Most improved + most worsened character = Mediocre

I started this because the trailer looked somewhat interesting. While the series is reasonably watchable, it is overall let down by poor story writing and character development.

Unlike other reviewers, I don't find the FL to be that bad. Yes she starts off as being a bit selfish and indecisive. When she was in her teens, that is totally excusable. Once she started making demands on the ML to get back together, these flaws become less acceptable. However, FL also demonstrates the most improvement in character across the series. By the end, she begins to understand the meaning of sacrifice and begins to stand up for her career and relationship goals. The mother is overbearing but that is by design obviously. Wang Churan is also especially good in the role. Her acting is very good for a relative newcomer. Coupled with her undeniable beauty and charisma, you can forigve her in the initial episodes until she becomes the one you want to root for. She also has more emotional material to work with - anger, disappointment, sadness, determination, etc.

In contrast, the ML went in the opposite direction. He starts out as the most sympathetic character - prosecuted by the FL's mother, heroic, self-sacrificing. But towards the end, his character showed near zero development and becomes especially annoying. This is of course a problem with the script writers. I intensely dislike poorly-motivated plot drama. Drama is of course good and necessary, but it has to be the result of understandable, realistic motivations. In the latter episodes, the drama is in the form of ML refusing to communicate with the FL on the crap that her mother put him through. All in the name of "not making the FL sad". This is complete BS. I know of no one who would refuse to share with their other half a simple account such as "your mother destroyed my career". Perhaps this is the typical stupid "strong silent toxic male" that perhaps the scriptwriters think is sexy. Yang Yang is of course the pretty veteran of Chinese TV. But his performances are always the same and his acting has seen marginal improvement since his early days. His roles always call for being the perfect stone-faced male (also the case in this show), because maybe that's about all he can emote. His fans can continue to swoon but it is boring.

In the end, the most interesting plot points are left to the side characters. The fireman who had the relationship with an older doctor but died for example. Overall, a mediocre show.
