I don't blame it necessarily on the acting, but oh well. Still, I don't know, but I cared even less for him, I felt detached. Wu Si Qi on the other hand, was the shy, young and inexperienced guy. Yan Zhao Gang was a good guy, with good intentions and he mostly had some great things to say, the type of guy you go for advice, I like the actor playing him, and I don't think he's bad. There wasn't enough substance, I don't know how to put it better. The second couple can be a big hit, or a big miss, sometimes they even steal the spotlight from the main couple, and this time I have to say they were cute and all, but I unfortunately didn't really care for them. They had a lot of cliche moments, but I didn't mind it at all.
So, in conclusion, they do have chemistry, a lot in my eyes, I liked to see how Shi Lei fell for JYZ little by little, how he had an "oh shit" moment, realizing he was caring a lot for him, and how Jin Yu Zhen reciprocated his feelings and cared for him just as much.
Honorable mention to Shi Lei "coming out" to his mom, that scene was beautiful, and necessary. Hank is a newbie as far as I know, and he did good, I like his acting. Shi Lei is not only someone with that bright, beautiful, dimply smile, I like how he had a personality and how he wasn't afraid to stand his ground no matter what. Honorable mention to the last episode, I felt his desperation all the way through the screen. I do think Aaron Lai nailed it, especially when we saw the transition of JYZ opening up little by little, showing his true colors. Jin Yu Zhen is a complicated character, with unresolved and complex feelings, your seemingly stoic, heartless, asshole kind of character right there. They have different vibes, and I think they fit perfectly in what was presented, but the real question is, what about the often mentioned chemistry? Looks are not enough to measure weather there's chemistry between a pair or not. The first time I saw anything about this series, what called my attention was how attractive both main leads were. Still, I have to say that I absolutely love the concept of "The Little Prince" involved in this story, and how he falls in love and ends up with the fox. It was actually frustrating, and when I thought things were about to pick up, it slowed down completely. I love a slow burn romance, the whole enemies-to-lovers trope, but watching this show week by week was actually painful, and not in a 'oh my God, what happens next?' kind of way. Regarding the story there were some plot holes here and there, and I feel like the running time of each episode was poorly used in many occasions, some added things felt unnecessary to the plot as a whole, and some things could've been explained in a better way. This is my very first review, so please bare with me.
