Yang Chao Zi
Busan, Korea
This wasn’t what I expected
First off I’m a huge fan of Liang Jie and Yitian Hu since Handsome siblings. Though we’re not the couple in the drama they were my favs. So I was excited and expecting this drama. The drama started off good around episode 8-25 it became boring and dragging. The ML wasn’t a simp for the FL like most people are saying. He fell in love with her day one but he should’ve understood her feelings for his best friend would take a very long time to get over. He came into her already occupied life and messed her feelings up. So he was wrong for that.Secondly, The FL was tiptoeing with the “will she, won’t she?” when it came to her growing feelings for the ML. She knew she was falling in love with him but drew out the hard to get until he gave up. She was wrong with that approach. Then we have the ML ex who he keeps thinking about throughout the whole drama and when she comes back he kids himself, into thinking “Eh, I’m over her.” But as soon as something was wrong with her or the so called kid was supposed to be his. He drops everything for her. He made the already weary FL scared and insecure which wasn’t cool. Nor was it cool for the FL to keep pushing him to her to help. The Model friend was too me no model nor friend. Her relationship with her dad, the modeling world, the other friend was as stale as them glares she gave. The kid sister was super annoying the worse but not the worse of the females. No, that’s the model friend then her. I also couldn’t stand the Older woman and her younger husband storyline. As I felt like they just was there for comedy filter. All in all, the last few episodes felt rushed. Especially the main Lead couple. Will I watch it again yes but not always. Just for the happier times when they finally got back together.

This drama will never be lost forever
What can I say? This drama was everything I had hoped for, in Yang zi’s growing career. I loved the first half more than the second half as it stayed true to the novel and didn’t let fangirls of certain actors/ characters ruined the plot line. I still will rate this drama high as spite the ridiculous changes to feed certain characters/ fans. It still was pretty good. The whole cast did an amazing job even the bad guys who you can’t help but relate to most of them. The musical score was amazing and so was the CGI. Everything was perfect in the first half which will always hold a dear spot inside my heart. The second half was nice but not as good as the first half. Again I still think this drama is a 10.Was this review helpful to you?
TBH I don’t know what I was expecting.
First off not a huge fan of ZLY. I could never get into any of her other dramas other than the one with FSF. However, I tried to like this one due to people being happy she was back with Kenny. Since her princess agents days. But, man I dropped this drama at episode 14. I got tired of the back and forth with both leads, the comedy. There were times when it was too much giggles and humor moments than storytelling. Some of the characters were uninteresting mostly the leads. I only liked the Mo guy who was her second in command and the heavenly grandson. Both were a joy. The highlight for me was them and the music score as it was pretty good. Especially with Liu Yuning singing OST. How can it not be. Would I watch it again. Yes, but for only 1-14 or maybe less than that. Happy for those who loved it but this wasn’t my cup of tea. Not sure when I’ll be able to love a ZLY drama.Was this review helpful to you?
