I do not understand why people gave this series a relatively low rating. The story is natural and without clichés. It may be a bit slow but realistic.

The relative low rating of 7.6 is deceptive. This drama/comedy s is definitely worth watching. There are a few moments that are "over the top" but in general a very entertaining movie. Do not expect to make sense out of these type of dramas but expect to be entertained. Overall I enjoyed it.

It's started quite well with good sections of comedy. However, after episode 16 it became a bit of a drag. I was struggling giving the show an opportunity to redeem itself. It never did. Also, I feel they did not know how to end the show quite frankly. The brother who went a total loser to a master of Kungfu was simply too much of a stretch to me.

Just excellent. it is pleasant when Directors shun from cliché. Actors act natural as real people confronting what is normal in real people.

So far, excellent plot

This is how dramas are done right and away from cliches.

I guess the episodes were recorded around lake Erhai. https://cdn.tripways.com/2020/06/01121441/Erhai-Lake-1-2048x1138.jpg

NavajoPrincess. I have been looking. Unfortunately, there are no sites like the subscriptions you find in Youtube, or Iqiyi that gives you Brazilian soapoperas translated or dubbed in English. You have access to them through latino cable and most of the time translated into Spanish.

Quizás hoy sea así. En mis tiempos (por alla en los ochenta y principios de los noventas) no había tantos personsajes ni tantos capítulos pero las novelas de Brasil eran definitivamente lo mejor en calidad, a mi modo de ver, en comparacion con novelas de otros paises. En lo personal a mi me gusta el estilo realista, sin hiperrealismo, sin malos y buenos, sino grises. La novela tiene que conectar humanamente conmigo.

There are many and you can find sites online listing the best ones. There are western elements or styles in these dramas that have made me move towards the more "innocent" C, K and T dramas but if you don't mind this, I suggest the clone, dancing days, the victim, brazil avenue, etc.

Those who have enjoyed Go ahead this is a must see. We need to see more of these coming. This is the style (with several story lines in parallel) that have made Brazilian Drama so successful is sorely needed in Chinese ones.

This show is excellent, devoid of silly/unnatural plots. It's just refreshing to see shows of this quality.

I really enjoy this drama. Realistic and devoid of the usual cliches. Perhaps one may not like some of the characters but the story line is quite realistic that is hard not get bored with it. Good job to all the actors and actresses involved. I do not know why it is only rated here with a 7.8. It is definitely far superior than many other "better rated" c-dramas around there with more famous artists.

from episode 20 to 46 i skipped 50%. the story was not for more than 26 episodes.

But there are excellent Chinese drama out there without much of the overabundance of plots of this show that I see IMHO just too unnatural to common human behavior. "Go ahead", or the most recent "Mr Bad", or even "Love between Fairy and Devil" are few some examples of good shows. Decisions made by the characters in this show are mostly illogical which makes it just hard for me to connect with the story line. That is what I am calling out here.

I agree. Esther can easily be magically charming.

She does speak naturally in the show, which is lovely, often but she does force her voice into that of a 4 year old girl.

I agree. Everything is unnatural in this drama. exhausting. Don't forget to mention that they became overnight undercover experts and yet she is also afraid of darkness. I just don't understand how this drama can connect to a grown up audience. Koreans are ages beyond this point. These lead actors should make better choices in next dramas.

In reality I meant many of the interactions between the characters. Completely unnatural, none of them happen in real situations.
