And she’s so pretty

Cons:
-From where the writers did a good job in researching and writing about the scientific stuffs, they lacked in the general script. Sometimes the scripts didn’t even make sense. They were also not able to bring out the right emotions out of the scrip, it felt bland tbh.
-The characters were so inconsistent. Only Zhou and Vivienne’s characters were consistent. Well, if you add Gao Mu consistently being played around by everybody, I guess him too.
-The romance was terrible. It was so messed up it felt painful to watch. Only Zhou’s love for Nanen was real tbh. And sometimes the romance went against normal moral standards. I mean when Gao Mu pursued Nanen tight after he just made up with Zhou who went out his way to tell him they’re brothers and who was clearly going out with Nanen; I MEAN BRO’s CODE??? ANYBODY? That’s just messed up.

It was kinda sad because it could have been better with a storyline like that and the theme. It was fresh and really nice but the other scenes dragged it onnnnn. Maybe fewer episodes could have been better and maybe if they only focused on the romance of the main leads then it could have been more focused. Too much focus towards Zuma and Wu was tiring. The first conflict where they separated for a year was enough but the next after that was just plain stupid and immature. I don’t even want to say about Vivienne’s romance LOL. If you watched it, you know. But still I can forgive all this for Chen Bolin and his smiles and dimples. Hahahahaha

Would I recommend it? If you like Chen Bolin then yes. ?
Would I watch it again? NOPE. I’d rather find other Chen Bolin series to gawk at.
