Only if the writer was more committed to her work .. ??.
This drama left me in a very confusing state of mind… I honestly don’t know how to process it. First off... the whole “traveling to a virtual game world” thing? .... Great... except after episode one, that part is completely ignored. One and only mission—get 1000 gold taels—and then… crickets. No side quests, no upgrades, no accessorizing, nada. Basically, why even bother with the game premise if it’s just a classic wuxia story in disguise?
And the ending—writer suddenly remembered, “Oh crap, FL was supposed to be in a game!”—and yanks her back to the real world in the most abrupt way possible. Pathetic writing, honestly.
I can handle brutal cliffhangers, but this one? Left me mildly traumatized.
And our ML’s backstory? Never really showed up....His Family, home—just kind of… absent...whereas FL’s family drama? A bit repetitive, same characters creating similar mess again and again ..like a classic case of “rinse and repeat”. Not a disaster, but definitely a missed chance to make things feel fuller. Maybe writer thought 26 episodes are just too less to address FL family mess let alone giving a glance of ML background.
Cast:
Joseph Zheng: Absolutely lovely and effortlessly handsome as always. His character, even with all the secrets, felt light and straightforward—less messy, less layered (exactly the type that's suits him perfectly)... And He really nailed it.
Tian Xiwei: My absolute doll 😍 Can’t help but love her. As usual, she’s playful, sweet, and totally adorable. Her character is such a perfect mix of charm, intelligence, kindness, caring, and all-around goodness. Just sunny sunny ..
Their chemistry is okay-ish nothing fireworks worthy.
Side cast : the entire cast did a great job ... You can totally tell their acting talent is superb seperately from the weak writing ...I mean even though the characters felt a bit annoying at times but the level of performance these artists gave, will make one praise them endlessly.
Styling and aesthetics are normal wuxia friendly..
Music is good I loved the ending track and background song in Male voice~~~ i think I have heard it before but can't remember where exactly (tell me if you can figure out)
Over all it was watchable..yet I still can't help but think only if the writing were a little better ...only if the plot didn't have this family mess overload ...only if they had given out more about ML background ...only if they'd put some efforts in writing a decent ending .... This drama could have been so much better... I feels sad to see the efforts of this talented cast could not pay off enough.
