Cute Fluff and Luo Yunxi

Rated= 6 ~ 26/50 ~ 5.2
Scene // Losing track of a Fairy in a Crumbling Castle. Battle Axe might be breaking.

This show started off great but I have to admit, about half way through, I kind of just wanted it to just get to the point. Once we got to the first 'downfall' of the bad guy hierarchy, I felt like there was just too much filler, esp that whole nonsense with the price wars. I actually got really annoyed at those episodes that I hurt my finger pressing the skip button so hard.
What a way to ruin a good show. I lost a lot of interest after that.

The whole show centres around this illegal plant called Zoria and somebody/group in the background using it for some unknown purpose. In the midst of this we our ML, a chief constable trying to wipe out it's purchase and avenge the injustice and murder of his father, and our FL, a travelling doctor with almost magical healing abilities and shapeshifts during menstruation.
Unbeknownst to each other they have met before in their childhood when their fates collided.

Overall, it's not a bad show. It's fairly light hearted in general and for me personally, just got super annoying at times with what I felt was meant to be humorous but unfortunately didn't land on me very well. It what you would expect from these types of shows, running with that magical, kind of don't believe you procedures like reconstructing a nose and fixing someone's eyes but I suppose if you have a FL who shapeshifts, I guess you have no choice but to go with it lol

The bad guys were the bad guys. Nothing really I can say about them. The usual striving for power and women should be kept in the kitchen kind of clownery and the collateral damage didn't hit me too hard. Oh, and the random 'bad guy' at the end who wants the FL because she fixed his eye and was nice to his people......OK....
There are 3 couples in this show and they all get a happy ending which I was happy about. Because of the moments I was getting frustrated with, I was expecting someone important to die so I'm grateful they didnt add fuel to the fire by offing one of them at the last minute, which I was completely expecting.

I wasn't feeling the chemistry between the leads unfortunately which was kind of a let down when it's a romance plot. I do enjoy watching LYX though and he did his usual graceful and soft spoken performance. At least this time he wasn't being horribly abused and left to die at the end. A special mention would be ep.3 when the ML is drunk. LYX makes a really cute drunk grandpa.

Overall, I did enjoy it mainly for LYX who is a favourite, but I don't think I'll be watching it again.
