What a circus!
First off, let me comment on the actors. Finn Han really looks a lot like Zhang Ruoyan and is such a talented kid. Ruoruo is such a wise sister. Ruoyan's bangs make him look like an old lady 😅 Glad he ditched that hairdo at the second half. His character and personality here is very similar to Sword Snow Stride.
After finishing it, I finally understood why some people gave a low rating. If I had watched this early and there was no season 2 yet, I'd probably vent about the ending too. All the plot twists and turns amounted to nothing with the way season 1 ended. The concept seems a bit similar to the Truman Show.
So this drama is divided into two parts: the first part being in Nanqing and the second part being in Beiqi.
The first half was entertaining and what really kept it going was wanting to find out the answer to all the mysteries and why FX was being favored by the higher ups. Only the first part had some sort of romantic element, which wasn't really anything fantastic mainly because she was weak and sickly. FL didn't appear at the second half anymore, which became a bit mundane and didn't really appreciate the filler episodes just to let some of the characters show some "cuteness". I agree with a lot of the comments that FX had more chemistry with Haitang. Wonder if she'll still be in season 2. So the mysteries were unfolded in the second half and some parts made no sense, especially the parts about FX's mother. So many unanswered questions about her still. Also, Uncle Wuzhu just disappeared without any explanation too. I'd be really frustrated if I didn't know there's another season.
