AHhhh I went into this for my queen Zhang Jingyi, in the beginning I didn't really like her that much but after a few shows she just kinda grew on me. Anyways, about Blossoms in Adversity, at least it didn't force me to keep watching and it was an enjoyable ride albeit a little flat. I had no problem keeping on watching, but there was nothing really urging me to go on most of the time. At some point in the middle I actually rested the drama for a day which is quite unlike me. Putting that aside, I loved the character development of the Hua family and the main couple of Hua Zhi and Gu Yanxi (Hu Yitian) was a nice match, but in my opinion I LOVED the little romance going on with Shao Yao and Shen Huan sm. It was just so sweet and wholesome, and I loved Lu Yuxiao's encapsulation of Shaoyao, she captured the innocence and "vibe" of her perfectly. I think I'm becoming a fan after My Journey to You and Perfect Match. Ok wait, I just came back from looking into Lu Yuxiao's profile on MDL. I am shellshocked. She has acted in so many dramas that I've watched yet didn't notice it was the same actress! Like The Longest Promise and Love you Seven Times which is a favourite of mine. OMG wow! Moving on, Blossoms in Adversity is a nice, free drama. I especially appreciated how they didnt knock up a huge fuss about him being the Commander of the Security Bureau or whatever, and that Hua Zhi wasn't bratty or temperamental about so many things that in other dramas, she would have. Overall, a solid 8.5.
