Acting and CGI par excellence...Luo Yunxi stands out!
For me it is actually between 9.5 and a 10.First, the choice of actors is amazing, it seems they were meant to do these roles. The fact that Luo Yun Xi used his own voice made a hell lot of a difference. His micro-expressions are phenomenal and he has portrayed all 4 characters effortlessly. You can actually feel subtle differences in his acting. Bai lu does justice to her role and was an apt choice. Their chemistry is so easy and effortless and amazing. However, the character build up of Li Susu is not as great as that of Tantai Jin.
Second, the CGI is point on! One of the best I have seen till date in Chinese dramas. you get hooked on to it and just do not feel like skipping. Kudos to the production team. They have done an excellent job in bringing everything together and have justified all production costs.
Third, the storyline moves fast in many areas, which is rare in Chinese dramas. So, that was a welcome change. The storyline does drag a bit between Ep 30-35, but picks up again.
I had just finished watching Love between Fairy and Devil and was not in a mood to watch another similar Chinese fantasy drama. But this got me hooked from Ep 1 mainly because of the par excellent acting of the main leads and the Visual FX.
I have already seen it three times and can watch again. Also, this one made Luo Yun Xi earn a lifelong fan!

Effortlessly sizzling chemistry and class apart acting makes this drama very enjoyable!
So this is another rom-com which might give a sense of familiarity with other such dramas about office romance, domineering CEO etc. Many say storyline and plot are not that good. I too agree with the latter. It is a very normal day-to-day kind of story line...and probably that is why it is also so relatable.I came to see this after completing TTEOTM and am so glad that I did. The acting is just at a completely another level. I have not seen such easy chemistry between lead actors since a long time. I mean LYX...why has this awesome and mind-blowing talent remained hidden...it is absolutely baffling because his acting skills are at a very high level, even beyond that of many top Chinese actors! I have not seen such micro-expressions and the directors taking so many close-up shots of an actor. It shows that the directors too trust LYX's acting abilities. And there is Bai Lu - perfect combo for LYX! She is too good, has such an easy chemistry with Luo and gives lovely expressions at times. Both are just beyond brilliant together!
The other parts of second couple, the second lead are okay. Love is Sweet completely belongs to LYX and Bai Lu. Even their kisses are so real, no awkwardness, very professional, and to die for.
The latter part of the drama drags a bit and does not have a lot to offer in terms of storyline, but the lead actors do not disappoint.
If you are fans of the lead actors, you will not be disappointed at all. Complete mood lifter this one!
