This review may contain spoilers
"Shining Just For You" it's a drama about Bai Lu, a young woman who has a gift of foresight. She's friends with the princess of Yebei, who's engaged to marry the emperor Xiu Ming, but the girl doesn't want to get married, so Bai Lu helps her escape.
Bai Lu goes to work in the astrology bureau and there she gets closer to Xiu Ming, eventually they become a couple.
I went to watch it mainly because of the two main actors: Peng Xiao Ran and Feng Shao Feng, but it turns out that the problem with the drama is exactly the total lack of chemistry between them.
Furthermore, the characters lack depth, their characterization is shallow, not enough to keep you hooked.
At some points, it gave me the impression that the drama wanted to copy "Goodbye, My Princess", the issue of tribes and the beginning, all the clothes, the setting. I think that maybe if there hadn't been the romance between Bai Lu and Xiu Ming, the drama would have been better, because it starts out of nowhere and didn't make much sense to me, especially because I really thought that Bai Lu was in love with Rui and Wu You was a wasted character, he was supposed to be the second lead and barely appears in the story, so it was difficult to root for him, since we didn't even know the character well.
It's something you'll watch and forget very easily.
