Honestly, I don't see what is so good about this show.

Ha. This drama was such a major waste of time. I didn't like the characters, the plot was literally non existent and the whole drama was soooo dragged out.

Okay first, the characters. I don't get why so many people love this drama, but Situ Mo (FL) was so irritating that I wanted to DIE. Like, how can she just demand that Gu Wei Yi (ML) understand her when she doesn't even talk about her problems?? Does she think he can read her mind?? I dislike her character to the point that my only lasting impressions are of her whining, being mean to Gu Wei Yi and eating 螺蛳粉. Gu Wei Yi was fine, but aside from being the ML, I feel that you can take him out of the whole drama and replace him with a scarecrow and the plot still won't affected (save all his unnecessary lab scenes). And don't even get my started on Fu Pei. Oh my gosh. If there is a prize for the most annoying character ever, it would be Fu Pei. I didn't like his personality, I didn't like his story. His scenes were irrelevant and boring I found myself skipping all of them towards the end.

This brings me to the second issue: the plot. I felt like the plot is completely non-existent. I didn't even know where this show was going half the time. What were the aims of this drama? What purpose did each episode serve? I honestly have (present tense) no clue. The whole story was flat and thinking back, I have ZERO recollection of characters speaking in the drama. The first thing I think about is Situ Mo's whiny face. Urg. I read in a review that "Gu Wei Yi's arc at the end was completely unnecessary" (or something like that) and I had to pause and think, what arc?

Which leads to the third point: the dragged out plot. This drama definitely did not need 24 episodes and I suffered through the entire thing just PRAYING that there would be some sort of miraculous twist at the end that would save the drama. Nope. I have very very little recollection about this show as I actually watched it half a year ago (I think??) But I do remember having high expectations for it, expectations that this show did not live up to .

Okay, so maybe I'm a bit prejudiced towards this show because of how much I detest Situ Mo, and although I've flamed it so much, I don't hate this drama, I just uh... strongly dislike it. It's literally all fluff and no substance and honestly? Whenever I watch dramas now, I watch it with the assurance that can never surpass Put Your Head On My Shoulder.
