Zhao Zhendong and Han Jia Hui’s chemistry was so good I thought they were a real couple
This version will always be my standard of this story. It’s light-hearted with the right amount of angst with lots heart fluttering moments that got me squealing in the middle of the night.
Like:
1. ML: Zhao Zhen Dong is one the versatile short drama actors who can do both dark and comedic roles. He nailed both as Ximen Lichen. It’s not as dark as his Bo Wang role but you can easily see how different he is with Wan Zhi and with others (every girls’ dream). His smirks and his turned-on face everytime Wan Zhi flirts back is so freaking believable. And his “baobei” ugh i die and resurrect everytime
2. FL: I thought at first Han Jia Hui’s would be outperformed by Zhen Dong but there’s a scene where she made me cry because of how pitiful she looked. And she really looked so traumatized that i want to reach inside the screen and comfort her. Jia Hui easily matched Zhen Dong’s vibe. And character wise, I really like how Jiang Wan Zhi is portrayed here. She did resist Ximen Lichen first but you can easily see that she’s not really trying that hard.
3. Chemistry: this is why i keep rewatching it. Honestly even now i think there’s something going on between them because of how natural they looked lol they made it so believable.
4. Story: I like that they got together quickly and resolved the misunderstandings.
Dislike:
1. Details: it’s not that i dislike it but it is less detailed compared to other versions. The con of that is that there are some unresolved issues but the pro is it’s easier to rewatch cos it’s light hearted
Favorite scene
- ximen lichen acting so shamless
- jiang wan zhi flirting back
