Just perfect!

Warm, light, modern, happy, funny and heart-felt dramedy (drama-comedy) series. My happy pill! Just perfect! I can't get enough of this show. I wish it was a longer series. I wish there would be season 2....
Perfect show! Excellent actors, good casting, very good story and direction!
Love Shen Yue and CZY together! They are so adorable and look good and lovable together! Watching from Dubai UAE ??. Pretty Shen Yue. I love her! CZY is perfect for Shen Yue! More shows for these two.
New fan here of Shen Yue from Dubai, UAE

Cute Rom/Com

Hi,

This is an easy to watch Rom/Com; that doesn't pull at your heartstrings too much.

Storyline was entertaining.
Acting was good! I enjoyed every scene and I think the cast worked well to make the scenes feel like a slice of life
I think main couple looked good on set. Although I would like Shen Yue to work on her kissing. She's been in the industry for some time now, she needs to feel more confident in her kissing scenes. Overall actors were believable.

Last words; this is a light rom com with charming actors.

If you are looking for a cutesy modern cdrama.......

Then this is a very good drama to start with.

Focusing on the FL's innocent singleness, and her fan girl admiration with a young popular author, after making an unintentional wish about having her own 'unforgettable love', the ML in Ming Dynasty attire, enters her world ( this is where
I thought he could fit into a Wuxia style drama prequel).

There is an innocent tension between the main leads throughout the story, until the ML 'realises' his feelings toward the FL. The ML character is delivered spot on by CZY, adding realistic credibility and depth to a character that not only believes he has time travelled into the future (modern China), adapts to his 'new reality' only to realise that he is just.....( That's a spoiler I can't reveal...).
What did throw me back was the ML's sudden displays of more aggressive interactions and 'rough handling' of the FL ( on one occasion, he grabbed her by the arm to turn to him, when he tried to avoid her he 'jokingly' threatened to 'remove her head'( I'm typing this politely!) then in another he almost picks up and moves her to the side to be in front of him - women are NOT dolls to be grabbed, threatened, toyed with nor moved around! Again, maybe this is how the screenwriters wrote the character, but I was also surprised by the FL's 'non-reaction' and not displaying clear disapproval, resistance or at least discomfort ! The FL is still not weak, but I didn't understand why, even if she was in love with the ML, acknowledge this rough treatment!

*** I get it is a drama, acting, but a lot of not so healthy, confusing messages are pumped into society from entertainment ****

Aside from this observation, this is a surprisingly good drama to watch where all actors deliver their roles well, even if they are a second, third or even cameo role. I also liked how the overall tone and vibe of the drama is innocent, light hearted, yet held together with a sprinkling of wuxia fantasy and down to earth realism.

My favorite drama ever

I love this drama, I recommend it so much, love the chemistry between the characters, I also love the storyline very unique. I LOVE SHEN YUE ?????

I normally cannot finish any K/J/C dramas since I'm very impatient person. so I'm very proud that I finished thus for just 1 day and without watching in 2x speed

?????

I love how the ML didn't act dumb like other dramas and he's very smart, and I love how the FL is so cute, shen yue really portrait her very well
I really love the sweet moments together
?????

I love the OST where SY & CzY sung, my fave OST too hehe

Fun and intriguing... for me its all about CZY

I came here immediately after watching Hidden Love, so you can say I watched this for CZY!

It was a good watch, the storyline was intriguing, there were lots of interesting little twists and turns which made it unique and different. I do think it was a tad confusing especially at the end, and I am not sure if I feel satisfied or not with the ending.

I will say that for me, it is all about CZY, he made me smile and giggle the most, his acting is so stellar and I loved seeing him as a playful and mischievous character.

Personally I will say that as a couple I didn't find a lot of chemistry between SY and CZY, it was natural and fun but not a sparkling and sizzling chemistry that grabbed my attention and pulled my heart strings.

I probably won't rewatch the whole drama again but it was sweet and I will look up my favorite clips.

If you're looking for a rom-com that is fun and cute, without annoying second leads and misunderstandings, then I absolutely recommend this. Watching this made me laugh out loud many times and never stressed me out, although I did feel a bit bored in the middle.

Shen Yue is really charming as Nan Xing; she manages to make some cringey moments funny instead of unbearable to watch. The drama's premise is that Xiao Wu Di is a character that Nan Xing created who comes to life, and I loved the way that this drama resolves this in the last 3-4 episodes. I felt so moved by the back story, and the way that Nan Xing's trauma and guilt were addressed. It really exceeded my expectations. I also appreciated that Nan Xing doesn't have a crush on her boss, a writer who she's a big fan of. As for Chen Zhe Yuan, he was fine here but I didn't find him particularly memorable. (I loved his previous drama Our Secret though.)

