This drama gives me plenty of feels. Feel-good, that is. Am only at episode 12 but just want to say that so far this is such a well-crafted drama made with, dare I say, love. The actress, new to me, who’s playing the FL gives just the right amount of adorable, without any cringe. She knows when to pull back - a solid 10. Zhou Yi Ran, the ML who I’ve only seen before in Falling Into Your Smile, also successfully conveys his “aloofness as a defence” without appearing cold. Another solid 10. The supporting cast are fab. The OST also a thumbs up. Can’t wait to watch the rest of the episodes.

Thanks so much! Don’t know why I couldn’t post the link :-(. I just finished the novel. I have panda eyes from reading nonstop. The drama was a heavily adapted version but the main characters of YY and WZ were pretty true to it. I have gained even more appreciation for the screenwriter - not easy to turn the original source into something people will watch on screen.

Great cast, great production. The main leads are so good together. Fun, easy watch -recommend!

I tried to type in the link but I'm not allowed to for some reason. @Acrylic , perhaps you can please provide the link? Thank you!

I’m only at chapter 23 out of 200, still very early in the story. Agree that the screenwriter is quite masterful.

I don’t understand the hate either. I haven’t watched TEOTM but I was watching Back From The Brink when I started on Beauty of R. BFTB is definitely a much more well-made production - if only the team that did the editing could have done the same for B of R which has been entertaining in spite of the poor editing. Yes the plot makes big jumps which has us audiences scratching our heads. As some commenters say, it can get a bit too fast paced. One of the biggest issues is the uneven pacing. Some parts they are sprinting, some parts they need to speed it up 🤣

I agree! I think the ML showed his acting skills in the past life as CY. Gave me a whole new appreciation of him as an actor.

I’m hooked on this drama. The story’s got enough twists and turns to keep me watching so much so that I started reading the web novel it’s adapted from. The drama is a lot different from what I’ve read so far. But now I can imagine the actors’ faces when I read! I love Fiction Guo and Kiku in this - they are both wonderful eye candy. I’ve never watched anything by either actor before, they are both new to me. It’s such a pity that the editing of this series is so horrible, a real hatchet job to squeeze so much story into 36 episodes. I think the acting is decent, and I love the OST, including the background music (anyone has a link to the BGM, please?). Let’s hope it’s a HE even if it’s bound to be an abrupt one. Why is it that so many cdramas start out so well and then falter in the later part?
