The acting was the best part of all this

Honestly speaking the acting was top notch. The actors nailed every scene, their actions gave so much more than the script probably held. I loved that all their mannerisms showed the characters they played. Especially Zhu Yilong. The way he could portray Shen Wei and Ye Zun so differently is something to be studied. His acting was amazing and made me fall in love with both of the characters. The other actors did an awesome job as well, their characters made me react in ways I usually don't. So acting: 10/10

The story was interesting to see unfold and I loved that there were always consequences to every mistake. By the end I was practically glued to the screen, I couldn't stop watching it, wanting to experience all of it even despite it being the middle of the night. I also really loved that everything happening at the end was set up from the beginning, and though at the time the episodes felt like they didn't really connect with the other, by the end, it all made sense. I loved the character arcs as well, the way they transformed from one thing to the other. It was really interesting to watch, so story: 10/10.

The music gets 9.5/10, but only because I feel like they weren't as memorable in the beginning as it was in the end. Of course they were masterpieces, but their impact wasn't as great in the beginning.

I would genuinely recommend this drama for anyone who wants to watch something supernatural and kind of sci-fi. The tension in certain moments was great and there were plenty funny parts as well. So overall, 10/10 would recommend.

This drama changed me and is constantly on my mind

This drama changed me and is constantly on my mind. Like seriously, I watched it for the first time around two months ago and since then it's been on my mind almost non stop. I finally got around to rewatch it a week ago and once again, my mind is constantly on this sweet drama. Let me tell you why.

Story - 10/10
It is the perfect contract marriage to real marriage I've been searching for. The story starts off with a great amount of surprises and sweetness, the leads gravitate towards each other so easily. They have great chemistry and the way they get together is so sweet and natural (though I guess not fully if we look at it from the contract marriage part). Their storylines develop so easily and the character developments go so smoothly, I want to discuss it with the writers, because holy cow, it's amazing. Even the side storylines are great and not too over the top, the drama doesn't focus too much on them. Which is great, because sometimes focusing too much on the side stories can cause the viewer to be bored and start feeling annoyed whenever one of the side stories come up. So seriously, the story was interesting and kept me hooked.

Acting/Casting - 10/10
Another Miles Wei drama and honestly, I couldn't be more grateful. He knows exactly how to play these characters and he fits the role so perfectly. He deals with hot and cute so amazingly and even the subtle reactions were on point. And then there's the female lead. Let me tell you, I had to stop for a good ten minutes to just stare at my screen when she first came on. I was so shocked by her beauty, I couldn't even move. She also delivered on the sweet and (at first) naive female lead. Her character was so lovable even with all her faults and all her dumbness at the beginning. She was just so sweet and full of passion and empathy. I loved her so much and honestly, couldn't understand how the male lead didn't fall for her sooner. She was just soo lovable. And that's partly thanks to the writing, but after all, the actors are the ones who bring the characters to life. So, amazing castinga and acting as well.

Music - 10/10
Although the intro/theme song wasn't as catchy for me, the outro was so amazing. I don't usually like to watch the intros and outros, because they get boring after a while as I'm bingewatching the whole series. But the outro song is so full of life and energy, I couldn't resist the urge to listen to it. Even in my free time, I would just listen to it on Spotify or Youtube depending on which one was closest. It gave and still gives me such a push on days where I feel like just staying in bed all day and not doing anything. It gets me going, it gives me energy. Needless to say that I loved the music.

Rewatch value - 10/10
As I'm still thinking about it two months later and have rewatched it once already, I can say that this is easily one of the most rewatchable dramas I have seen. It is just so light-hearted and sweet, it probably will become one of my comfort dramas in the future. So the rewatch value is extremely high.

Overall - 10/10
As I have reached the end of my review I can say it without even thinking about it, that this drama deserves the 10/10 rating. It is an absolutely delightful drama and if you want to watch something sweet and easy to watch, I definitely recommend it.
