Not your typical drama/idol drama but better plus it's a Romantic Comedy

STORY: Though it features 4 idol characters, it's not your typical idol drama. They're not searching for their talent but instead they're searching for their meaning of existence, after being held captive indoors by our villain, since they were kids, and encountering our two lovely female leads from the outside world. With the help of the female leads, the male leads began to open their eyes to the truth of themselves and to the world that's been hidden from them for so many years. The main plot overall went at a good pace with so many twists and turns as you progress through the drama.

I will say there are some missing details that should've been shown or the lack of screen time for those details in this drama. Spoilers if you haven't seen this yet.
* How Luo Ke & Su Lie were kidnapped as kids. What about their families? Are they searching for them? There should've been a reunion at some point. What about telling the truth to Xu Nian's mom that her son is still alive? I'm pretty sure she loved him so much since she was devastated that she was told by our villain that her baby was dead.
* The lack of screen time for our 3rd couple Su Lie & Lanlan and 4th couple Luo Ke & Qiqi. Their relationships should've developed a lot earlier, like maybe when they first experienced the outside world and not at the very last episode.
* This is just my personal preference but I would've liked it more if the 2nd to last episode, the evil man was taken down and leave the last episode focus on just our 4 couples. Instead, while a happy ending, still felt a bit rushed to me.

CHARACTERS: The main characters Lu Xiao, Ke Le, Xu Nian, & Qian Ya were all great to me. I enjoyed every moment of their screen time. Even the villains, who I normally hate instantly, I found very funny. Of course with villains, you can only go so far with the comedy in their character. They're bound to turn fully evil eventually. Unfortunately Luo Ke & Su Lie were very lackluster support characters for me. They were just there. They weren't useful, they complained a lot and I just felt like their characters weren't written well. Even the villains had a better personality than these two did. Potential was there Luo Ke & Su Lie, especially for growth but it didn't make the cut. Granny did shine for me as a support character in this drama. I loved her spunk attitude and always being one step ahead.

MUSIC: On point. Love every soundtrack that was played during the drama and for the ending credit. Music matched very well and was played often.

REWATCH: It's a great drama overall but with this kind of story, this is a one time watch for me, though I may come back to certain scenes from time to time just to see it again. I mean I just love our two couples and their scenes.
