I can assure you all, the plot doesn’t get any thinner than this. The goal of this drama is let’s see how long we can make them fail at confessing. It’s quite unspectacular even for a romcom. Secondary couples were a waste of time. Wang Xing Yue’s emotionless character was too bland. Tian Xi Wei has better dramas. Their chemistry doesn’t spark. The drama went too far with the nerd stereotype.

But !!

At the right time, like the hectic holiday season, this was a comfortable watch. I also signed up just to see Tian Xi Wei. It’s pretty people with pretty songs in a pretty mindless drama. You get what you see. 

P.S. If the drama was going for exaggerated scenes (e.g. bicycle and kick), they should have committed and given us more. Those were fun.

Random Recommendation: Intense Love
