interesting in a disturbed way
Highly enjoyable. All the feelings are present. Hits the right spot. Love, hate, laughter, disappointment, loathing, disbelief, revenge, back stabbing, time travelling, etc. all found within this romance series.A emotional romantic romp with meaning.
It's a shame that it's a mini episode, even through it fits perfectly into the programme. Shame it is too short, but it's also prefect. Left you wanting more.
It's well written, acted, storyline was great, so many odd threads connected together.
Pushes all the right buttons.

Lived better than my expectations
Story revolves around a fallen god 'sinner' who possesses an innocent mortal's body and a goddess who comes to mortal world seeking holy fruit ( misplaced from heaven) as innocent mortal's bride. (Not SPOILING MUCH FOR YOU)during the span both mortal and the fallen god in his body fall for goddess and bittersweet romance begins.
The take aways from this drama:
1) loved watching contrasting behaviour of the ML as the sinner and the mortal... HONESTLY THIS IS SUCH A GOOD RPG IDEA FOR PLAYING IT WITH YOUR PARTNER 🤭🤭)
2) beautiful and talented cast ..FL is one my fav i love watching her in pre independence era shows.. she is awesome.
3)The couple has a good chemistry.... Loved watching ML being serious while protecting her and flirting dirty and stealing kisses when they are alone.
4) perfect balance of genres
5) good and consistent pace of plot
6) unpredictable twists
7) even vamp's character found a purpose in the end.
Dumps of the drama.
1) ending is rushed the last three episodes are shot in a way that kind of disappointed me. Plus the closure to the story is not properly given.
2) even though it is not the problem with drama itself but the subtitles suck . I watch a lot of chinese drama so i can figure out what is going on but as for beginners this is going to create problems.

Short but not that inspired
This is a short drama that I found somewhat mediocre. It’s got a little silliness to it, but I wasn’t that amused and I don’t think it’s meant to be a comedy. I’d say it’s a straightforward romance story.The FL is a goddess jumped into a mortal body. She is sassy, has attitude, and stands up to bullying, but unfortunately she lost all her powers so she’s physically not that strong. She’s likable enough, I guess.
I’d consider Change Feng and Fu An to be ML and SML, if only because they both like the FL. What’s more unusual is that they share one body- you sometimes have to guess who’s currently present in said body, based on bearing, attitude, and voice. I think the actor did a pretty good job, but sometimes I guessed wrong.
The two of them have very different personalities and separate consciousness. I never fully figured out how it works or what’s going on, but they are definitely different people. Yet even with distinct personalities, I didn’t have too many opinions about them. Just not that emotionally invested.
The falling in love part is rather abrupt and I’m not sure when, how, or why it happened. I think there is a half-assed attempt at enemies to lovers. I did like watching the ML all flirty after they get together, and they have pretty good chemistry, it’s just that the relationship is not built on much. There is the SML sadly pining on the side but nobody seems to care.
The show is a little confusing and chaotic at the beginning, but they do manage to convey enough necessary information to follow along. Considering its length, it was actually less choppy and rushed than I expected. It ends up being fairly straightforward; the FL’s mission is not that complicated, and there aren’t too many twists and turns. I actually never quite figured out what was going on with the sacred fruit, but in the meantime, there are some evil humans to counter and defeat. There is even a “touching backstory” that gets revealed, but it’s too short and underdeveloped for me to really care.
At 8 min x 20 episodes, I was excited to be able to binge an entire show in one evening. But after seeing what I got, I think I should have just picked a well-rated movie instead. It’s not bad for mindless entertainment, but afterwards I didn’t feel great- it felt like I’d just watched a couple hours of filler.
And right, the subtitles are not good and can create confusion. Knowing some Chinese is definitely helpful. The subs aren’t the worst I’ve seen, and the wording is not the most difficult; just some knowledge of conversational Chinese, paired with the English and Chinese subs, should be enough.
ENDING – READ AHEAD ONLY IF YOU WANT TO KNOW, CONTAINS SPOILERS
I think this is a happy ending, but I’m not totally sure what happened. The ML dies, and apparently the FL gives up immortality (poor sifu, guess she doesn’t care about never seeing him again). I think this act somehow revives the ML, though the terms of this deal are unclear and for some reason it takes a chance meeting for them to reunite.
I have no idea what happens to the other guy in his body. I guess he is supposed to live.

Terrible Writing and the Worst Subtitles I Think I've Ever Seen
**This is just my opinion. I truly appreciate the hard work and dedication that went into the making of this drama. Thank you.**I feel bad writing this. I really do. I know that a lot of people worked very hard on this drama. For that and to them, I sincerely apologize. Having said that, the writing is really bad and the subtitles are the worst I've seen out of the 160 plus dramas that I've watched. I made it through episode 13 and stopped. I didn't want to waste any more of my time on it.
Despite that, I did like both of the lead actors and the characters they were playing. They did the best that they could with what they had to work with. I'm not saying that the characters were good. I just liked certain qualities about them. The fight scenes looked silly, with characters flying like spinning tops. The romantic scenes were just as bad. Oh and the biting. What on Earth was that? Not the sexy kind. It was just so weird. I was watching just to find out what the deal was but decided I just didn't care enough. I'm sure it has something to do with the initial scene and contaminated blood but still.
I only noticed one song but it sounded pretty. I couldn't say about the rest of the ost.
