For chengyi, fake rating.
Cheng Yi is my all-time favorite Chinese actor. For me, he’s the best when it comes to acting—whether it’s emotional scenes, romance, or fight sequences, he usually excels at everything. However, I didn’t like how he portrayed his character, Xiao Shui, in this drama. It felt like he was playing Li Chengzhou instead, and overall, this was his weakest performance so far.
The plot was extremely boring and full of plot holes. The sad moments felt forced and piled on one after another, the twists were illogical, and the ending was absurd.
Honestly, I don’t know how I managed to finish all 40 episodes—I did it only for him.
The script was very poorly written, and the problems didn’t stop there. The directing, camerawork, and color grading were also weak. The supporting cast did the drama no favors either, except for Xu Zhenxuan, who was excellent and one of the main reasons I kept watching. Everyone else was forgettable. It felt like the production relied entirely on Cheng Yi’s name, assuming the drama would succeed without any real effort.
This was supposed to be an S+ drama, but it looked and felt low-budget, not recommend, don't waste your time
