Fun & Bingeable but wide plot holes
9 May 2022
A fun romance set in Beijing China with well-played, though sometimes exaggerated and one-dimensional characters. A little trite in some areas and weird (from perhaps a western-cultural viewpoint) behaviorisms and portrayals of romance.

Still even with that said, I enjoyed the series. It's a bit reliant on flashbacks but that might've irritated me more due to binging it in such a short time. Additionally some of the plot may have gotten lost in auto-translate, as I was not able to watch it with official/professional subtitles (though many idioms were explained).

I enjoyed the boy pursues girl trope as well as the reluctant suitor / reversed reaction overlay and there were plenty of obstacles for them to conquer... all in all, I binged both seasons in two days.
