thank you, you're so kind 🥰

I respect your opinion. I just started this drama and I do think he’s good… I mean, he’s always been a good actor. It’s just me and my own issues, that’s on me, not him. After all, this drama has been on my list since before it even finished filming. I just needed some convincing to finally watch it. Right now, I’d say I like it. It doesn’t mean his past dramas made me hate him or anything; they just didn’t work for me. Maybe this drama will be the start of me watching his works again.

Actually, there are actors I’m not a huge fan of, but I still watch some of their dramas, no matter how popular they are or whether their acting is good or bad. I usually read comments, reviews, or watch some clips to get more curious before deciding to watch a drama. I just don’t get why my post got attacked. The last drama of his that I watched was Falling Into Your Smile, and I can see that he’s improved, I’ve seen clips from his newer dramas, so I agree with that. I was simply asking for opinions in this page and this community, and I still got attacked?

If some people got offended by what I said about their favourite actor, I’m sorry, but my opinion is valid to me just like theirs is valid to them. Instead of attacking me and I'm not saying this to you btw, it would be more helpful to tell me about the CGI, the acting, the plot, or the chemistry, because that was my intention in the first place when I asked here.

What is wrong with you ? Calling me weird while taking time out of your day to comment on my post is wild. You clearly care a lot more than you want to admit.
Anyway, this isn’t worth another second of my time. I’ve said what I needed to say, and that’s that.
I’m blocking you now, and of course you don’t fckn care too right ? I don’t need your attitude or your negativity anywhere near my posts. I don’t get like why am I asking some opinions get twisted into something like this? Bet you live such a pathetic life

Yeah, hopefully they will ✊🏻 the obsession I have now is not healthy for me, help…what do you mean I’ve been watching their videos all day long 🤧

Okay, I want to clarify a few things because my words have clearly been misinterpreted. First, I never blamed Xu Kai for anything, nor did I say the drama is bad because of him. When I said I personally don’t click with his acting style, that was purely a statement of my own taste based on his previous dramas, it is not a judgment of his overall ability or of the character in this drama. I understand that an actor might do great in one drama but not resonate with me in another, and that is usually due to factors like the character, the story, the plot, directing, or camera work, not the actor alone. I am not the type of person who blames an actor for this. My comment about his acting being a bit bland was literally just my impression of his style, which is why I’ve struggled to finish some of his past dramas, and not an attack on him as an actor.

I was asking about the plot, chemistry, and character development of this drama simply because I’m curious, not to start a lecture or debate about acting. Mentioning an actor when asking about a drama is normal, and it does not make anything personal, nor does it assign blame to the actor. Your repeated statements that I am making this personal or blaming Xu Kai are a misinterpretation. I never said the drama is bad because of him, and I never accused him of failing in any way. I am aware of character development, which is why I was interested in the drama’s plot and chemistry, exactly the information I was asking about.

I was genuinely interested in watching this drama, and I was just asking for information to see if it might appeal to me. Your response twisted my words and made it seem like it was my fault for even asking, which is unfair. I just wanted to make that clear, and with that, I’m done discussing this and thank you for replying before.

Yeah, I know Xu Kai has a huge fanbase and he’s really popular, and I get why his dramas do really well and a lot of people love his acting. It’s just that I’ve tried a few of his shows before and couldn’t finish any of them. No hate at all, he just might not click with me personally. That’s why I was asking for more details about the plot, chemistry, acting and everything. I really do think different actors resonate differently with each of us. Some feel great to watch, some just don’t hit as much

Someone convince me to watch this, please. How’s the plot? does it get boring? How about the chemistry and the acting? Tbh, I’m not really a fan of Xu Kai’s acting... I find him a bit bland… but I’d love to give it a try for Tian Xiwei.

8/10! The acting is superb, and the chemistry is chef’s kiss. Even though I haven’t been in the mood to watch dramas for who knows how long, this one is really good. I cried at every single thing. I love this drama because in most shows of this type, either the ML or FL ends up sacrificing a lot. Yes, I agree the ML sacrifices a bit more than the FL, but they genuinely believe they live and die together, fight together and that’s really nice to watch.

The emotions are a roller coaster, but not the unstable kind. This one feels more balanced: the comedy, the flirting, the romance, the emotional scenes, and always a happy ending. It’s truly satisfying to watch. I love it. I hope I can see more from them, even though it’s rare to get the same actors together again in another series. But still, I love them!

Tbh, I didn’t even want to reply to someone like you, but here I am. I bet you’ll be truly fulfilled for the rest of your life, typing out the same hate comments on repeat like it’s your daily vitamin. 😂 It really seems like you’ve chosen this hobby of hating as your lifelong passion, impressive dedication!

Anyway, never mind, you do you. I honestly don’t care. Just please don’t reply to me again. I could never talk about someone as if I’ve known them my whole life, like I’ve been living rent-free in their house… but hey, that’s clearly your hidden talent.

I know I’ll probably get hate for this, but I honestly don’t understand why people keep comparing her to Bai Lu. Maybe it’s because I knew LYT first before Bai Lu. It just makes me sad that people know her mainly through those comparisons, when she actually has some really good dramas.

My favorites were Bloody Romance and Royal Nirvana. Her acting was amazing in both, she just doesn’t get the hype she truly deserves. She really needs to choose her scripts wisely because she is such a good actress. I was so impressed with her performances in those two dramas.

