• TOO LONG & MESSY FLOW OF THE STORY
(They added so many scenes that felt so "unnecessary" and "draggy.” To be honest, they also tend to add scenes parallel from the other versions but the way they included them felt like as if those scenes were randomly placed/patched along the way just so they can say "hey, we all have these scenes!”, which in hindsight, basically loses its specialty.)

• DEPTH OF THE EMOTIONAL SCENES WERE LACKING AND NOT CONSISTENT AT ALL (The way they executed the “bittersweetness" and "two worlds apart" feels of the main leads’ star-crossed relationship/love story in this version were definitely lacking of angst & substance, and were kinda forced at some parts that I wasn't completely impressed and did not felt the impact of those scenes either!)

• It lost some important elements of the manga like if F4 were already responsible/role model students in this version then where will their "character growth & redemption arcs" take place??? Also, if they introduce them like ~that~ then, the next thing they're assholes...isn't it like back to square one???? It's confusing...

• The character sketch of Dao Ming Si 100% failed to give me the “more than meets the eye” element I’m searching for! What’s more to him? And how will the portrayer convince me to make his character provoking, interesting and endearing at the same time?

• I honestly did not see nor feel the "weed power" of the female lead here. The realistic but not over-the-top toughness in her personality is lacking.

• Acting is SO-SO. It wasn’t convincing enough.

• The friendship between Shancai and F4 in this version also felt like a two divide rather than as a whole.

• The wedding scene execution looks weird, confusing and above all, RUSHED!
(I really don’t understand the sense of Dao Ming Si’s sister suddenly popping out of nowhere to dance and then saying that it’s only F3 that she got to summon with her powers??? I was like “What is this very corny situation happening here?” Still can’t forget the second-hand embarrassment I got while watching that part! // I mean, where is the romantic, magical and sacred feeling of their marriage execution? The aisle walking happened so fast, there’s no exchanging of rings and no wedding vows!)
