“Nothing can bind me. It’s just a cage. I’ll dismantle it.”
Pros-
1. Luo Ling Yu-
She is confident, clever, witty, independent and highly optimistic. She knows what she wants and can do anything to achieve that. My girl only wanted freedom for herself and her sister. Some might think she's cold, but I liked that about her. After her parents died, she could only rely on herself even after living with her so-called Aunt and Uncle.
Despite her past, she stayed true to herself. She also raised her little sister with those same values. She bows to no one, but would give her life for her sister in a heartbeat. Their bond is amazing. Her friendships with Yang Ling, Princess Tang, and Prince Heng Yang are the best. Each friendship is unique and they always help her when she needs it.
From having no one to rely on to being surrounded by the most protective people. She came a long way!
2. Lu Yun-
He is such a sweetheart and a green flag. His protectiveness and jealousy both are very cute. He's the type who would do anything for you if he wanted to.
Ling Yu and Lu Yun both lost their parents. But, she never had a loving family like he did afterwards. She only had herself and her little sister. That's why she does not ask for help. Lu Yun is ready to risk it all for her, even if she denies his help a thousand times.
He slowly fell in love with her kindness.
Their chemistry was the most beautiful part. It is not like other cliche romance dramas. Their cute fights will make you fall in love with them. Despite having issues with each other, they will do anything to protect each other when the situation calls for it.
Her chasing him not knowing his real identity in the first half and him chasing her after knowing everything about her in the second half was just so beautifully shown.
3. Prince Heng Yang-
He is funny, smart, charming, kind and protective. Another green flag. I really wanted him to end up with someone in the end, but it didn't happen.
The bromance was so good. Him getting jealous over a nickname was so adorable.
He has become one of my favorite second leads. His excitement and happiness over little things were so cute!
The friendship dynamics of this drama are very good.
4. Luo Yun Hua(Little sister)
She is so cute and kind. She may be small, but she's wise. Big sister has nurtured her with love. I can totally see the good upbringing. I love how she does everything her sister says but If she feels something is wrong then she will definitely not be afraid to speak about it. She gets the boldness from her big sister. I truly admire their bond. She stole the show for me.
5. Fan Qing Chen-
He played a very good villain. He made me want to slap him in the second episode only. I hated him so much for his actions but I loved the writing of this character. I love how they just made him obsessed with her rather than giving it the same old reason that I see in most of the dramas. He just wanted her as a possession. Nothing more nothing less. He still creeps me out. And that's how I know that the actor nailed the role.
6. Another good thing about this drama which makes it to so special is the side characters of this drama. All the women in this drama were strong in their own way. This is the first drama in which I have seen Prince and Princess in positive roles. Each character had important roles to fulfil individually. I really liked Prince Changyi and Yang Ling’s love story.
Cons-
1. The last few episodes were rushed. They could have shown the war better. Maybe they could have made another season, like Love Like the Galaxy.
2. The plot got repetitive after a few episodes.
3. The physical intimacy wasn't great!
One of my favorite quotes from the drama-
“If good deeds are forced, they become burdens.”
Despite having its own flaws, this drama aced in a light-hearted rom-com. Would I recommend it? Absolutely, yes.
