Masterpiece
The leads were truly out of the ordinary, not the usual kind, not clichéd, and without a patriarchal pattern. Yet, they remained incredibly strong, distinctive, and undeniably cool, with chemistry that went through the roof.
The drama featured all kinds of side characters, each making the watch even more interesting. They weren’t just there for the sake of it; they had their own arcs and developed as characters. No one felt one-dimensional, they were real, essential, and added to the plot as they should.
The angst and tension were definitely present, though I felt the villain was a bit lacking. However, the well-executed angst helped overshadow that shortcoming.
When it came to chemistry, it wasn’t just about the leads, everyone had chemistry with everyone, and it worked so well!
The concept and idea were amazing! What I loved most was that this was a story about a female protagonist, and no character could take that away from her. She remained the focal point, as she should be. The female lead was incredible, and the spotlight was rightfully hers.
The characters did develop, but for the most part, the leads stayed true to themselves without a major "I changed for the better" moment. Furong though had the best character development and I actually appreciated that a lot.
The pacing, structure, script, and dialogues were simply chef’s kiss! Absolutely nothing to complain about there.
The OSTs and BGM were fantastic, and the cinematography was breathtaking, the world felt so lively and real. The casting was also spot-on.
And I really, really loved the ending. Wrapping it up with an episode full of comedy and heartwarming moments was genius. One of the most underrated aspects of this drama was its comedy, it truly glued the characters and the overall storyline together.
I cried, I laughed, and I felt every moment of this drama, I am truly grateful for it. This was a truly beautiful watch that I will never forget. I will miss Shen Li, Xingzhi, and every character in it. What a masterpiece! 🥰
