Niki Chow's romance dramas are so touching she really brings emotion with her acting. 2008's The Seventh day is still my favorite but this is so good too, hooked from ep 1
Guo Qi Lin may not have the typical "idol face" but his acting is so natural, it's hard to find actors that make comedy not cringy. I also love Song Yi's acting for a long time, so far the pacing doesn't feel slug-slow but not fast either. It's 100% addictive though!
Rewatching like 15 years later and it's still so good, I'm impressed with how well and complex the characters are written especially Bosco's character. I keep cheering him on after seeing how low and depressed he was at the start, Benz Hui is one of my favorite characters
Rumors updated saying this will air after Douluo Continent is done which makes sense because they rarely broadcast 2 big dramas at the same time because it splits the viewership= less profit. I don't mind since I still have Rebel Princess
I like the FL and think that her character is balanced, she might be clingy to Tang San but she's just as protective and kind to him. She's strong and likeable, she says she grew up in the wild which is why her personality is carefree. I don't find her annoying, unlike so many dramas where the FL is straight up obnoxious or an airhead. It's a fun show, not confusing which I was nervous about with Fantasy Wuxia dramas. So far I would give it an 8.5, but we'll see it depends on the end
Quarter 1 is filled with historical dramas according to rumors since it's the winter holidays and the viewership will go up, especially since historical cdramas are a family favorite in china, so let's hope the rumors stay true and we get this and the long ballad soon!
There are some slow parts, but so enjoyable.
