Slow pacing. But the story between the leads keeps things interesting. (New Favorite)
Ep 1 to Ep 6: They ended ep 6 with a cliffhanger. Who exactly is she mad at? Is she mad at the Xin Bai or Jia Ye? They gave us 6 episode in a row and now we'll only get 2 daily. But it was smart of them to do that. People would not have been happy with the first two episodes, it takes time to build up pace & your patience is rewarded. You come to like the characters. Since I like stories with shapeshifters this is my cup of tea. The most idiotic thing so far was the scene when the Nan Xing turns into a guy & acts like a lunatic trying to burrow into everything trying to hide herself. It was like watching a rodent, I kept wondering what they were thinking! But I overlooked that part and decided to continue. So Nan Xing & Xin Bai get married in episode 6 & I guess we'll see their first separation in next episode because he lied to her & she really wasn't keen on getting married.Ep 7 to Ep 10: I was so over overuse of the trope where the leads knew each other as children, but I don't mind it being used here. Rather than being a cliche, it adds to their fate. When Xin Bai returned home, he was accosted by a older woman, which at first, I thought would be Nan Xing's mother, but it was his mother. So both leads have crazy mothers! Here's to hoping that they have a chance to meet and torture the leads together, that would be fun to watch! Okay we have another crazy woman who just so happens to be Xin Bai's sister, but so far it seems like she isn't the kind of crazy you like. I can't wait for the leads to meet yet again. Woah, they passed each other & Xin Bai facial blindness got in the way of him recognizing her. What's more, when he figured out that she had changed somehow, he still helped her get out without questions. I do wonder what kind of psychic powers she thinks the little guy had. Loved it.
Ep 11 to Ep 16: I think Yan Nan XIng needs to make up with Jiang Xin Bai now. He has made up for his past blunder & even seems to care for her. Finally glad that Tong Sai Er is here. I wondered why she has little to no screen time. In previous episodes, she was last seen dancing and that was about it. She is such a cutie that it gives me hope that Shan Bei Li isn't far gone. I wonder who's her brother though. For a moment there, Xin Bai was jealous of Shan Bei Li & even the guy who Nan Xing is looking for. We got to see some family shenanigans, I knew Xin Bai's mom was this crazy. It is good, she'll be able to handle Nan Xing's condition well & might also help out. Tong Saner & Shan Bei Li together are cuties, him telling her to look for her fiancé so that she doesn't have nowhere to go if Nan Xing business goes wrong due to Bei Li's & Suo Luo's interference. Xin Bai's being pretty gutsy with the request he has made of Nan Xing. Let's see how it goes.
Ep 17 & Ep 24: I did not expect Xin Bai's mother & sister to got to this extent to drive away Yan Nan Xing. What a waste of potential good mother-in-law. Suo Luo is such a brat that doesn't deserve to be in the position she is in. Instead of actually doing something for the people, all she cares about is how she can be better than her brother. A brother who did not even think of her as less than himself. I don't know what both mother & sister can do at this point to redeem themselves as decent human beings. I like the way Nan Xing treated Tong Saner & Liu Ruo Qian, caring for them more than a normal boss would for an employee. Oh that was gold, his mother finding Yan Nan Xing in his closet but out steps a he. She is gonna go crazy. I loved how she just couldn't speak when the guy was mentioned and she decided okay Nan Xing isn't that bad. She is the perfect wife for Xin Bai.
Ep 25 to Ep 34: So we have come to the second wedding and this time around they are more sure about their feelings for each other. Xin Bai at least has figured out that Nan Xing is the girl he met as a child, he should have told her right away. But since he didn't I have a bad feeling. I love Tong Saner, she is kinda insane and I adore her. Her wanting to take Bei Li as sworn brother was so hilarious. I am still not a fan of Suo Luo, she is a liability. So, how come they separate right after their weddings! Jiang Xin Bai has got no chill. He is on a mission and he is gone. To think about it, you can't always take your wife to work so it makes sense that he went away for work. It makes me think that we are going to get news of him dying there. Nan Xing is gonna be so sad about her mother. I wonder what the new guy is up to. He looked like a decent love rival, but he had to go full on crazy! But I have hopes that he will turn into an ally so lets see where it goes. I'm so disappointed in the not-so-friendly bandit. Finally, glad that Nan Xing knows Xin Bai's the one she was looking for so long. I wish we could see more of Nan Xing's transformations, but unfortunately that part of her is underutilized by the drama.
Ep 35 to Ep 40: Dammit, why did Bai Yuan have to come up with such a ridiculous plan and get himself killed! Now, not only does he not have Yan Nan Xing, he is dead. So foolish. He could have led a better life with reforming his people. He put Nan Xing and Xin Bai's family in such a muddle. Xin Bai surely thinks divorce is a game, at the smallest inconvenience he is like Nan Xing let's get a divorce it will protect you! How long has he known Nan Xing? Does he think she is gonna stay in a corner he puts her into? She is gonna run head front in trouble and then he is just gonna have to rescue her. He might as well stick to her like a glue. The story was a bit underwhelming especially with the concept and the characters they had. It had so much potential. I did love the final episode with three lovely brides. The cast is also good, I hope to see the drama in another light if I ever rewatch it again.

