It starts like a BL and ends like a gay movie.

The series starts like Beloved Enemy (just on a low budget) but then it turns into heartbreaking story about love that has no place to be and then it takes turn for a little forced happy ending.

Not sure what I expected getting into it. Definitely not this terrible sound (though this may be the fault of the copy I was watching) and maybe a tiny bit better acting. Only after watching it I realised it's from 2020, while watching it, it felt like early 2000s...

Was this the best thing I have ever watched?
Nope.
Will I watch it again? Nope, unles I need it.
But I appreciate that they decided to put this project together. And that they wanted to tell the story. And what a story it is.

It starts with doubtful boss-coworker relationship that we saw few times before and - to be honest - it never feels realistic. For an episode or two, it's just as stereotypical as it can get - to the point, one of the people in the company wrote a story about boss-coworker relation.

But then, suddenly, it gains this very personal, very vulnerable angle, when whatever is happening between leads, is being set in the harsh reality.
And from the scene that looks as taken out from S.C.I. (getting ex girlfriend to believe they ade dating) we dive deep in scenes at home, where Mother Ding meets Ying and drinks with him, only to accept him as her son. Or the heaetwarming scene when the leads try to decide how to help 'their' mother. Up to the moment mother pleads with Ding to leave this wretched relationship.

Overall, it feels like someone had a personal story to tell, needed some plot to set it in and this is how, the further you go, the better it gets. Plot wise at least, acting has it's moments but it's not the strong side.

Did I enjoy it? I did. In a very strange way, not expecting anything and being surprised with the results.

Should you watch it? I don't know, only if you don't mind the sound on the wind in the microphone.
