Was This Good? Maybe?
Another drama from Huang Jun Jie! I was really excited for this one at first because I love both Huang Jun Jie and Hankiz, but honestly… it didn’t fully meet my expectations. Still, it turned out to be a decent and enjoyable watch.
The plot was easy to predict — especially figuring out who the prince was and who the immortal was. But I did get surprised when the real Xue He Xu appeared. I seriously thought there wouldn’t be a real one at all, that it was just him pretending.
The romance part, though… felt a bit flat for me. Xue He Xu suddenly falling for Feng Zuo Ren was giving “huh??” because I didn’t really see the buildup or the turning point where his feelings grew — aside from the childhood connection, and even then he had his memory lost. So the falling-in-love arc didn’t hit as much as it could’ve.
And the biggest surprise? I didn’t expect this to be a comedy at all. The trailer looked so serious and dramatic, but the drama turned out to be way more unserious and goofy. Not complaining though because Gu Qian Fu was hilarious, and I didn’t expect to love Yan Zi Xian in this kind of role either.
Overall, it’s a fine drama. Not my style and not exactly memorable for me, but definitely watchable if you enjoy light comedy and fun characters. Even if it wasn’t for me, it might be perfect for you!
