Recipe for a successful idol drama- A well assembled production crew

I can't say it's a massive success yet as we're still early on the show. But if this turns out to be one. I'll attribute it mostly to the whole production team especially the director (Zeng Qing Jie) his track record doesn't lie and the scriptwriter. I'm actually watching this coz I'm curious if the director can pull another successful idol drama after Blossom - with a better budget and actors that can act. This will prove that you don't need traffic stars to build a successful drama. All you need is a freaking good story/script and translating that story to your audiences with amazing visuals. It helps that ZLH acting has improved here and TXW is born to play chang yu. Director Zeng skills is amazing at maximizing the visual impact and aesthetic beauty of the leads. The framing (longshot, wide, angle, focus-you name it) of ZLH is almost ethereal ✨️ 😍 💕 and the way he makes him peek at that freaking window is like telling us - we're only allowed that, a sneak peek a bit of a time and no more. The OSTs are decent well placed and not repetitively overused. Characters are introduced properly and not confusingly thrown into the story. Well edited and paced. I can't help harping enough on the impressive cinematography. Director Zeng need to be big and famous enough after this so he can pick and chose his own project and have a say in the production he wants to make. If this happens- it's a win for us fans who love a good show.
