"Summer's desire" is this Summer's guilty pleasure. There is so many things wrong with everyone in this drama, but I am obsessively watching it on viikii as soon as episodes appear; I also can't stop thinking about the characters, so may be the drama is not all just guilty pleasure:
The cap below is, in my opinion, something that describes the whole drama in one shot: Luo Xi is obsessed with Xia Mo, to a very unhealthy degree, but she is in love with someone else (Ou Chen), only she thinks she is not because she has huge scars from her childhood and she is afraid of commitment.
It doesn't help that Ou Chen is a spoiled rich man (whose upbringing included him shooting at various people with arrows , and no-one ever stopped him from doing so) who has got used to getting everything just the way he wants, even when he end up damaging his own relationships. I think Ou Chen is not beyond repair because although he has fits of "you belong to me" rage, he is also shown as someone who can be a giving (and even easy to manipulate) person, so far it has been as if he is saying one thing and doing another. But we will see.
Luo Xi is clearly a basket case, though. He speaks about death and suicide as easy as you and I speak about having a cup of tea and tells these kind of things to his girlfriend : "You are a poison to me..." . I wouldn't have minded if he said something like once or twice, but these are almost the only things he tells her. Theirs is a weird relationship, it has no "normal" couple interaction at all. They either kiss (in a very hot way) or he tells her she is poison.
( Luo Xi and Xia Mo do have some very hot and weird kisses, though. )
