Perfect amount of spices

The story for me is amazing. This deserve to be at top dramas of all time. The main cast's acting was great, the supporting cast did their job well. It's just like a cooking with the perfect amount of spice. I know many people can't understand the story or get the rom-com aspects in this series but this drama just perfectly portrait how people are, according to their status there in ancient China. I don't think the main leads doesn't have chemistry. For someone who loves to hide my expression and loves story with little clues but deep love, I think the Male Lead does it well. He's not bland, it's just what real people with high knowledge, status, and dignity will act. They tend to not show their emotions. But I actually can see his mind through his eyes and body language. if he kissed the Female Lead, my respect to him will go down. I never watch Ju Jing Yi shows until the end, but her acting here is if I can say, Superb. I can really relate with her emotions and she can adapt with three different male leads with three different characters so well. As for Wang Rui Chang and Bi Wen Jun, I cannot say it the other way. Their acting is always hit right. They both deserve to be more well-known. They are born to play this character. Notice how all of the cast tones are according to the ancient chinese tones. Other than the cast, I like the story values just like the other reviewer said. The moral and principal values that the producers want to tell us.

Currently my favorite C-Drama

The story when they were still school student until they became an adults is amazing. The story is very natural and the scenes are all what we experience in life.

Personally, I do not feel like the ending is rushed or dissapointed with how the story ends. I think this kind of story does happened in real life. It just shows how strong the love that the characters had.

In the novel, it is from FL pov and I think its nice. We don't need to know the ML's pov to enjoy the show.

The first time I feel attached to this drama is from the OSTs. At first I was only enjoying the story and feel relate to them but the OST makes me feel very attached and have strong sympathy with the characters. The OST start playing in the college part and I feel like I am their own best friend. Everytime the OTS played, I almost always cried because the of nostalgic feeling. Although I don't understand the lyrics, but I love it all.

I have read the novel and the story is quite different. This drama contains more events than the novel. In the novel, the ending is not really shown. Its an open ending but we know that finally the FL likes the ML.