No hate towards Bai Lu, maybe there are some similarities, but I saw a lot of negative comments comparing them and downgrading LYT, and she doesn’t deserve that at all. She works so hard for herself. Nobody deserves to be constantly compared to someone else; they each have their own journey and their own unique beauty.

Edit: I don’t want to talk to a trash so I blocked Shen li. Don’t want to ruin my eyes seeing her comments. Trash always be a trash right, probably even worse than trash.

The drama itself felt pretty slow at the beginning or maybe I just didn’t fully get the humor. It was funny, but that was about it for me at first. I decided to keep watching a few more episodes, and then it really started to grow on me.

To be honest, yes, the FL does come off as clueless, probably because she had read the script before and thought she already knew the entire plot. That’s why she stuck so strongly to what she believed would happen based on that script. Meanwhile, the ML just played his role naturally without knowing what was real or not, unlike the FL. It was honestly painful to watch him get hurt like that…

But overall, the drama definitely grew on me.... the acting, the story, everything.

After watching the latest episodes, I finally feel ready to comment. To be honest, I don’t usually enjoy this type of drama, maybe my sense of humor just doesn’t match it. There are a few other dramas with a similar concept that I managed to finish, but I ended up skipping a lot, and it’s the same with this one.

For me, the drama was just okay… until the latest two episodes. I started liking it more and really paid attention when things began to shift and felt different from the script she had read before. Since I already decided to give it a try, I might as well stick it out until the end. Hopefully, it keeps getting better!

True… but I also noticed a lot of comments saying she looks or sounds like Bai Lu. Personally, I don’t really see it... she’s always like this too. Maybe it’s just because she’s not as popular as Bai Lu, so some people aren’t as familiar with Li Yitong yet.

I can’t remember every detail, but I’d say the plot moves steadily without big gaps, so you’re less likely to feel bored. It might not have major events in every episode, but there’s always something happening to keep it going. Just give it a bit more time and be patient, I tried not to fast forward when I watched it before, and I’m glad I didn’t. The twist near the end was totally worth the patience I held throughout!

Probably going to get some hate for this, but I used to skip the FL’s dramas, her acting just didn’t click with me personally, which is more about my own preferences than anything else. That said, since Wang Anyu is in this one, I’m definitely thinking of giving it a try once it’s out. I’m excited to see him in a high production drama, he truly deserves it.

P.S. No hate to Esther at all. Nothing I said here is meant to be hateful. Just sharing my personal thoughts, but I know some fans might take it the wrong way.

Watching this drama was more of a slow burn for me, but I’d still give it a solid 8. It’s not the kind of genre I usually go for, and to be honest, I wasn’t a big fan of the ML at first….though I know a lot of people here are! But the story really surprised me, and the acting was genuinely good.

There weren’t really any episodes that bored me, although I’d say some were just okay. I might get some hate for saying that, hahah. I’m not sure if I’ll ever rewatch it… maybe one day. You know those dramas that are so good, you don’t rewatch them, but they stay with you for years? That’s how this one feels for me. The last time I felt this way was with JOY 1, which was phenomenal at the time.

All in all, this was a good drama, definitely memorable. I might even start checking out more of the ML’s dramas after this.

It’s a pretty huge reveal, but not entirely shocking. I picked up on a few clues along the way, so I kind of saw it coming. Still, it did hit me at one point. Was it deep? Not really. They didn’t dive too deeply into it, but the explanation was there, mostly through a conversation between him and his mom.

The drama is quite short, so I understand why they didn’t explore the FL’s and ML’s pasts or traumas in more depth. Personally, I would’ve preferred if they had gone deeper into their backstories, so it would’ve made the story feel more grounded and relevant. But at the same time, I’m kind of glad they didn’t overload it with too much drama. This series feels more like a palette cleanser after watching something heavy…it’s light enough to enjoy without getting too stressed by complex plots.

It’s a slow-paced drama with no real kiss scenes, only fake ones. The actress, in my opinion, acts quite naturally, though it might not come across that way to everyone. If you’re able to finish it once you start, you’ll begin to understand why her character is written the way she is. I personally enjoyed it, just like some others here, but of course, not everyone feels the same.

If you’re into fast-paced, heavy-plot xianxia dramas, then this might not be for you. It’s more subtle than emotionally driven action-packed.

Considering that on Douban, good idol dramas usually around a 7 rating, I think this one actually did a pretty good job. It might not be perfect, but it holds up well especially when you realize that some even more popular dramas only get around 5+ ratings despite having way more users rating them. So yeah, it’s probably not fair to directly compare, but this one isn’t so bad after all.

Of course, the drama does lack in quite a few areas particularly in the writing, execution, direction, and editing. Still, all things considered, it’s a pretty decent watch overall. it's still good for me, like I'm obsess with them

I actually started watching this drama years ago, but back then I was just watching it out of boredom..... so I kind of fast forwarded through almost everything. I even rewatched it a few times without really paying much attention… until yesterday. I finally gave it a proper watch, and I didn’t expect to end up crying so much. It’s really good. I especially love the scenes where the FL and ML fight side by side and the OST adds so much emotion to those moments.

As for Suying… gosh, that character. She plays the victim all the time. She has major main character syndrome, selfish, obsessive, and clearly dealing with serious mental issues. She always thinks she’s right and everyone else is wrong, constantly blaming Tian Yao for literally everything in her life. Like, seriously, none of it was his fault. And even at the end of her life, she’s still wishing him harm? What is wrong with her?

Anyway, despite all that, I really loved this drama. Solid 8/10 for me.
