It could have been better if only there was no censorship…
This could have been a good story if only China does not censor time travel / going back in time genre.
I understand that the director wanted the audience to understand that you cannot change your mistakes/past but instead of focusing on the fl dreams of wanting to change what her family did, it would have been better if she woke up earlier. She could have owned up to her mistakes and tried to be a better person (basically redemption arc) in real life.
Too many filler scenes and not enough time to build up the relationship between real ml and fl that you’ll end up questioning if it was really the ending. There were a lot of problems/issues that were not resolved because she only came back to her real world in the last episode. Its like they ended the drama right before the climax of the real story.
Final thoughts:
Not really a fan of dramas with female lead - 3 male leads because not enough screen time to wrap up everything (too many unnecessary scenes that could have been removed).
Actress playing ZY is really good, showed different emotions and interpreted her role well. Score 8/10
ZXW actor also good, he was able to play the role of unrequited love convincingly. He’s also very good looking with his manly face and broad shoulders (he does look like a lord / nobleman). Score 8/10
HRZ is cute like a puppy who fell in love for the first time and was willing to do anything for that person. Needs more practice / exposure to other genre. Score 7/10
ZYL actor okay-ish. To be fair, even in the novel he was cold, aloof and did not express his feelings much which he showed in the drama. He was always poker face even when he was supposed to be worried, angry etc. Score 5/10
MY actress is a disappointment. This is the first time I’ve seen her in a bigger drama project but girl, her expression from the start up until the finale is the same. I wanted to see anger, disappointment, jealousy etc but her face remained the same all throughout. She was the damsel in distress, the audience is supposed to understand her but I ended up liking the villain more. Her eyebrows and forehead do not even move when she’s conveying emotions huhu. More acting workshop for you girl, her role did not convince me at all. Score 3/10 (and this is me being generous).
