I would probably have given it an 8-9 if it were just the first three episodes. The romantic relationship between two East Asian women, Tingting and Yi-min, is portrayed in a very delicate and subtle way, which is quite typical of the context. The relationship between the two was at the border when they were at high school and when Tingting tried to cross over, she was hit hard. It's not Yi-min but the social values that hurts her and stops her. In this way I don't think Ting is approaching Yi-min solely because of a resurgence of old feelings, but also in large part because from her perspective the relationship has not been acknowledged and therefore has not yet ended, and she is waiting to draw an end to it.
The marital conflict shown in the last few episodes quite destroyed the whole experience, so I lowered the score to a 7.
