First let me start of with how much I recommened this drama and that I loved it. PERIOD
And then let me explain to you in details why I find it so very nice to watch ( opps, for whatever reason my remark sounded little bit Jane Austen there)

Let's talk about the STORY, it's a historical, time travel story that obviously has already been done a lot before. You know this when you watched a lot of dramas, if you're new to asian dramas ..... well now you know, be prepared there are a lot of those. But here they put in the twist of the screenwriter trapped in her own story, which was a great way to rewrite those stories that has been done before. The story is definetly a great comedy with a little bit of drama in between but for sure nothing too much, so if you're looking for a melodrama (which sometimes I need! :D) , this is not it. It's kept light, fluffy and oh man cheesy ..... but come on that's why we watch these dramas, right? (Because hell men I don't get enough of those moments in real life, wait let me correct that; I NEVER get those moments IRL) That's why I think this is the perfect watch to distract ourselves from anything that's going on in the world or in your life. And be on the lookout for a little easter egg at the end, which I loved! (It starts with Hua .... DM me if you know what I mean)

The ACTING, like already mentioned it's a comedy and those are meant to be played in a comedic way and I think all of the actors did a great job. I can't imagen someone else playing the female lead other than Zhao Lu Si, she did a great job. Feels like this character was written for her. The male lead actor was also really good, loved his cute expressions! :)

the MORAL of the story was awesome. It's my first time seeing the subject of unequality between woman and men being mentioned and I think they played it out in a very funny but deep way, at the same time, especially with the two cities representing two different minds. I liked very much the conclusion they came to at the end :)

The "VILLIANS" were not really dramatic and they were understandable, you couldn't really hate them.
Something nice to mention is also maybe that the second male lead syndrome didn't really happen to me since I was fully devoted to both first leads, so if you dislike falling for the SML; this is the drama for you.

24 episoded were the perfect length, but I'm here for a second season in the modern world.... but only with the same actors. If not I wouldn't watch it, well I would probably still watch it but.... less happy, let me tell you that!

So to wrap it all up... I loved it and totally recommend it I just didn't give it a 10 because it wasn't that complex of a drama.
