This donghua has quite the interesting setting. It's set in a modern or near future setting, and focuses on many psychological and societal issues that are now part of our lives because of what our world has become. The plot revolves around a low self-esteem, "ugly" young women who is bullied and judge because of her looks. She is depressed, in a self-destructive relationship and even turns to self harm as a way of coping. Eventually she overhears of some truths she has been intentionally convincing herself is not true, and so turns to plastic surgery to try to start life anew. Unfortunately, there is no reset button or new game option, as the past can never truly be washed away. Through this experience she grows as a person, finds that she is not as alone as she thought, and finally embraces both her past, mistakes and takes a step forward without being controlled by the opinion of others.
This donghua was very enjoyable. It really targets many issues that stem from modern technology, modern society (like social media), bullying, and depression. It even touches on corruption and manipulation of public opinion by the powerful (or rich). This show is a great critique of our current modern society and what is wrong with it.
The show itself presents a good message for us: we should know the sanctity of life, and no matter how hard it is, we can work past it and grow as a person. (Also, we should not be overly conscious of others' opinions).
