Plot: The plot is actually good but the execution and some lines can be less appealing. The selective amnesia wasn’t really the focus of the drama but it’s about the aftermath of their story, creating a new foundation of their ‘forgotten/lost’ love and growth of their relationship along with their targets in life. It was also sprinkled with loads of sugar and humor.

Acting: They all did good, convincing most of the time but definitely not top tier acting. Xing Fei’s Tang Xin character is my least favorite of hers in all her dramas, however, that doesn’t mean she didn’t do justice in it. She actually did great in interpreting a meek girl with low self confidence/esteem(but not to the point of being a doormat) that you can actually tell the difference of her acting from her previous dramas. However, I believe that Hu yitian shines the most in this drama. His acting improved a lot and you can see a lot of unseen or new facial expressions of him, especially the playful and boyish charm side of his character that looked natural and real. You won’t be able to count how many times he genuinely smiled here because there’s a lot! His eyes also speak volumes. The rest of the team did all good as well, even the villains.

Music: No complaints. I love every song and even the sound effects.

Rewatch value: I definitely rewatched all the sweet moments, even the tantrums of Captain Shen because it’s just too cute. Some may be cheesy but the execution and acting was really funny, I just can’t take it seriously. ? Especially those laugh out loud moments of Haiya Team(including DLF, of course).

Things I didn’t like:
•Some dialogues are just cringe-y and embarrassing, you’ll know when you watch it but it’s not the fault of the actors. They did their best, especially Xing Fei. Despite many embarrassing lines, you just can’t help but adore her cuteness! I just wanna pinch her cheeks most of the time. ☺️
•The sudden stuttering — I wish they could have done better in highlighting the root of the problem because it took a few episodes for that to get over with and the explanation wasn’t convincing enough for me.
•Dubbing. There were some scenes that their dubbing sounds weird and unpleasant that ruined the overall feeling of the scene or conversation. Even the sound of the steps were distracting. ? (I can be very particular with that but I guess external noise can’t be controlled)

Overall: It’s definitely not a perfect drama, or even close to being a masterpiece, however, it was entertaining for me and has a lot of meaningful foreshadowing and underlying message. Although they didn’t go deep to the topic of trauma, sexual harassment, and gender equality, the fact that they raised awareness and touched the sensitive matters of society is a plus for me. It was also a good introduction on the importance of mental health and basic information about pistol shooting and the game.
Basically, this drama shows a new meaning to ‘soul mates through thick & thin’ and gives that warm fuzzy feeling of Pure Love. Executed in a conservative way because the entire drama was a tease. Haha! Here’s a reminder: Don’t expect too much intimate scenes and you’ll enjoy their love story. In the cdrama world full of kissing scenes, this will probably be not included on top of your list but it was also a reality slap to me that not all love can be measured by the amount of skinship they show you but rather by expressing it with actions and deep understanding of your partner.

Additional message/favorites: Apart from other issues of the side characters, the irony of a psychiatrist having her own problem is actually a good idea. It was realistic and it signifies that we are just normal human beings, despite our status, professionalism, age and environment, we have our own struggles and issues in life and the things we can initially offer to others are patience and understanding, same goes when it comes to watching the drama. The pace of revealing both of their pasts is quite realistic as well, I mean, if I were in tang xin’s shoes I wouldn’t also expose everything in an instant especially if it caused a traumatic experience for me. However, the power of being able to tell everything to someone you trust and still respects and loves you is a big step in healing. It’s like getting out a thorn in your heart and you can finally breathe easily. I also like how the recovery of Captain Shen’s memory doesn’t feel rushed, it needed therapy and triggers. Plus, I totally love the ending. It was a beautiful ending for Captain Shen/Tang Xin and Dr. Ding/Boss Zhou. Their lines were subtle, warm and precious. I can’t fully explain how beautiful it was but it was like a much-needed hug that can give you energy to tackle the day. Or that first sip of your favorite hot coffee in the morning. That’s how this drama made me feel.
