Adaptation done right

The book was great and the show is holding up to it. The main couple has great chemistry (we already knew that from their previous work together).
A lot of people seem to think that adaptation need to be word for word of the original material so they are never pleased.
The characters here are akin to their book counterparts, a little subdued in some aspects and a little amped up in others and that is doing the show wonders.
The main characters are fantastic, my girl Wanyao is fabulous in how real she is, ad Yan Shao is the perfect ML in my humble opinion, a man who is not oppressive in his masculinity? AMAZING. The whole role reversal of it all is just chef's kiss.
Counting the minutes for the next episode the moment the new one ends.
