Season 2 please! Same cast!
This was a blast. I enjoyed watching something so different from the usual dramas I watched in 2024 - I loved all the characters, the underlying messages of being sincere and incorruptible, and the ridiculous family. I enjoyed the bit of romance because I thought they were cute when they were together. I thought the acting was great by everyone, and will never understand the Dylan Wang hate. He tries all sorts of things, which I admire in a performer, and I enjoy watching him on screen.I like silly humor, case solving, fantasy world building types of stories. If you start and it seems too silly, you should try watching longer. It keeps having funny scenes, but the story itself isn’t silly.
My only complaint: I want a season 2 as the story lost focus for a bit and there are way too many unfinished storylines. Because the source material is looooooonnnnnnnngggggggg, they obviously needed to cut the story down to drama size. I think just focusing on the Guardians, the case solving, the family and world building would have easily filled 40 episodes. The wizard cult stuff could be explored in a season 2.

Love the actors, but…ugh
Others have covered this so I’ll just add: I adore both actors. Who in the world would waste the chemistry, charm and comedic chops these two have with such a poorly done drama. I love a stupid romance - I can’t tell you how many are in my favorites list. I don’t hate the cold CEO stereotype. I love the “girl reporter” characters in ridiculous old American movies. With those elements and these two actors, this could have been a really fun watch. For me, it was not. So watch if you love one or both actors, ignore the story and just zoom about staring at their gorgeousness!Was this review helpful to you?
