It is not a bad drama, but totally not my style. The story was quite boring for me, it felt just like watching rich successful smart people enjoy their lives (with a few terrible events). Sometimes it works, sometimes not. And this time it didn't. It is not about the actors (I like many of them), but the script and story development which didn't work for me.
Especially, since the whole skiing trip and then the engineering stuff was too fancy/unrealistic for me (I know how to ski and being myself an engineer this didn't work for me). There are dramas were these are portrait more realistic and more entertaining.
That being said, I don't think I will ever rewatch this drama again.

One of my beloved xianxia dramas

This is one of the dramas which I can recommend to others. I had quite high expectations for this drama and it delivered. Sometimes the CGI was a bit funny, but more often it was done so well. Also, I have enjoyed the costumes, soundtrack, story line, everything.

Spoiler
I appreciate the acting when both FL and ML characters switch! Many times you don't see it in the acting, but both of them played it so well! I was laughing so much :)
I don't enjoy the trope of one of the character dying even though we know that this character will come back at some point, but that' my only complain.

I quite liked this drama, but I am giving some minus points for the story. I didn't like that much the FL character (I like Esther Yu, I think she acts really well), the way she was written, some of her reactions give me "pick me girl" vibe sometimes and I didn't like that.

Spoiler
I didn't mind the break up, but the way how the FL was lying about getting married, then generating the wedding invitation with AI (like excuse me it was so obvious, the image quality of that "photo" was so bad), was cringe. At this point I was speed watching and skipping a bit, the ending could have been a bit shorter.
