Why did i watch this. why!
This is a rant and will not help anyone. But please don't watch this drama or prepared to be frustrated.We were promised a red flag, dark, ruthless, crazy mad ML. Well he was for the first few episodes and then he turned to mush.
I watched the whole drama waiting for him to show up but he never did.
And where did the highly trained assassin FL went. Oh she was tending to the crops.
What did i watch & why.

It will want you to fall in love again and it will break your heart.
Let me start with how much I loved this series then I’ll come to what I didn’t like.This is one of the most beautiful romance that I have come across after a long time. The way it was filmed, the story, music, cinematography, the acting and oh man Jerry Yan. What more can I say. This beautiful story stayed with me for days.
Apart from the chopped edits which I heard were due to censorship and Han Yu. I loved everything about this film.
Han Yu character seemed like a stalker. No matter even if they were childhood friends. The FL put up with it for the sake that his family had done so much for her which wasn’t that clear so I felt his presence a nuisance and his persistent courtship overwhelmingly unbearable. The second love story started very strong but then it just went from cute to crazy.
But nothing can make me give this beautiful masterpiece anything less than a 10. I have never given a 10 to any show. I think this 10 is for Jerry Yan as well.
Happy & Heartbreaking watching everyone.

Watch it for the love of Zhang Linghe if nothing else
Let me first write why everyone should watch the drama: Zhang Linghe looks absolutely gorgeous as angsty angry ML.I'm not a fan of Bai lu but she acted so well. Their relationship will forever be iconic.
The story was fast paced unlike most of c-dramas (I'm used to watching k-dramas so no offense here to c-drama lovers as I'm used to series ending around 16 episodes).
The bad parts: badly edited and directed. It gets confusing at times. wasted enough time on Consort Shu character which was not necessary.
All in all this drama is a treat and one of the best to come out in recent years. A must watch.

Zhou Ye is too pretty to pass as a boy. Period.
The Bad:The whole drama went down the drain for me because of this single fact. And as soon as she reached Xiao Jue camp she was found out. How come that never happened when she was general in her army? Like what...
There is stupidity and then there was this.
The Good:
Ryan Cheng bath tub scene obviously. And I simply adored Xiao Jue and He Yan interactions. The fighting was beautifully choreographed. And the story was okay too.
The Ugly:
Last 6 to 7 episodes dragged the whole drama. It became too long for me. It could have been a 30 episode drama .
No one has to agree with me here. Happy Watching

Just watch it already! This is a drama you will not get over easily.
The concept though resembled the Reverse Romance of Doctor Who and River Song. This drama had an altogether different beat to it. I have never seen such perfection in time travel. Every detail thought out by the writer & the director. I found out later that it was some fan fiction video turned to drama.A bit of a spoiler ahead.
Its short beautiful and tragic. I love tragic endings. And when told in such beautiful fashion, even more so. I'm watching it in 2025 and i don't know if it got famous or not when it was released but if it was not. There is something very wrong with the audience.
ML & FL were perfection. Not a dull moment in the story line. Unlike some Cdramas that never ends and stretch just to make it to 40 episodes. This ends at 14. I wanted to re-watch it again as soon as I finished it. It was that good. I hope you love it as much as SBY loved LY in the end.

A treasure in c-dramaland - Beautiful Heartbreaking Full of Life Lessons Story
Oh where to begin.The FL wakes up to redo her mistakes only to learn you cant turn back time. Its heartbreaking but beautiful story. The romance is on another level with FL bent on undoing what can't be undone. And the ML was the epitome of a rich boy who was selfish and embroiled in his own love. And when he realizes his folly, the pride doesn't leave him. What a perfect characterization. I simply loved the ML character.
A part of me wished the drama had ended where Xiwu leaves the food Hua Qian makes for him. Alas the reality kicks in.
