✨ How It Felt Watching 💙
🔹 The early episodes are packed with silly humor and fun banter, setting a really upbeat vibe.
🔹 It felt like a breezy cup of tea-sweet, funny, and easy to sip, though not always filling
🔹 The themes of pride, survival, and stubborn romance are evident, although they occasionally become repetitive.
🎭 Cast & Performances
🔹 Lin Yun brought brightness to Lingyu, balancing pride with mischief. However, some felt her performance was superficial.
🔹 Alen Fang brought a delightful blend of playful teasing and gentle restraint to his interactions with Lu Yun. While he had a fun and engaging presence, his role tended to be more about reacting than driving significant change.
🔹 The supporting cast brought some fun and exciting moments!
🎵 OST 🎧
🔹 “Against Heavenly Light (逆天光)” by Ye Xuan Qing
🔹 “Only Wish Only Thought (唯愿唯念)” by Xian Zi
🔹 “Stand Aside (靠边站)” by A YueYue
🔹 “Old Age (白首)” by Chi Yue Han
🎨 Visuals & Production
🔹The sets and garden backdrops in the early episodes provided a refreshing charm.
🔹 The costumes were both stylish and flattering.
🏆 Final Thoughts
🔹 I enjoyed the humor and charm, but the story lost momentum in the middle with easy resolutions. It's fun, but not worth revisiting.
🔹 Would I rewatch? No, but I don't regret the watch either
☕ SpillTheDramaTea's Rating: 7/10 - a plain cup, fine but unremarkable
✏️ As SpillTheDramaTea, it began like enjoying a sweet drink, but the flavor didn't stick around for long!
