Good humor and mystery-ish slash uncovering corruption type beat

I enjoyed this,
- good comedic elements (especially in the beginning)
- they know shes a girl. Theres no hidden identity which i thought was interesting
- wasnt that deep, esp in the beginning + easy lead up to the main thing to uncover
- easy to like the leads, (actions made sense)
- i like lusi and the guy, but mainly was interested bcs of lusi
- interesting side characters
(but i didnt really pay that muhc attention to the second couple i just knew it was happening) the side characters im refering too are mostly like the love rivals, most were bearable even fun if not fun at least interesting-ish and you understand her. The other one well, thats the main villain so like thats where the story come from so... but ill have spoilers of how i wished his character went at the very bottom. Also there was like these two guys that always fought but were more like frenemmies. i didnt really pay attention to them esp not in the beginning, but i really did like their dynamic later, kinda cute. I started paying attention after one of them had their wedding and the other came and everyone thought they were gonna fight each other.

Overall though it was a fun watch. Granted i did “drop” this a few times but thats just because it was still airing so i wasnt in a rush to get to a state where i really wanted to know whatll happen next, and also was not in the mood for uncovering corruption n schemes etc. but then it really did pick up, so much so that im writting this right after the last eps came out. with that said i think this show did those schemeing/ unraveling okay. Like smaller things were resolved along the way in a satisfying way, leaving certain bits not solved to let it continue. They way the characters solved it at first was like a twist but then after just felt lowkey repetitive to the extent that you know how they will solve it (but i dont really mean that in a bad way, but bcs of that i rate the story only 8.5) its to the extent that if they were in present times i would think that these characters rather than being teachers would be actors lmao?

The acting was good. You really hate the people ur supposed to. (Well maybe dislike, the show wasnt that deep to hate anyone imo, but theyre acting still ??) you get annoyed at the people ur supposed to and you enjoy watching the rest. Again there were funny moments, esp in the beginning, maybe they were more than just momenta but i kinda forgot.

The music was ok, i also didnt pay attention to it idk just didnt grab my attention, but it was not distracting which means it was good choice. Also its just preference.


SPOILERS ON HOW I WISH IT ENDED WITH ZHOU WEN YUAN (wait is that this name, the zhou guy, the friend)
i wish the writers gave him more pain. Like more regret for the things he did... kinda like when he found out he was partly responsible for sang yu (unintentionally so) and was heart broken. Maybe if they had even just one clip of sang yu being nice to him, something small but very memorable to him. But even with what they showed i thought that was intresting cause it showed that he wasnt like bad by nature. I think the writers made him that way bcs they wanted the charcter that way which is fine, but like i thought it would be intresting if it showed him more being pushed into it by his aunt, and lowkey reluctant and following only bcs his aunt was the only like backing he had and he was a little lost, but then slowly got too into it bcs he was in too deep n like no going back. (I think they kinda showed her pushyness on him the whole time and him holding sang qi as his last moral line kinda thing). Then his like ending wouldve been more like hard hitting bcs we lowkey felt bad for him too. maybe even that lusi liked him a little when they were small but then stopped as they grew up, so then her telling him he changed had more impact bcs she did like the older version of him at some point, then maybe he could find out only after sang qi was dying n felt mad regret. But thats just my opinion.
