Finally completed after the long wait for the last 5 eps. Loved the wedding. Chemistry of the leads was undeniably there. A bit late though, like the official kiss happened arnd ep. 18.
Enjoyed the fight scenes on the last few eps. Overall, gave this a 7.5. Should have given higher if it not for the open ended finale of the ML sleeping. The time travel part made it a bit confusing as well. Plus some loose ends on the supporting characters like Lin Yan and Ning Lan, I also don't remember Wei Qing ending up with Xue Deng. the only couple I'm happy about aside from MC is Xing Yue and Li Mian. I'm happy that she's pregnant towards the end, though the lovey dovey part of the couple has not been showned as far as I remember when Xing Yue dreamed about it. And yeah, Pei Yin's true identity was kinda revealed late. I thought he would end up with Cui since I'm feeling she's into him.
Still, an entertaining drama not to miss.

It is, but with a twist towards the very end.

So, i'm already halfway the drama and still not seeing any progress in terms of romance with the MC. Not even a single kiss or any skinship is happening. On contrary to the good reviews and comments, I think this should have been tagged as slowburn. Am totally here just to see Li hong Yi again. But, i must say, this drama has a pool of goodlooking men.

Currently on ep 17, the pacing is too slow for this drama. Even the romance is so slow. Still not an official couple at this point and it's just 5eps. away. Technically, a love confession happened here, however, ML is dying, so does that love confession makes sense? And yeah, the kiss still isn't happening.

I was able to finish the drama at this point. It's a total drag for me. Story plot isn't much interesting. I was able to hold on till the end because of Hong Yi. So, the kiss happened at arnd ep. 18. Honestly, the kisses were very poorly executed. Seeing Hong Yi in his previous dramas, I know he can execute kisses very well. Overall, gave this a 7 for the happy ending. Still, not my cup of tea.

The first 3 eps felt a bit drag for me, but it went good ep. 4 onwards. Though, it was a flashback, the kiss has begun on the 4th ep. I thought this will be another slowburn, surprisingly I'm enjoying it so far. I'm usually not a fan of slow paced dramas but, I think this would be one of my exceptions.
Just midway, this was supposedly a melodrama but I find lots of funny scenes like everytime the swat team comrades give their tips on having a relationship and that flashback scene when Lu Chen was guarding an office on a winter day and suddenly people came out rushing and keep on sliding into him to the point that he was pushed away from his post. His reaction from serious to devastated from being slide off was totally hilarious.
And yes, I'm rooting for the secondary couple Duan Rou And Qin Min Yu. Qin Ming Yu is another funny character here. Xiao Nan is just so an adorable kid.
Will update towards the end.

I was able to complete the drama at this point. Overall, this is a feel good drama. No major antagonists. No unnecessary break ups since it was literally in the past. Lots of steamy kisses, a major point on that. Very light story plot. Superb chemistry by the leads. First time to watch ML in a drama by the way. He definitely nailed his role. I just find his tone voice always like whisperin'. hehehe Of course, Seven Tan nails her role always just like in Go Ahead & Sword and the Brocade. The only downside for me is the no. of eps. Should have been only around 24eps. It could have ended already after the wedding ceremony. The finale was just a flashback. The tactical trainings should have been just cut, instead I was looking for more sweet moments of the secondary couple including the kid. They should have opted for a double wedding instead.

So, it's a solid 8.5 for me. This is way better than Meet Yourself and You're My Hero in my opinion.

Finally, the long awaited kiss happened at ep. 18 and that magical night for the MC. I just hope the kiss could've been showned a bit longer. Just wondrin' if Yuan noticed Wei Qi's wounds in his body that night or She may have been too drunk to notice. 😁 Another kiss on ep. 20 and yes, the offical love confession came plus the marriage certificate has been released. I've always liked Pei Yin's character from the start. I was kinda hopin' he'll be the love triangle for the MC, but he's actually the cupid for them.
There are just some loopholes in the story that felt kinda skipped. Like, it was not showned how Wei Qi has been treated from the miasma poison and his wounds from falling down the pit. And he has not recovered yet from that Chunyu mind something that he's doing for yuan. Then he suddenly got the energy and was even able to carry Yuan out from the cave. Also kinda confused on Xue Deng's character who's doing the laundry and taking care of Wei Qing's son, instead of leading the sect.
I'm still waiting for Li Mian and Xing Yue's lovey dovey that she dreamt about. I think that didn't happen yet.
Anyways, still looking forward to ep.21 towards the end.

Thank you for the insights. Same feels, after watching ep. 1 I feel like dropping this if it not only for Wang Hedi. It was tagged as Comedy and ep. 1 didn't give a single hint of a funny scene. That's why I was wonderin' how was this tagged as comedy in the first place?
Will try to continue on ep. 2 and hopefully, be able to hold on till the end.
I really appreciate your response. ☺

same thoughts.

Exactly. It was just dragged too long.

Not really. SML liked SFL. And the other SML has been friendzoned immediately.

