absolutely worth it.
watching this drama made me Patient. I usually watch already aired dramas but this time I had to endure the suffering... it was worth it.
plot: nothing groundbreaking. we saw this plot a million time. modern girl ends up as the character of a novel... and here comes the plot twist.. she in not the only one!
right here we have evidence that you can play with the same old trope but enrich it with some spice.
what should I say?
characters: absolutely adorable.
the main couple has a strong chemistry and their characters make sense. they are also funny and played by exceptional actors.
some honoble mentions: secondary characters were fantastic. I absolutely adored Mr bei the martial art master.
yong'er: girl I despised you as much as I liked you.
the mean prince: the actor did such an amazing job. you really end up hating him.
the cast was stellar overall.
soundtrack: loved it. already added some songs into my playlist.
complaints: I don't have strong ones but I feel something was missing plot wise.
I didn't read the novel so I am basing this analysis entirely on the drama.
some parts where not clear to me.
Yong'er: I don't know where she is from. when talking about their normal life the FL mentions Beijing and yong'er is clearly confused. I deduce she is not from "our world".
I saw some comments mention that she is actually from another book.. I don't know.
the crown prince: he should be the emperor son.. but the timelines don't ally. the drama used the same actor to indicate that the crown prince and the emperor look alike at the same age, but if the crown prince is also fifteen like Zhang San was, he cannot be his son.
Qiang state: we never see this rival state mentioned until the empress dowager dies. weird. tu' Er is the prince of another nation, why not bring the Qiang state into the picture. I don't know.
the final scene: I don't quite get if that was a "what if" scenario or if they really came back.
Zhang er: in the early episodes he mentioned that he was waiting for someone but that someone wasn't our FL. who was it then?
maybe I was too distracted.
overall this "plot holes" are not that important in order to enjoy the story.
the drama is a good mix of romance, comedy and political intrigue.
no filler episodes.
