i'm not a fan of this cp, they're both not very strong actors and she's particularly insanely typecasted (but like get it girl.) and the first ep wasn't convincing. maybe i'll circle back
i'm not really a huge fan of long investigative story arcs in dramas though, I remember it was why I couldn't get into the lotus casebook drama as well
someone needs to beat some sense into that cousin, he's way too grown to be acting this way over a girl he met three months ago. he's a whole official too
so based off ep 1, its just the bad girl facing off against her former self, and its all a tribulation in the end. not a particularly exciting concept. pause
the lead's outfits?🔥🔥🔥🔥 also they had a really really cute and fun dynamic. I loved the location as well, the cute houses, the beach, etc. I watched from ep 1-28 and I was never bored. I only stopped watching bc its too long lmao and i'm generally not into modern dramas but yea I totally recommend the 1st half. I liked how loud mouthed and bratty the FL was and I liked that the ml wasn't your typical cold ml and they were both smart. the FL did have on too much makeup though in every single scene, she looked ultra picture perfect just like she did in skip a beat. her muas must be working double time lol. oh also I thought she couldn't act when I watched skip a beat but this drama convinced me otherwise. fzx was on fire as usual, what an underrated young actor!
now why the ml gotta be a simp for wanting to help alleviate women's oppression? who wrote that? anyway i'm dropping this it's boring. also these two good actors somehow have -0 chemistry. they both seem to have a solid lineup of upcoming dramas so I'll go cheer them on there
i've watched all the xianxias but this is really the first one were i'm looking at the romance like 🥴 should she really be falling in love with someone that was praying to her?? anyway I finally crawled to the ending (very ashes of love btw) and the the mdl rating for once is approp, it might even drop down a lil which is also fitting. see y'all in the next one👋
