story:
i really liked the "first life" that the main leads had. it was cute. but when things started changing and the second life started i got really confused at first and then it just kinda pissed me off. i didn't like the fact that they were living under different bodies but had the "same spirit" or whatever. 后池 and 清穆 annoyed me so much lmao. after sucking it up for like twenty episodes, i started skipping parts. the only reason i even watched until episode 44 is because of the second couple, 风染 and 二殿下. but then i decided to spoil it for myself and found what happened between those two during the ending so i was like okay i don't want to watch this anymore. UGH I WAS SO PISSED

acting/cast:
idk if it was 许凯's acting or what but 清穆 just annoyed me. the way he talked and acted in front of other people and stuff.. just bleh. but for some reason 白玦 before the "reform" was perfectly fine to me (so maybe it's just the character?). also the main leads just kinda grossed me out after that first life. i love 周冬雨 in other dramas, but idk if historical is the right fit for her.

music:
okay the music is the one thing that i'm super "satisfied" with in this drama. i think they had 刘宇宁、周深、毛不易 so like. you literally cannot go wrong with any of those artists.

rewatch value:
no thanks

overall:
i didn't like it, wouldn't really recommend to any of my friends but that's all my personal opinion. i saw a lot of other people on here liked it so ig that's that.
