these 3 boys were what pushed me to watch this drama honestly. not going to lie, i never watched or heard of the other series or books. i initially watched for wu leo only (and the fact that it's not some typically romantic comedy). this drama was good, but i didn't appreciate it as much as i probably should have. story is unique and most of the action was around the first 20-ish episodes, then until the end it was pretty boring and hard to watch, it was there where i was on and off. things got really confusing and honestly, boring which led me to be on and off with this drama. i took me officially 2 YEARS to finish this drama. it's 2020 now and this came out in 2018 (when i started watching). i started watching again because i remember i didn't finish it, and i was feeling like watching some wang haoxuan. wu leo's acting here is INCREDIBLE. i think it's his best work out of everything i've watched from him. if there was a season 2 would i watch it though? probably. i didn't get the ending though. i wish li cu and wu xie and the boys could have met again. as for characters, the males were VERY intriguing, but the girls like liang wan and xiaoyuan ANNOYED THE CRAP OUT OF ME. like h o l y. su an was annoying too but she got better. but liang wan and xiaoyuan, while xiaoyuan was strong and actually useful (though a b*tch), liang wan was completely useless, annoying and gave me a headache. girl if you wanna be with rishan, please give him a break, let him do his job and give him some space lmao. oh yeah and don't pepper spray him??!??!? eugh
