Looks like the last 3 episodes were drama for the sake of drama. Also, it wasn't properly explained why that woman villain had so much hate for the Hong family to go as far as trying to kill kids. I mean, she not being treated well by the Chairman's children isn't enough reason to have such hate. Also, I thought he was probably her son's father or maybe the family was responsible for her jail time, but none of that was mentioned. So, they made her super evil to create drama. SMH! Even the son's obsession was over-exaggerated for drama's sake. Phew! I was emotionally invested just to be let down (all the tears I shredded were for this???) Anyway, I am glad it has ended.
Very grown-up series. I enjoyed it even with its flaws. I love when C-dramas aren’t just idol based with grown characters acting like teenagers. Thanks to Avenuex for the recommendation. In as much as I like C-dramas that are costume based, good modern dramas are very useful in understanding and improving Chinese language. Another good thing about this drama is it focused on the female characters and they remained the focus until the end. Not making it all about romance. It’s nice they were able to stick to their theme.
After entertaining me for 11 episodes, it didn’t do justice with the last episode. They should have told more of the story and less on special effects 🤣
Finally finished this. A 10 for me! Regardless of whatever little loopholes it had, it’s worth an absolute 10 😀. Beautiful slice of life drama. It didn’t even show perfection. The world isn’t a perfect or fair place. Example: (little spoiler)
I liked how they suddenly didn’t make Sheng Yao have low marks just to prove the 5 students improved. He still surpassed all of them showing someone who’s smart, will always be smart regardless. And the world isn’t perfect or fair.
Also the divorce, & no relationship showed that childhood sweetheart doesn’t mean you have to be together permanently or even actually get together.
I think it’s pretty good and interesting. AvX can be inconsistent with her views. I’m not a fan of CGI monsters…
Yes, I follow her too. I acknowledge it’s her channel, it was I mentioned human bias playing a role sometimes in her reviews. I agree! We always need to checkout dramas ourselves then form our own opinion 😊

Exactly! The CGI is even better than expected (with how she described it, I had low expectations). I find her inconsistent too. But, I guess humans are ultimately ruled by their bias. They put quite a bit of thought to the drama.
I still felt she had a connection with LBFD, because how she praised it and then demonised other dramas with even better acting and cinematography was very contradicting.
I’m actually taken aback by this drama. I love the suspense and mystery. I also just kept clicking the next button just to find out what happened. It’s really interesting.
I heard it first from Avenuex. Although she was criticising the CGI. But I actually find it pretty good. It’s a whole lot better than other dramas she would praise the CGI (hint: Love between Fairy and Devil 🤭).
Bonus point: good actors and Huang Xuan is fantastic as usual.
The actress playing Cheng YuShan has really improved acting wise. I couldn’t stand her in the drama, Perfect and Casual. But, I realised that drama was in 2020 and she was so much younger (about 20/21 years then). She embodies the character she plays here so well. Maybe because this is also a much more serious role and doesn’t need to act all cutesy.
12 episodes in and my verdict: Amazing 🤩. I do hope they give me a satisfactory ending. Don’t muddle this up CREW members 😩. Prove me wrong that C-dramas often ruin great dramas with terrible endings.
WOW! Just wow! All 24 episodes made me so happy. It was a momentary escape place for me from life's realities. I will miss all the joy it brought to me. Definitely over a 10/10 rating for me. I will give it a 20/10 if possible
I’m in love with this drama. It instantly lifts my mood. Ever episode so far has kept me laughing. I can’t believe it’s a Chinese drama that is such a wonderful comic relief.
