Had potential but it was ruined

I'll start off this review by pointing out the good things about this drama, because the bad things are just endless.

I watched the Korean version of this drama a few years ago and from what I remember that version of the drama was much more dramatic and full of evil characters. This version had much less drama and only one villain so I praise the story writer for taking this route.

I also really liked the male lead in this version much better than the other versions' male leads. In this version he is much nicer and charming, he is never mean to the female lead and is very understanding in my opinion.

The family element of the drama, especially Xiyi's family, was a really nice touch and I loved watching the family scenes. I also really loved the casting of this drama and the chemistry that all the characters had, there was no forced or bad acting in my opinion.

Now on to the bad things....

I didn't actually dislike this drama when I first started it; I actually loved it! I like the route this version of the story took in regards to how they met and conceived the baby, it was much more believable than the other versions of this drama. The meeting of the two leads was interesting enough to keep me hooked on this drama for the first twenty episodes; I binged them all. The progression of their relationship from strangers to friends to lovers was very well paced in my opinion. The only thing I didn't like at the beginning was how Xiyi was deceiving his girlfriend. He really should have told her what was happening when he first found out Jiaxin was pregnant. Maybe if he would've told her, none of the problems that ruined the drama for me would have happened.

Once Anna came back and found out about what was happening, all hell broke lose and she did terrible things. Personally, I kind of understand Anna for being upset and acting the way she did, but at the same time I don't. She knew that Xiyi was going to propose to her, but she chose her career over him so you can't blame him for eventually giving up on her and falling in love with someone else. Still, he should not have lied to her the way he did and should have broken things off with her or at least told her about what he did. I will say that Anna's action of changing the divorce papers was uncalled for. At that point Xiyi had made it clear that he didn't want to be with her, so she should have let him go but instead she remained obsessed with him and refused to give up on him. And that led to many problems. After that and the miscarriage, everything went downhill.

And that leads to another thing I hated about this drama: Jianxin running away from problems and leaving everyone in the dark. I really hated that she did that because she even shut out people that had nothing to do with the pain she was going through. I understand her breaking contact with Xiyi, but it was so unnecessary for her to also push her best friend away. She literally disappeared off the face of earth and expected to just call Siqi one day and be forgiven. If I were Siqi I would have never forgiven her.

So after three years of running away from her problems, Jianxin finally meets Xiyi again and absolutely hates him. I get that she hated him for the marriage paper misunderstanding, but she should not have blamed him for her miscarriage. Throughout the last ten episodes she was selfish and acted as if them losing their child only affected her; she never listened to Xiyi nor considered his feelings. Literally never.

The last ten episodes were also full of the two leads going back and forth with each other. We would see the two slightly reconcile but then everything would end up bad when Xiyi would try to explain himself and solve their misunderstandings; Jiaxin would just shut him out and run away again. And this happened again and again and again for around TEN episodes. It was so frustrating to watch.

To make matters worse, we didn't even get to see them truly reconcile and solve things until the LAST episode. And it wasn't even in the first minutes of the last episode, but rather the last five minutes. They solved things at the airport (just as Jiaxin was about to run away again lol) and then BOOM they get married (for the 2nd time) and the drama ends. It's clear that the director and writer didn't even try to give this drama a proper ending.

So in all, this drama had a lot of potential, seeing as it solved the issues that the other versions of this drama had, like the evil characters and bad attitude of the male lead. But sadly, all its potential was ruined by the last ten episodes. Once Jiaxin ran away there was no saving this drama. At this point I just need the director and writer to apologize for ruining a potentially good drama and for wasting my time.