I'm so not into youth dramas, but decided to check this out because of Liu Yi Chang. I've seen him in other dramas and he's really got that charm that makes you want to see him again. Plus that deep voice. I really liked it a lot. Not a fan of the FL. Seen her in several dramas life Dance of the Sky Empire, Be MY Princess, etc. and yet, I never get to like her as an actress.
This drama started interesting but got draggy for me midway towards the end. I just hate the fact that the reunion between these 2 childhood friends was dragged too long. To the point that the FL have to be hurt several times before the ML would give in. I just hate that. If you truly love and care for someone, not a single moment you will let her be hurt. I think this is another Secoundary couple syndrome for me. I prefer Gu Chen and XiXi couple. The kisses are hotter for them. And I like Gu Chen's character more than the ML. And the dorm mates who are backstabbers ain't really given much punishment. Like, they did bad big time and was just easily forgiven. FL's family wasn't given much attention till the end.
Overall, this is just a 7 for me. I think that's generous enough just to see Liu Yi Chang. And yeah, I prefer him doing mature roles than this. He deserves roles like being a CEO for contemporary or a General for historical dramas.

I decided to check this out given that Wang Hedi is the ML. It's a plus that it's a romcom. However, after watching ep. 1, it's giving me a melodrama vibe and not a romcom at all. I know it's a bit too early, but is this really romcoms?

Thanks for the headsup! really appreciate this. I'm about to continue from ep. 16, however, after reading the romance aspect, definitely, I have to drop.

I was kinda enjoying this till ep. 12. A bit disappointed though, as this turns out to be another slow burn drama. There are just 24 eps and the leads haven't been an official couple yet as of ep. 16. At some point, they were able to convey their feelings, still, I am looking forward to some lovey-dovey scenes from the main leads. I liked the married couple Li Mian and Xing Yue. I prefer their chemistry rather than Ning Lan and Lin Yan.
Second time to watch ML from Poison Love, but I think, I liked him more here. Have seen FL in other dramas, but she just doesn't remind me of any of her roles. I liked that she has good fighting skills here.
Hoping the romance for the main leads kicks in for the 17th ep.

After completing this drama, here are my thoughts. Aside from Wu Lei, I liked the idea that it was a noona romance and yes, I thought it's gonna be something like Falling Into You that definitely made me check this out. Unfortunately, it turned out that this is not my cup of tea. I'm just not a fan of full of talk drama. Like, I do watch drama for entertainment and not to get words to live by. Yes, I just didn't felt the chemistry much on the main leads. Wu Lei had a great chemistry with Zhao Lu Si in Love Like the Galaxy. Same goes with Zhou Yu Tong who had a great chemistry with Simon Gong in Begin Again. I enjoyed both mentioned dramas because of their great chemistry with the said partner. But, this just felt bland for me in terms of chemistry. I was able to hold on till the end because of the supporting couples specially Jiang JJ and Liang Tong. I really liked JJJ's character transformation and how romance unfolded between the 2. And yes, I liked how things ended with them compared to the MC. Of course, I have to mention Coach Yan and Luo Nian couple which added to the secondary couple syndrome of this drama.
Overall, if you're into fiery, more lovey-dovey romance, this ain't the drama for you. Obviously, this ain't the right drama for me either. But, if you just wanna see how cute and hot Wu Lei can be in a sports drama, he definitely nailed the hottest tennis professional player role to watch. Again, Xia Hao Ran is someone to look forward to in his future projects. Awesome actor for a newbie.

Same thoughts. One main reason for this I guess is the lack of skinships and steamy kisses. Falling Into You is much similar to this, but the chemistry of the leads there are way much better. And yes, My Fated Boy is my top fave drama in terms of noona romance.

Eps. 33-34 surely is a secondary couple syndrome. Honestly, I got hooked on this drama because of Jiang JJ. He's such a brilliant actor. Truly deserve a ML role. Undoubtedly, Wu Lei is so hot and cute in this drama but, Xia Hao Ran's character is such a big surprise.

Definitely agree! 😍

Just on ep 32. Again, Jiang JJ never cease to amaze me. Such a responsible and romantic guy. I love Wu Lei, but JJJ nails his romantic moves. that song recorded in a karaoke booth was an ultimate A+ for effort. And yeah, a man firmly decided to get married at the age of 22 saying he may not have anything but he got love. Awww....
Yes, I'm still not happy with the lack of skinships and kisses for this drama. But, I think I'm enjoying the supporting couples more than the leads themselves.

A person cannot choose always what he wants because probably one, you're not really meant for it. You are just persisting to want it even if it's not meant for you that's why it didn't happen or there are certain things to sacrifice for wanting something. Sometimes, people tend to be greedy for wanting something in life. Like, a person dreams of having his/her own family, it was given, Now, after getting a good husband/wife, a good kid...that person would want more like He/She would want to be rich to be able to put your kid in a presitgious school, live in a luxurious village,etc. So, the wanting would never stop eventually from that mere dream of just having a family of your own. Just like here that FL wants her career back, just because she wanted to, for her self satisfaction without thinking the time for her kid would be compromised. It's really just a matter of preference, some parents can do both, but I always believe there's always something that is compromised once you prioritize one thing or another. Like they say, You can't always have the best of both worlds.

I agree on both comments. Falling Into You is way better in terms of kisses and skinships and Yes, on the story pacing too. Been skipping this a lot with mostly draggy scenes. I loved Wu Lei too. He's definitely so hot and cute as SSC, just how he was so hot as well in Love Like the Galaxy. However, I feel like Jiang JJ keeps owning the show specially from eps. 18 onwards. And I'm liking him too for that. He's someone I'm gonna look forward too in dramas. Hopefully as ML too next time.
