My first CDrama that I got obsessed with

This is the first review I’m doing as I would like to give my thoughts on this one. I’m someone who tries the first 2-3 episodes of a drama and decide if I shall continue. This drama gets its story done on the first few minutes of the first episode and got me hooked. The part that made me decide to want to finish this is the entrance of our beloved ML which has this boss anime music theme (that song rocked).

Upon his arrival and the snickering antics he shows, I guess the ML is the sole reason why I was able to finish and got intrigued with the story.

For the actors, this is my second Esther Yu drama as I’ve seen her LBFAD and liked that one (but not a huge fan). I don’t hate her cute voice as I have respect for her craft especially that she’s an idol/singer and actress. I like how she does her own dub and being a cute and bubbly character suits her so well as this is her own irl persona. I’m just happy she was able to distinguish her role here as Ling MiaoMiao and her Orchid character in LBFAD.

Now for our ML, this is the first drama I’ve seen of Ding Yuxi and made me a fan of his. I actually saw him on Reels and thought he looks handsome with his eyeglasses, but boy I did not know HE CAN ACT SO WELL. His eyebrows, eyes and lips are all acting with his micro-expressions that few actors can pull.

Esther Yu and Ding Yuxi’s chemistry is on fire with this one that it works like magic. Would definitely like to see them in modern adult/mature like collab for their 3rd one if this can happen. Also, they sung some of the songs in the dramas OST. Talk about having that more emotion when that song plays on a scene.

For the story, as someone who is not a fan of dragging plot, I could say episodes 1-20 are so bingeable that you can finish them in one sit and the rest of the episodes are a drag and made me want to sleep sometimes. How I wish we can see more romantic scenes of them after that 99% affinity. I felt robbed after episode 20 as this shifts to the background story, saving the world and the support characters.

I hope they release special episodes where we can see more of their romance as everyone wants more. People even watch their first tandem, Moonlight because of this.

Nevertheless this was a great pleasure and fun to watch albeit the 2nd half’s drag as this was truly an enjoyable story that I’ll remember for a long time.
