Mmcheh

I like stories like this that challenge the conventional way of life. It really test the boundaries of our imagination and test the skills of the script writers too. It isn't an easy task bringing up topics such as a young man falling in love with a much older woman , afterall, not everyone is President Macron!

I think this drama helps easing the taboo of dating a much older woman. It questions our status quo of today's world where it is totally ok for men to date girls who are 10 years younger, but when it comes to women doing the same with men 10 years younger , it becomes the fault of the women.

The two protagonists did well in bringing out this drame. Would definitely recommend this drama.

Fantastic Periodic Drama

Love this drama. So funny, witty and the rhythm is really good. It is not draggy. The part that I find most amazing is the number of casts they included in this drama. It must be really expensive to portray so many characters of the book. The production team didn't save money on this and I was so impressed. THey did the casting really well as well, none of the actors and actresses looked cheapskate (you wld find this in some low budget drama where they would cast really badly on the badguys)

The story is so amazing as well, so much of intricacy moments all intertwined together, like a big jigsaw puzzle. I had to go to Youtube to search a few synopsis to understand the relationship between all the events. So glad that the scriptwriters managed to write the scenes well, or else, it would have been so difficult to understand.

I have only 1 complaint. They left us hanging on the last episode. It's really crappy to be watching a drama that paces so quickly and suddenly to be hit by a last episode that hang half way. I should have waited for S2 to come out before watching this.

I hope in the next season, they will feature Yuan Quan more prominently (the professor) I love her acting. She is that kind of actress that carries so much complexity on her. Definitely more than meet the eyes.

The set is so cheesy. Too much of gold gilded props and they aren't refined. Looks rough and cheap (sorry). Donghua's white hair looks too stiff, like not natural. Casting is only so so, costume also only so so.

Rhythm is so slow, not much to look forward to.. Gave up after 6 episodes mainly becoz it's unattractive to the eyes and this is despite the fact that I love the couple Dilraba and Vengo and I was a big fan of Eternal Love (Yang Mi and Mark Chao).

I am guessing I am disappointed with the production team. Feels like it's not a drama for international market.