The reason for my lower rating is that I found myself bored in the middle of the drama and had to force myself to continue. Obviously, I'm glad I did because I loved those episodes at the end. Part of my boredom was due to the second leads' relationship feeling very lukewarm, and Lu Zi Chen taking too long to get his act together. Him asking Nan Xing for help was supposed to be funny but it just made me feel like he was way too immature. I loved Ye Qing though! So intelligent and graceful.

Sprinkled with moments of brilliance and a few hiccups

The "Mr. Bad" party starts with the sweet banter and fluff equivalent to a marshmallow pillow fight. Shen Yue maintains her queenly status, though I wish for a bit more emotion. Cue Chen Zheyuan, the scene's MVP, tossing charm around like confetti. The basic fantasy plot waltzes in, showing promise before Mao Xiaojun's surprise twist.

No love triangles in sight - a reason to pop the confetti cannon! The "real" ending wraps things up with a bow, and let's not forget, the cast looks like they walked out of a magazine cover shoot.

? The Okay-ish ?

Comedy and main romance take us on a rollercoaster. Chemistry feels more like friends than partners. The second leads, in their misfit charm, started as the quirky side dish to the main course but eventually felt like guests who lingered long after the party was over, leaving viewers checking the clock and wondering if it was time for them to make their exit.. Magic powers needed an extra sprinkle of spark. The workplace scenes, a game of hide and seek with believability, often left me questioning whether they were witnessing a fantasy romance or a corporate comedy, creating a slightly jarring contrast in the overall narrative tone.

? The Hiccups ?

As the drama approached its final episodes, it felt like the DJ had run out of energetic beats, leaving the party in a mellow lull. Yet, even in its subdued finale, the lingering echoes of the vibrant soirée kept the nostalgia alive for those who had danced through the drama's lively moments.

? The Plot Twist & Champagne Pops ?

Unexpected twists added a dash of intrigue. While Shen Yue's introduction promised a fireworks display, the fizzling into awkwardness left some me craving a smoother blend of her initial fierceness. Chen Zheyuan's swoon-worthy moments, acting as the reliable anchor, navigated through choppy waters, occasionally encountering stormy patches that tested the ship's romantic voyage.

? The Grand Finale ?

If cute banter, enchanting faces, and a sprinkle of magic are your jam, "Mr. Bad" this is for you. Buckle up for a rollercoaster with more loops than a pretzel, and maybe take a nap during the last few turns. It's a romance fiesta you won't want to miss! ???

Good but couldve been better

The story was quite interesting at first but then it got a bit boring. The ending was not too bad but its kinda sad that in the end xiao wudi became mao xiao jun??? Im not too sure about it but thats what i think i know about the show. Overall it isn't that bad of a show, I dont think its over or underrated but it definitely could've been better. Like i dont think the show is very meaningful anymore cuz im pretty sure the entire show was just what nan xings book was about so the things that happened werent actually real in the show...

50-50

A girl who completed someone her close one's incomplete story .The story's character became real and came to her life .that person didn't know that he was not real ,someone made him. When he came to know about this he was devastated then slowly slowly he became normal and accepted the writer's feeling who created him and with the God blessing he remained areal person and at the end both of them have a happy life . So basically It was based on many old written stories which were based on a writer who wrote a drama and drama 's character became real.
I like female lead that's why I decided to watch this drama.

OK - nothing more, nothing less

OK, but not great. Not very memorable, to be frank.

I did use the skip forward, and I did consider abandoning, but ended up watching all episodes.

It did have some funny moments, but looking back at it I can't really say it left me with much of any emotions or impressions.

FL is sweet, but the ML didn't fully convince me.

Cute and fluffy romance story

Long story short: A fictional character written by female lead came to life and they fell in love.

I have always been a fan of Shen Yue's romcom drama. Her chemistry with co-actor was always great and ofcourse with Chen Zhe Yuan was no doubt too. Watching this show is like watching a cute teenage romance drama. Plot was nothing out of the world or anything that will draw you in more, everything was pretty predictable and i liked that although it was a pretty straightforward show, there isn't any draggyness. Acting by both was decent as well.

Overall, i would recommend if u are looking for something lighthearted, cute and good visuals.
