Annoying FL

Maybe it’s because I watched TPOB, thennnn I watched this! And I’m sorry, this just didn’t live up to my expectations.

The plot- very promising. Being sucked into the novel world, ok nothing new. Other dramas have done the same. The FL dying multiple times and having to find the correct outcome- interesting. Trying to change the main plot, and being sucked back into the original plot, also very interesting. However, the themes become repetitive, something like Deja vu or Groundhog Day.

The comedy- I knew it was meant to be comedic, light-hearted and humorous. But um.. some parts were just childish, esp with Riley King’s acting and expressions.

The main beef I had was with the FL. As many viewers that like her, there are also many that dislike her character. Way too much talking, then annoying. Imagine the ML trying to give his explanation and EVERY TIME she just cuts him off. And then she tries to act all cute- no sorry. Can’t stand her.

What I like:
1) Liu yuning- but of course. He is dominating 2025 💜💜 his dual roles and costumes- very shuai. The way he just SLIDES IN just to save her- haha so good.
I’m trying to think of other things I like… nope sorry just the one! Haha., in the end, I was just skipping quite a lot just to finish it.
2) oh - the music and background sound effects were great! In fact, I think it enhanced the drama and made it way better.

All in all, not a great watch for me. But maybe it will be to your liking 🤷🏻‍♀️