hit-and-miss but still okay drama
Story is exactly like the synopsis given by mdlMl is Duke as well as chief of inspector office who suffer from face blindness but this don't stop him to catch criminals (since one sences deteriorate other enhance ) plus he is smart and intelligent.
FL is traveling doctor also suffer from strange condition that every full moon for some strange reason she start menstruation which lead to body change or transform ( throughout the series she change 10 times into different people of all age and gender ,director use all popular actors for all transform nd they did a good job ?
beside them there are many other characters some are interesting some are normal all respective actors did their part of role as it was written (nothing special),(*I like ml mother character she is cute some may found her annoying but 4me she is fun her childish annoying reaction were total fun 4me ).
On acting - all actor did the normal job (just one point that I watch Ryan cheng the actor who play shang bieli other dramas his is a decent actor but for some reason I found his acting weak in this drama at some point his is okay? nd some point I was like what he is doing nd why he is doing like that ?(surely nobody gonna get any award for this seies in this department or any other?).
as for dialogue delivery nd all I'm foreigners so this doesn't bother me.
OST I don't understand language so for me music rhythm sound and some time English translate lyrics speaks louder, if I found myself hum the tune I like it, if it I don't I don't, doesn't make ost poor( judge yourself).
production value wise this drama was good they did spend money equally wisely
cinematography, color grading, overall tone, camera angle, lighting, set designing, costume, hair- makeup, sound and music, martial art fighting sequence where all good ( personally I don't have any issues , I even like all the fighting sequence ).
okay there that's it I don't have any issues in any other departments.
so let now start with why I say hit-and -miss
and credit goes to half hearted written story (contain spoiler*)
I mean overall story was not poor it's interesting but what worng with female lead condition atleast give it proper explanation director or story
writer change her condition according to their will without any explanation at first she change every full moon but later she start transforming irregular maybe as story need but atleast if they add an angle which solve the reason why the irregularities occur it be better {surely marriage or their love relationship isn't the reason or it is(if it is is poorly written)}
; second too the end director decide to mention mystery toward female lead condition if she got cured or not {it's like she will know, whenever it happen, if it happens (whatever?)} atleast they show male lead got cured miraculously.
; third last few episodes they were drag totally unnecessary especially fl mother death arch and later she surrender herself I found it so so boring it was all useless and unnecessary. ( I surely like the end of how ml found her and recognise her) but before the court fight catching the actually mastermind the detour the story take was boring and unnecessary yes they explained the fl and ml connection but overall no need of other things (killing) expect that.
I guess few less episodes won't bother anyone
or they can focus more on fl irregularities and give more proper explanation ( than love or marriage).
so this is it, my review end here hope it helps other and doesn't hurt any overally enthusiastic fan emotions.
rewatch value depends only on drama fans and drama watchers weird taste(actors fans have many other better options).
goodbye tada ?
have a nice day

A light weight drama
The story was neither particularly good nor bad; it was a lightweight narrative that didn’t demand strong acting. However, the actors and actresses did their best to bring the characters to life, which I appreciated.Luo Yunxi, whom I previously watched in TTEOM, once again impressed me with his portrayal of JXB. He suited the character well and delivered a commendable performance.
Similarly, Song Yi, whom I saw in Destined, brought the character YNX to life convincingly in this drama, despite YNX being poorly written. Her acting skills were great, and she didn’t disappoint.
Both Luo Yunxi and Song Yi have immense potential in their acting careers. I watched this drama mainly for them, and they didn’t let me down. I’m eagerly looking forward to their future projects.
The chemistry between the leads was solid; I found no flaws in their interactions. The supporting cast also did an excellent job, adding depth to the overall experience.
Despite the story's simplicity, I enjoyed this drama, including the filler episodes.
Overall, I would rate this drama an 9.0 out of 10.

