Even Zhang Jinyi couldn't save this drama
I watched this because of Zhang Jinyi sake only and the cast point solely for her but her voice actor has soul and i prefer her original voice. I will make statement: Xie Hongxin can't act despite his longer experience than most of short drama actor i know, he needs biggest improvement since most of all his show with many different kind of FL was always carried by actress; he appears wooden and dull in this drama, although the kissing scenes are technically skillful and intense. The chemistry in this drama was completely off.The plot cannot aim lofty theme, simple rebirth premise is sufficient.. Even after the ML and FL clear up their misunderstandings and unite in their resistance, they are clearly outmatched, with the SML and SFLs constantly causing trouble. ML and FL know the plot's development but lack strategy and fail to prepare defenses beforehand; if it weren't for the SFL's betrayal, they would likely have died at the Crown Prince's hands. Therefore, the drama's satisfying moments of punishing the villains are lacking; watching the ML and FL always feels powerless, fearing defeat. The part where they confessed their feelings and then each tried to call off the engagement was really unnecessary and felt so weak.
The only good thing is Zhang Jinyi carried the entire drama even though its not enough. Avoid at cost.
