I seem to have watched this already lol and completely forgotten it, as so many familiar scenes kept happening, literally getting Deja Vu the entire time.TBH, it was great at the start, then started to feel like a chore, but the last 3 episodes brought it back up for me! The plot really picked up and delivered as best as it could. Episode 23 was very heartfelt and answered the question I was asking myself for so long. "How did she get lost?"
The FL was confusing to watch tbh, one minute she's smart and cheeky, the next she's dumb and annoying?? Her bracelet arc was also very interesting, and to see her just break it in the end for a man?? Like, surely she knows that's a keepsake from her mum?? Also, very random that this bracelet gave them powers, but no explanation?
WHY did we not get shown the conversation where he reveals his true identity to her? I also wish they had shown us the Emperor acknowledging his sister! What a waste, man. Also, them talking about being broke at the end is laughable, as she's literally a princess and tbh has nothing to do with the Duke.
Another unnecessary plot device was mentioning Fugai having a brother with a neck mark, and it being the orphan boy at the shrine. (even though they gave them that cute montage before he died)
Guess that's what we get for short drama's however, for a short drama, it was still pretty good and one of the better written ones I've seen.

thoroughly enjoyed this, and the cute appearance of the couple from Plus & Minus was cute. I noticed Yuki from the other couple, did he not get a happy ending in that show? (I never finished it lol)Anyway my thoughts, the main thing that bothered me was Zongyi being 17 and Ze Rui being 25, they could have had his birthday before them being intimate, which I know wouldn't have worked for the prison arc. Another thing that annoyed me is it felt like Zongyi lost a lot while Ze Rui gained. He gained a supportive brother, a good position in the family business, and freedom from the 'Fan' family. He gained a supportive secondary family while Zongyi not only spent 4 years in jail going through what we could only imagine but got injured which led to lifelong complications of short-term memory and his academic future. I know I should look at it this way but I hate when one partner in the relationship suffers more, especially considering the large age gap, you would think the older one would be the protector when it's the other way with the couple.
I am also new to all actors in this drama and feel like Hsu Kai's acting felt a bit off to me. Also when he was doing the kissing scenes and his eyes were open, I felt uncomfortable watching loool. Taro Lin did amazing considering this is the oly work that he's been in wow. In the second couple Nat Chen had the stronger acting for me. Overall i thing the acting wasn't the best for the drama, but the plot saved it for me as it was fresh.
That being said, I didn't skip any scenes, which is a major achievement as lately I have struggled with shows. it kept me engaged throughout, and I had sweat moments. The second couple was also a treat to watch, and I don't believe I've watched any one of Nat Chen's works before, but I am a fan now.
Also, the little twist towards the end was a great add tbh, and loved the shock value. lastly, I wish there was just a bit more about the relationship with the older couple.