There's only one word for this drama, SLOPPY
I'm sorry, I am appalled by the sloppiness....To the point of angry, I am dissatisfied. Good budgeting, good casting, good theme of story, good start, good CGI... being butchered by the sloppiness of the drama's crews... 20 first episodes give me chill and addiction for the next story, but after that, I am speechless.
The story line is disoriented and illogical, the important part being shortened at the point of mess, the unimportant part being drag too much and too long...
How's that possible u asked???? I am shocked too... apparently It is very much possible T.T
Song Yi made a good statement in her carrier these past years, a series of good dramas so far, but this drama made a taint for her...
As for Luo Yun Xi, still, too thin for a main lead, hope he gain some weight soon...
That's all, hope for the better next time!!!

Sumptious light comedy romance detective show in beautiful historical setting for relaxing watch
Combination of factors makes for a thoroughly enjoyable watch: 1.) Great acting by very capable actors makes you laugh during funny moments and immerse during emotional scenes 2.) The production value (sets, camera work, art direction) is very high, great quality and has obviously been designed with lots of care - loaded with artistic shots and a feast for the eyes 3.) Script is well written - has good combo of comedy, suspense, plot discovery, touching romance (as with all shows, there are ups and downs with slower phases during the 40 episodes but this does not detract from the overall feel the creators are striving to evoke) 4.) Plot/themes - particularly liked the focus on what genuine/true love means (not the angsty/immature/ revenge type theme that seems too common in many c-dramas) , family, empowerment of women, at times ingenious use of the shapeshifting plot for good laughs, logical plot that explains itselfWas this review helpful to you?
I enjoyed it.
After marathon of watching K-Dramas I'm finally back to watch C-Dramas.The story is mainly ML investigating drug cases. It's a romcom, light-hearted drama. Many people complained that the plot was weak, too much comedy and not dark enough. We all know Chinese dramas are always light-hearted and don't have too many political issues involved because of their ridiculous censors. They can't make a drama with a dark theme. Moreover, it's clearly mentioned that it's a romcom, not a mystery drama. So why so much fuss about it? If you want to watch something dark base then this drama is not for you. I liked that they didn't have a rushed ending but rather a proper & sweet ending. It would've been great if they had also shown three couples married life. I loved all the cash acting. Nothing to say about Luo Yun Xi acting. He always gives his best. I basically watch it for him only. Also the plot does have romance involve but investigation plot was more in focus in fact it was more than the romance.
Laughed how Jiang Xin Bai & Yan Nan Xing held the man's hands in at cross & kept on pulling him to their side. Fighting with the man in between is like playing with him.
Yan Nan Xing refused every ritual before doing at her first wedding. I really liked their first wedding.
Loved Jiang Zhi Yi. She is so sweet. Her reaction to everything is top-notch. It is overacting, but that's how her character is.
Jiang Xin Bai can recognize pigeons but not people.
Laughed how Jiang Xin Bai used Shang Bie Li to run away from his grandfather's birthday.
Laughed when Yan Nan Xing threw vegetables & chicken at Jiang Xin Bai & Shang Bie Li to prevent them from fighting.
At first, I thought Liu Ruo Qian was a villain, but he was totally the opposite. Down to earth, hardworking, honest, soft-spoken. This kind of guy is very rare in today's world. It happens only in dramas.
Laughed how Tong Sai Er behaved with Shang Bie Li. She isn't afraid of him.
Tong Sai Er copying every move of Yan Nan Xing was cute.
Tong Sai Er reason for seeing Shang Bie Li really shocked Jiang Xin Bai & Yan Nan Xing & Shang Bie Li. I laughed so loudly at this scene my mother was glaring at me for it.
Yan Nan Xing expression when Jiang Zhi Yi said that Jiang Xin Bai is her nephew was hilarious.
Laughed how Shang Bie Li apologized to Jiang Xin Bai.
Love how Yan Nan Xing always shut Jiang Suo Luo mouth, she always makes her feel guilty.
Shang Bie Li looked cute while sulking.
Loved Yan Nan Xing & Jiang Zhi Yi cat fight. It was so hilarious.
Loved how Jiang Zhi Yi punished the teacher for bullying Jiang Suo Luo.
Epic ending of Ep22, Jiang Zhi Yi might have a heart attack.
Loved Jiang Zhi Yi in Ep23. Her expressions & reaction were so funny.
Love Jiang Xin Bai & Shang Bie Li bickering.
Poor Jiang Xin Bai & Yan Nan Xing first night was ruined. I laughed so much at the scene.

