Thoroughly enjoyable and funny
I was looking for something light hearted and came across this. It is absolutely lovely and I enjoyed every minute of it. It's very funny and I laughed a lot. It also brought back memories of the carefree years of teens and universities . Both FL and ML did really well and the scriptwriter is very funny. The directorship is top notchedI wasn't a fan of Wen Jun Hui but since watching this,I have started checking him and his group Seventeen. I think he's absolutely talented
I hope to see more dramas from these two actors
I highly recommend this drama if you are looking for a light hearted ROM com but there's quite a lot of social values and education too

Subtle comedy, perfect scriptwriter
Watch it in the context of comedy,deceit,politics, female inequality and you will enjoy it. It's not meant to be an epic story or Big twisted plot. The beauty is in the excellent script,the directing and editing.. The main leads were excellent actorsI thoroughly enjoyed the subtle humor. It's funny without the usual screaming whiny females or stupid scenes. This series is all about strong female characters, witty strategy and a bit of power politics
I think it would appeal to global audience rather than the traditional diehard mellow drama fans who expect pitiful crying or overdramatic deep plots. Just relax and enjoy the subtle humor and you will love it
Highly recommended

Bit messy,need fast forwarding, poor editing
The first 10episodes was good. After that, it became a bit disconnected. If they had cut it down to 24 or 30 episodes, they could get rid of the unnecessary and some stupid stuff that's there purely to bulk up but make no sense. The unnecessary stuff are 1) FL's best friend (super stupid with behavior that totally doesn't make sense 2) repeatedly showing the same theme of the ex classmate's obsession. While I appreciate that they want to showcase the difficult life and ethical dilemma of doctors and soldiers,the poor editing and REPEATEDLY harp on the SAME theme is annoying. They really should develop and edit properly so the police story flows instead of this bitty here bitty there that makes no senseThe ML's cousin is also supper annoying -most viewers would find this person repulsive
I survived it by fast forwarding and editing out the unnecessary characters in my head
I hope the producers and editing team will read these comments and LEARN! Otherwise it's a complete waste of investors money and the actors ' time. Whoever is responsible for editing the second half should be sacked

Pitched at the right level
I don't usually bother to review but I really wanted to support this series and the teamThe story is not too complicated yet it has plenty of imagination keeping every single episode entertaining with a fresh perspective everytime.
Despite the comedy and mangga feel to it,it has a deep message about good and bad , and not to discriminate between races (re-presented by Taoist and the monster clans) just based on old beliefs,social stigma and spreading of fake news
The actors especially the two leads are absolutely fantastic (especially switching from big dragon king to being a baby dragon for the ML and the FL going through her various trials
The directing, the script writing,the music is good all top level, especially the OST by Liu Yining and Hao Ming Hao
I strongly recommend this drama to everyone. You will enjoy it

ugly make up, good story lost in maximizing pain by stupid script writer
The make up artist should be SACKED. Imagine giving the ML with EAR to EAR eyebrows nearly straight across the nose bridge! Is this cartoon? This is supposedly professional make up?? UGLY as HELL .The story has great potential but the real story is lost because the script writer is OBSESSED with maximizing pain ! To do that, she made the FL stupid, endangering herself at every turn and the ML is having to sacrifice himself repeatedly to the end point.
The real story is about the power play between the ML and the grand tutor Ling.The focus should be on how to defeat the culprit It's a fantastic story but instead of the fantastic story the script writer destroyed it by the determination to cause pain between the leads
The script writer obviously DISRESPECT women, (ALL the women here are thoughtless,crazy and headstrong)The men are chauvinistic -making decisions and failing to communicate with the women in the guise of "protecting"her, that's not love, that's disrespectful of women and super chauvinist
This is the calibre of this script writer !!
Book is different from drama. People who read books can cry all they like but dramas are for entertainment, therefore there's No need to adhere to the book to maximise pain. Tear jerking doesn't automatically make your product "arty", in fact it's a big TURN OFF
It's stupid mistakes and pain throughout with no growth or correction of the miscommunication which is what real love should be, this is just chauvinistic ML and headstrong FL -REPEATEDLY
The actors are extremely good but the script only serves to anger and spoiled my mood
I stopped at episode 14, I had enough. And I read of the ending which proved to me that the entire purpose is just to inflict pain when the object should be to display the fantastic power play and how to defeat the culprit. Somehow the main story of the culprit is LOST in the obsession with inflicting pain
Tear jerking DON'T make it a work of art, it's just a waste of good talent and good story made to become trashy tear jerking tool
Don't waste your time . It's totally UNENJOYABLE

Excellent drama
I highly recommend this dramaIgnore the bad comments. It's extremely well presented. The story was good and it's very well edited such that there's no draggy moments
The lead actors and actresses performed really well and I feel both ML and FL have a great chemistry. Unlike many actresses who only have one dimension-same smile same stupid gaze this FL did really well despite her young age,also did Song Wei Long who express well with his eyes
I thoroughly enjoyed the drama. The script was well written and the story didn't try to be some epic-overly arty-trying too hard type drama that's draggy. This drama pitched it just right for 30episodes. Very enjoyable and I looked forward to every single episodes
Well done to the crew and the make up artist didn't slap on white paste good only for the dead. Only one negative is the song lyrics keep covering the subtitles of the conversation+-super annoying

Feel good,Nice like a music video, not much story
If you want to just feel good and enjoy the view like a beautiful music video,then this is for you. It's like a walk through a beautiful garden. The actors are excellent and the cinematography is beautiful in creating the perfect "feel" in this aspect it's really goodThe TCM is really impressive and I learned a lot from this drama. Really eye opening
The story is nothing very much and it became a bit bland by episode 19-20, I almost abandoned it because it's not going anywhere
Otherwise it's enjoyable but not much brain work type of drama designed to calm the spirit
