Great rivalry and dynamics between supersmart and dangerous ML and 2nd ML, and normal girl FL
The "frenemies" relationship between ML and 2nd ML is definitely a highlight of this drama. Their rivalry is so entertaining, plot twists, so wise, both super smart, a little bit dangerous, with adjustable moral compass, you can not really predict what they would do. And both gentle and kind with FL trying to catch her love, so you get to see their soft side, and then you soften up on them... Very intense and captivating dynamics. Especially when you add one is lead by revenge, and the other by ambition. Both obstructed with powerful and cunning people. And both surrounded with loyal team, because it suits with such a powerful men charisma.
Many dramas try to kick of this aura of dangerous powerful super smart and capable man, but don't pull it off. The dialogues are off, the plot, something fails.. But not here.

+ ML is something, most actors act with their words, body language and facial expressions. But some actors have so expressive eyes. That's why he can play such a powerful and dominant ML. What I've seen so far Wang Xing Yue has that in The Double. Their characters weren't very vocal, but we understood everything and they transfer a lot of emotion.
+ I like in this show that FL is not some bravado trying to prove her self, she is just a normal girl, genuinely wants to be free, but keeps falling back to a plot, which is understandable given these two MLs. No escaping from them. But she manages to be herself and keep her cute innocent heart, while growing her knowledge and skills to be less of a victim of a scenario. + romantic moments between Ml and FL are cute and gentle. They are not typical bedtime cuddles and kisses. But he never fails to deliver, you will understand as you watch. He is actually perfect for her free spirit and wandering heart. The scene where he finds her hidden above his bed after he did all to protect her and risked his safety, and the relief he felt just as she was safe. As if his safety didn't matter in that moment. And many more scenes like that.
+ episode 5 is a rewatch material 10/10. so many good scenes :) watch a drama at least first 5 episodes. After that you won't be able to stop. :)

- Her Master is overpraised, I didn't like the logic behind her character, to manipulative and still presented as green flag.
- The mother of Pei Wan was crazy, but some of her crazy could have been better if there was a better foundation for it. I didn't really understand that part.