Luo Yun Xi & Song Yi of course here I'm coming. Haha...Story about Yan Nan Xing (NX) & Jiang Xin Bai (XB). NX suffered from a strange disease, she will change into different person for 5-7 days on her period days... She can change into man, woman, child, adult or even elderly, nothing can be predict who will she change into. And that's all because when she's a little kid, she ingest a strange poison. And since that day, NX & her mom try to find the cure. Fortunately, her mom is the famous doctor & together both of them travel the world to find the cure for NX.
XB is a prince who suffer from face blindness due to his sickness in his childhood. And since this romance drama, in the end NX is the only person XB can recognize. Not because NX's face is the only face XB can see, but everything about her is just special for XB...
One thing lead to another, they journey intertwine with each other. And they find out their connection is much deeper than they expected at the beginning. And together they experience a lot of things together that make their feeling & relationship keep grow. And along side the journey they also find a few real friend that go through all the hardship together...
That's pretty much the story. Now what I like and don't.
What I like:
+ The chemistry between Luo Yun Xi & Song Yi quite good.
+ I really like how XB & Jiang Suo Luo (SL) relationship evolve in time...
+ Tong Sai Er is a silly & funny girl.
+ The not so original but still quite fun to see. How FL can change her appearance.
+ NX & SL both strong girl. I really like even though SL fully aware how big a screw up she made, when she promise her married to a man (I forget his name), yet she's not try to bailed that promise, she took the full responsibility for it.
+ The funny last scene, where the 3 groom choose their 3 bride... ^^
What I don't like:
- The bullshit of the medical nonsense. Like plastic surgery they did on Shang Bie Li. Oh my goodness....
Overall story quite fun, but also not really leave so much trace in my brain after sometimes.

Sweetest Chinese costume Romcom
I wasn't expecting much from this drama. However, the first episode already hook me up with the beautiful film set up. I'm now at episode 20 and I must this drama is an all rounder. It doesn't have over the top story line with superhero etc but it is hilarious and the story is interesting. The lead actors are both great in their actings, very natural and you could really feel the sweet love in their eyes for each other, even without them proclaiming their love for each other. I was in for the comedy but surprisingly, the fighting scenes are amazing. It was quick paced without slow motion which reminds me of Hong Kong drama's fighting scenes in the past. The whole drama gives a nostalgic and calming feeling. Every characters are believeable, the settings are believeable, the passerby on the street are believeable, like they really live in that universe. I'm glad I foubd this gem. This is one drama which I would safe keep and watch over and over again whenever I feel down. Kudos to the whole team.Was this review helpful to you?

I would definitely recommend and I hope people will start to enjoy this drama like I do!!!! Please give it a chance!!!!!!!!!! If you disagree with me it’s totally fine we don’t need to have the same opinion!!!!!?Was this review helpful to you?
WHAT THE FUCK HAPPEND? DID THEY CHANGE WRITER FOR 2ND HALF OF THE DRAMA?
REALLY DRAGGY AND SLOOPY WORK.The first 23 to 26 episodes is good BUT......The last 10-15 episodes I literally completed in 30-45 min, seriously Boring and I wasn't even able to enjoy the Romance part. SO draggy. Please some tell the FL to sometimes listening to ML is Okay. Being independent lady is good but it won't hurt if you listen sometimes. All she does is make problems more complicated.
I taught FL will find medicine to become aa normal person but she turned back after ML hugged her wow. I think the writer followed the Korean format for this scene and it looked really sloppy after all the writing.
The Bandit turning bad is not necessary and has lot screen time. I really want to hit the writer who wrote his character the rather than character himself. ANNOYING. Sister's love story is too draggy and she lost the charms and seemed weak when compared to initial episodes. I taught she is intelligent and ambitious lady turned as a side character and does nothing till the end.
I really wished they followed a different format than Korean version. It's like they have taken " The beauty inside" and implemented the same format in this drama. To be honest the weakest villains I have ever seen in this kind of dramas. Everyone becomes a brainless characters at the end including Main and side characters. Lot of unnecessary deaths shown.
THE ENDING... Well showing marriage and happy ending to couples is good, But after all the draggy episodes one will lose their interest in watching it. Turned out to be weakest Last episodes
