honestly had no expectations for this show and i'm a huge fan of yangmi so naturally i was looking forward to this show. i read reviews once the first few episodes were released and thought everyone was being a little bit too harsh like y'all were saying the age gap was weird and whatever and how she 'practically raised' him and stuff like that but i honestly thought the first few episodes were pretty solid and interesting enough to keep me wanting to watch the show. whoever is complaining about the age gap stuff are the same people who will giggle and support the couple if the man was the significantly older one while the female was the younger one so i'm not gonna talk about that. y'all just don't like older woman-younger man dramas LOL.

then in the middle of the show it started getting repetitive and it was like the same storyline was repeating over and over again, he saves her, she saves him etc etc. it was VERY boring and much different from how i expected the storyline to play itself out. the cgi, the fight scenes and the progression also started getting sloppy, then i found another show to watch and lost interest by the time tushan hong hong lost her memory so i just ended up skipping to scenes with yangmi only. didn't even watch the last 2 eps because i saw the ending on weibo anyway LOL

another thing is none of the characters were very engaging, probably because i didn't know much about them at all. the plots were very there and then based and none of them were given any character development. that being said, i dare say none of the love lines in this show had chemistry with each other except butai and that guard but well that didn't end well. the love lines weren't developed properly which is so unfortunate bc in the first few eps i thought yangmi and gongjun actually had chemistry, like the TENSION WAS THERE but it fizzled out so fast due to the lack of development in their love line (at some point they HAD to let tushan hong hong and dongfang yuechu have some moments but all of which i can't seem to remember except when he made the fake snow and the fireworks thing but that was in the earlier episodes if i remember properly. other than that they gave us crumbs, making it extremely hard for me to even see that they were even the main couple LOL.)

i do like the soundtrack and the costumes but other than that i find it hard to say anything positive about the show. they had an amazing cast but they wasted it with a horrible screenplay and i definitely feel like they could've done so much better. maybe i'm being too generous with the score but yeah!
