A nice simple show to watch - Super Dorky and Sweet
This is my first time writing a review so bear with me ;-;
Story:
The story itself was very predictable. That saved me a lot of heartache and headaches since the story is simple, straightforward so its suited for those that want to have a good laugh.
What I like a lot about the story is that every episode and character seem to be meaningful, the director didn’t drag out the plot (from what I can tell at least). This show is based on a BL novel and I never read the novel but I liked the show even though its a censored version (I don’t really like BL novel but I do like bromance and sweet friendship). All the character and relationship felt very sweet and had there own unique areas and interactions that makes you like them. For example the main duo Ji Chuan x Zhao Qing Feng, Ji Chuan x A fu etc.
What I dislike about the story the most is the ending (which I won’t say too much about or else it will be a major spoiler) as well as the random couple pairing of A Fu. My wish was that there were more scene with Ji Chuan x A fu x Wei Qi, they were one of my favourite group, only in episode 23 (second last episode) do we finally see there story and honestly that scene made me cry.
Acting/ Cast:
I think the director did a great job on casting and every actor did pretty well in my opinion (keeping in mind the production budget of the cast was very low and many of the actors are actually newbie or idols). All the actor brought there character to life and didn’t seem odd. I also like the child actor that played little Ji Chuan as well as Zhao Qing Fengs dorky clan brothers. Yes the story/ character may be cheesy but they didn’t make me cringe at all expect Xiao Lin (at time he seemed a bit cringy but still sweet)
One main reason I even watch this show was for Su Xiao Tong and Lou Ming Jie (saw him in I’ve Fallen for You and loved his dorky characteristic in that show too). A big surprise was Zhou Yan Chen was in this (I first saw him in Idol Producer and I really liked him), the actor for Xiao Lin was also in Idol producer. So I was very excited for this casting.
Despite the low budget, the costume and hair were really nice expect A Fu and Xiao Lin awkward sandal and bare legs (while the other main characters and most historical drama the costume usually covers the leg and wear covered toe shoes).
Music/ Audio/ Sound:
The music were nice and the selection of music for certain scenes were good too. One major problem with the show is that due to the low budge; the voice of the actors at time were muffle or not that soothing/smooth compared to other shows.
There were also animal sound effects added to match the 2 main character’s characteristic (Cat for Ji Chuan and Dog for Zhao Qing Feng), which I found to be really cute.
Overall:
I personal have a weak heart, I can’t stand there being tragic and unnecessary traumatic plots so this show was just right for me, there was drama/ conflict and slight misunderstanding but they were quickly and smoothing resolved, there was tragic but not so much that I would be depress for a long time. So this is a great light hearted simple story about growth, trust, family, and friends.
