Short, but sweet... and really good
I watched this one on Viki, and I noticed that it only had 8 episodes. Here in MDL, it shows 18 episodes, so I was worried that not all of them were available on Viki. I also found the show on iQiyi, and noticed it listed all 18 episodes. When I looked at the time length of the episodes, I realized what Viki did was combine episodes, so it makes it seem like there's less, when it's all there.
This was a really good show. The way that Ryan Cheng's character cared for his FL, reminded me of "The First Jasmine", after he opened up to her. I really liked their chemistry. I also like how his FL respected him and her position, despite begin worried about getting exposed for being a fake. This made me think of another cdrama "The Best Day of My Life". It had a similar element in that the FL was playing a fake role, but still respected her ML and didn't do anything to ruin his reputation.
It took me a minute to really grasp what was going on in the beginning stages of the story. I found myself getting confused with the names a lot, and also why the face swap happened in the first place.
The big take away for me is General Hansheng and Shi Qi's relationship. Seeing that pure and innocent love develop over the course of the show really drew me in, and had me rooting for them. I'm still confused about who's face was really who's at the end, but I'm glad it ended with her not having to do another face swap. It think, despite having feelings for her, it would've made the connection between Hansheng and Shi Qi a little awkward. At least I think it would have. The little girl was cute, but the thing that got to me at times was how babyish her voice sounded at times. You could tell she's a very intelligent little girl. I was hoping to hear a more matured tone from her before the show ended.
