Interesting Change for Romance Dramas
Instantly knew I would enjoy this drama as the cozy vibes are off the scale. While the seasons focus of the drama is a bit cliché, I feel like it suits the message of the drama well.we'll.
Both leads are incredibly attractive in their own ways, and Ruohan has impeccable acting skills. However, I felt that Linghe's acting wasn't always completely believable. While the tension was undeniably high in the first half of the drama, I felt as though the chemistry was a bit lackluster after they actually got together. However, their relationship was still clearly feel-good & romantic, so I was happy regardless.
I think the focus on TCM was very interesting, and I felt almost compelled to research more into it. I like that each episode started with a different TCM medicinal ingredient.
I was glad to see that Xifan had her own ambitions in life and did not compromise them for a man. The focus on individuality in this drama was really nice, although with the slightly underdeveloped ending I felt that it could have been emphasized even more.
I did not like the almost unconsentual kiss scene, and the way that they brushed it off as some cute puppy love moment.
I grew to enjoy the side characters more than the main characters at some points during this drama. Xiangya and Senior Lin were great friends and their chemistry was also cute, despite not having as much development. I also loved the family of the leads.
Overall, this was such a cozy, feel-good watch. Despite having some gripes, I loved getting attached to all of these characters!
(P.S. Don't look at my rematch value rating. I rarely ever rematch dramas. ^^)
