this show sparks joy
it's not perfect, it tends to drag at some plot points. I love it all the same 💕💕💕the novel is fan translated into English and is a great read as well.
the characters are full, complex, and heartwarming. Tang Fan is way brattier in the show than the novel; sometimes it can be over the top.
the actors are fantastic.
the set design is gorgeous. rich, lush lighting and colors.
excellent fight choreography. Sui Zhou's fight scenes are usually 🥵🥵🥵

Hi, I actually enjoy the show but there is a dubious consent sex scene at the end of episode 4 and I wanted to let other people know in case this kind of scenario is upsetting. I am very upset by dubious consent sex scenes where consent is not firmly established. at the end of episode 4 one of the characters is drugged and hitting on a sober character. they hook up, and it makes me feel yucky. I'm not here to yuck other people's yums, but I just wanted to let other folks know in case this kind of scenario also upsets them.
After reading other spoilers/reviews, apparently there's mostly dubcon sex scenes where one character is inebriated and the other is not, so I'm dropping the show for now.
