Guys, please don’t take this as an offense. My intention is to understand the unique appeal of this show. It’s…
There are so many reviews on both tumblr and twitter. There was one I read the other day that was pretty spot on, but can't find the link at the moment.
For me, the humor is just up my alley. I don't think the humor is for everyone, but after laughing so hard again and again, I was sold. A completely different experience from when I was reading the novel, so it's like I'm experiencing the same story in different ways. There's also a sincerity in the storytelling that I'm picking up. It's not just making a drama for the sake of it and getting money out of it. So far, I'm sensing that the production cares, and the cast cares, most especially the two leads. For me, the sincerity comes off the screen. I'm hoping it carries on to the last episode.
And like I've said before, the stories in books and movies are the same, one way or another. I would read the same genre over and over again. The difference will always be on how it's told. This drama here, right now, is crossing all the boxes for me. It doesn't have to be the best drama of all time, and I don't think that was their goal. But it's apparent to me that there was heart in making this.

In the novel, it was always Ziqi's eyes that tell on him. Even if his body is not moving, his eyes are always saying something else.

Esther fits Miao Miao to a T. 😍
