i finished watching this in under 4 days i was so captivated by it.
i had just finished watching blossom when i had reluctantly started this cuz 1. i wanted to forget i will never see the blossom leads together again(maybe) and 2. im just like that i try to distract msyelf instantly when i finish a drama.
at first as i had just finished blossom and the styles of both the drama are very dissimilar i kept comparing the two. i was even finding faults till ep 11. however, the pace started fastening after that and god knows ive been in misery ever since. this was such a perfect drama im just flabbergasted rn. i hate the last ep with all my guts. the only reason this is getting 9 points is cuz that ending deserved to be a dragged at least another episode. ik romance was not even a subplot in this drama still we were served but it was just utterly brutal that they would cut uf off just like that. also there was no fucking reason to kill off xiao heng's lackeys bro (i will never recover from that) like they were such good side characters. when i was watching the extra episode i kept thinking ah wen ji would make a joke here and get beaten up like the writers made me get attached to them for 40 episodes and then killed them off abruptly like morning tea aaaaaaaaaaaaaa
now on to the characters. i fucking loved jiang li/xue fangfei so fucking much. her plot was so solid she was unbeatable. i admire her sm for her independent self like mam had it all under the palm of her hand, tho it was a bit annoying how she kept going to xiao heng every time she fucked up which was 80% times. however we forgive her for her braveries. she really had the big brains and her acting is just immaculate.
next up xiao heng (kept the best for the last) this was my first xingyue drama and he has me under his palms. before this i knew of his existence ofc but i never thought id be watching his dramas anytime soon. normally i watch dramas if my favorite/known actors are there but this time i heard the double would be the best choice to watch after blossom and i followed suite and fuck that was ethereal. i loved every moment of the drama it was so good.
now dont get me started on their relationship. this drama literally looked like they did not even plan on having romance as even a subplot but then decided against it just to cater to viewers' needs and wants and the leads cooperated so well on that. my bsf knows the amount of times ive screamed pls get me a bf because of this man.
normally after every drama i go like i want more but this time im truly satisfied. the plot is stong, the ending couldve been better but for a revenge drama that was fucking good. i hope to see more like these so bad
