Interesting premise but...

When I knew the script writer for Someday or One Day wrote this piece, I immediately purchased iQiYi VIP subscription so I could watched the episodes as soon as it was release!

The premise was very interesting, touching on folktales I've never heard before and environmental issues. BUT, I would say this was a little lacking compared to what I had expected from this piece.

Firstly, the femal lead character could be the most hypocritical and annoying character ever. She was great at the start, but towards the end she makes questionable choices and I couldn't feel anything for her but annoyance and frustration.

Second, the chemistry between the main leads felt flat. They felt more like siblings, and/or partners.

Lastly, the ending, what intrigue me in the beginning was the topic about the environment. But that topic was somehow forgotten and miraculously solved towards the end of the drama.

Nonetheless, I still watched all episodes every week despite it flaws. To all those still considering whether to watch or not, I would say just go for it! The story setup is interesting, and the plot twist is quite mind boggling as well. All the other character are very interesting to watch except the main leads. I would say set your expectations low to enjoy this drama to the maximum. I'm just disappointed that this drama did not hit me like how Someday or One Day did...
