The headline says it all. That’s my gripe with this special, it took away the limelight from the main story (which I love). The history of Zeetong and Yu Zhen should have been interspersed in the main story, that way viewers can understand Yu Zhen’s past heartbreak and fear of loving without taking away the euphoria of finally seeing Yu Zhen risking his heart to the lovable Shi Lei... Almost the whole episode is about the failed romance of Zee Tong and Yu Zhen’s, but their chemistry sizzled in this one episode. Thus, the warm and safe haven that Shi Lei represents somewhat challenges the viewers to ask, which one would you prefer to have? I hope to see another special solely on Yu Zhen and Shi Lei (with Shi Lei’s mom included?) just to replace the sour taste in my mouth left after this special.
PS. It did not help that the two main actors (but not as Yu Zhen and Shi Lei) are guests in the Plus and Minus series on the verge of divorce! Really people behind this production, why are you besmirching the image of this pair?
