A Hidden Gem

I've been looking forward to this drama for a while now and when it finally aired, I knew I needed to watch it. There's been a lot of releases this year which are either complete hits or misses and after watching a lot of good dramas already, I was scared that this one would have become a miss but thank goodness, it was really captivating. After about 15 episodes in the background story for Zhou Xiaoshan (LYX) really seemed familiar to Zhuo Ran in My Dear Guardian. I won't talk about it too much here because I don't want to spoil it, but if you've seen My Dear Guardian (starring Li Qin and Johnny Huang Jinyu) then you'll know what I'm talking about. There's less action here compared to MDG, but overall I really like it. LYX and SQ both did a fantastic job. I really like the side stories between Qiu Jiaxin and Qin Bin, and Mo Li's story with the client. The character development here is actually carried out pretty well (imo) and we don't have any annoying female leads trying to steal the male lead or some annoying breakups yet. Their age in the drama and them being mature really helped with this. The one thing I don't like about this drama is that in every episode, QJN is wearing super tall heels and I get that she's supposed to come from a rich family and dresses nicely but the heels...it looked super awkward for her to walk when they had full body shots. I don't know why the directors made her wear heels because irl, the height difference between SQ and LYX isn't that large. But here they make SQ nearly the same height as LYX.
