Basic premise: Piao Piao starts college thinking she will be an arts and calligraphy major but then runs into Wei Chu, a senior who dreams of revitalizing tai chi as a martial art but is injured and can no longer fight. She shows incredible tai chi skills saving him from rivals in the boxing department and the story evolves from there.

My take: Fun and fluffy rom com that also shows the female lead learning more about her family’s history and her own strengths and dreams. I liked that the female lead could do martial arts, and although she was portrayed as quite naive, at least she wasn’t helpless.

The main lead does a great job playing an aloof character who seems quite cold on the outside until he falls for the FL. There are a lot of training montages, fun secondary romances and characters (loved the couple from different tai chi sects that had been together since childhood!), and even a second FL and second ML. The pacing can be uneven at times (for example, the ending was rushed and I would have liked more time on martial arts and fewer shots of different couples gazing longingly at each other - but that’s what the skip 10 seconds button is for) and the show is very G rated (I’d buy the two leads care about each other but the actual interactions are very very G rated and the ML plays it almost too cool). However, while the drama wasn’t perfect I still really enjoyed it and wish there were more shows that mixed “sports/martial arts” and romance like this.
