Underrated series and really good acting!

I honestly have been wanting to watch this drama for a long time and are a sucker for Cheng Lei’s dramas! I’ve watched Song Yi before in Destined but I didn’t think her acting really stood out then but her acting her is really good and she’s so cute I love her smiling expressions! I’m so glad to have come across some clips of Jinan cuz if not I wouldn’t have known about this drama as it wasn’t heavily marketed! I feel like it was honestly bad timing cuz it clashed with Legend of the Female General (another one of Cheng Lei’s dramas) and I remember it started fan wars and it was way more popular than this drama at the time but I honestly prefer this drama cuz I absolutely love the contrast between the goofy Jinan and serious Duang Aodeng! I loved the start to the middle when Jinan was still in Lu Cheng! They were a lot of funny moments especially with the female guards and Jinan! I wish they could have done more with them towards the end :( The acting was really good and I especially loved the fighting sequences, the kiss scenes were good but I wish they had done more with it! The early episodes when Li Shuang was still opening up to Jinan were really well done as it felt very natural! Towards the middle to end I felt like the king arch was lacking something, They could have done something more with the villain queen as well as it felt incomplete with her ending. There wasn’t much goal and it was pretty cliche with the King. The ending was nice with Shuang Er and Jinan holding hands and having their own lives away from their duties for good but I felt like they could have had a reunion with their families and friends. (Maybe it’s just me lol) I like the part where they took care of the little kids of their friend but it went by too fast! It’s not the worst ending in the whole of Chinese dramas but it honestly could have been better. I feel like when Jinan gain back his memories it became less interesting and intense and kind of went flat. Oh and my fave scene is them sitting on the cherry blossom tree kissing! (So romantic!!) The theme songs on the other hand, are really nice to listen! I’ve been listening to some of them on repeat! Overall, I definitely would recommend this drama but if you are looking for more of a dramatic, fast paced, revenge plot historical chinese drama this might not be for you!

Cute and fluffy but not much plot

I personally really liked it! It didn’t really have a plot but just cuteness overall! If you like comedy, fluffy bl you would enjoy this a lot! The actors were good considering this was most of the actors first drama! I think I’m a bit biased cuz it was an enjoyable watch when I had covid and couldn’t leave my room! I liked the chemistry between the couples but wished they all had more scenes together instead of having them all at one spot towards the end! My favorite couple has to be manni and jiny! They were so cute especially manni she is the cutest!! I wish they had more scenes!! + quite happy at how they weren’t any bad characters! The ending was good and wholesome as we got a beach scene and everyone was happy together but I wish they all confirmed they were dating! They shouldn’t have rushed helping the orphanage scenes because I was expecting maybe we’ll get a jinymanni scene there! Nonetheless I really enjoyed it and it was a good 3 days spent! You should give it a watch if you don’t like heavy plots and like to lean towards more comedy, heartwarming bls!
