Title The Chang'an Youth
This drama is lightweight , romantic and funny sometimes. I enjoy that. Sungkyunkwan Scandal is one of my favs, this isn't it, altho of course it's a similar setup.But that's ok, this is fun. The FL is an odd choice imo, I don't dislike her, but don't feel enamored of her either. The ML is doing a good job, but his wig and make up are done poorly imo so it distracts me. I have to say , for me, Xie Bin Bin steals his scenes. He has a great physical comedy side to him and comedic timing. I feel like Lui Yi Chang is wasted in this role. I saw him in I've Fallen For You and thought he was refreshing, funny and ML quality. In this role he mostly grunts. I also have to say the two moles in the school that are comedy relief really amuse me. I usually don't like slapstick, but they are on this side of it, and their facial expressions are gold.
