Ok after seeing some other reviews I seem to be in the minority who gave this show a 9.5 where the others I'm seeing average a seven. Oops I guess? Idk why they didn't like it, but for me it was great. After seeing Liu Xueyi in Kill Me Love Me and am planning to watch Blossom after, including Meng Ziyi, I thought why not? Plus, this was recommended to me by someone. I usually stay away from shows rated below an 8 on MDL, having faced too many disappointments (cough cough Everyone Loves Me, Ski into Love) but this was a real shock to me. I loved the relationship between Shen Zaiye and Jiang Taohua, and how well both of them clicked. The only thing I was worried about was the ending. Everything was going all well until episode 34 where I realized that rat of an empress wasn't dead and started worrying about the ending. I hate those mysterious ahh "open endings" aka humungous cliffhangers, e.g. the male lead is in despair as the FL sees her twin along with a faceless black clothed figure and gives no explanation whatsoever and ends the show with no season 2 in sight (yes i'm still mad, cough cough My Journey to You) but luckily it was solid. However, when bro appeared next to her at the end: was that a vision or reality bc help tf? But at least my bro didn't die and mysteriously reappear in the last 5 secs of the last episode like I've seen so many do. At least there's a possibility they got their happy ending. Really good, I recommend. (p.s. do you not think Gao Han and Bian Cheng literally look like twins. They literally are true dopplegangers, if you told me they were real twins I would believe you)
