An Interesting Story That Lost Its Direction

This drama had an interesting concept and a strong start, but weak writing and inconsistent character development prevented it from reaching its full potential. While it was enjoyable in parts, especially because of the male lead and the fantasy premise, the story became slow and less engaging toward the end.

Character and Acting

Xiao Wudi (Chen Zhe Yuan)
Xiao Wudi was easily the highlight of the drama. He is intelligent, manipulative, and emotionally complex, and his gradual character growth was the most compelling part of the story. Chen Zhe Yuan did an excellent job portraying both his cunning nature and emotional vulnerability. His performance carried the drama.

Nan Xing (Shen Yue)
Nan Xing was introduced as a strong athlete, but her character felt inconsistent. She switched between being independent and helpless depending on the scene. Shen Yue did fine overall, but some emotional scenes lacked depth. Her athlete backstory and trauma were not explored properly and felt unnecessary.

Lu Zi Chen (Luo Ming Jie)
Lu Zi Chen was a soft, flawed, and somewhat childish character. His awkwardness and emotional confusion made him realistic and occasionally funny. Luo Ming Jie portrayed him well and brought charm to the role.

Ye Qing (Qu)
Ye Qing was calm, independent, and supportive. She was one of the more stable and well-written side characters. Qu delivered a solid and convincing performance.

Supporting characters
Nan Xing’s mother stood out the most among the supporting cast. The second and third couples were interesting but lacked proper development and screen time.


The Good

• Xiao Wudi’s character and Chen Zhe Yuan’s performance
• Strong and interesting fantasy concept
• Fluffy and entertaining early episodes
• Male lead falling first was refreshing
• No frustrating or dragged love triangles
• Some emotional and heartwarming moments
• Strong supporting characters like Ye Qing and Nan Xing’s mother

The Average

• Main romance had sweet moments but uneven chemistry
• Second lead couples were interesting but underdeveloped
• Comedy was present early on but disappeared later
• Fantasy elements and powers were underused
• Workplace and side plots lacked realism

The Bad

• Weak and inconsistent writing, especially for the female lead
• Nan Xing’s character felt poorly developed and inconsistent
• Confusing identity and novel plot elements
• Slow pacing and boring final episodes
• Emotional impact weakened toward the end
• The last part of the drama felt unnecessary and confusing

This drama had a lot of potential and started off strong, but poor writing and inconsistent character development held it back. Chen Zhe Yuan’s performance as Xiao Wudi was the biggest strength and the main reason to continue watching. It was enjoyable in parts, but not memorable enough to revisit.
