I usually don't watch cdramas without romance but i kinda want watch this drama since it's so popular and xiao…
It's definitely worth giving a try! It starts slow at first but sooner you'll get attached to the characters until you don't want to end this yet and wish it has more eps instead. And there is still romance here, it's just that it isn't the focus at all and/or there are only subtle hints between the leads.
Go watch it, XZ's popularity skyrocketed because of this drama for a reason.
