Well managed shortness and a lovely romance

Who would have thought that such a short drama could actually deliver everything you want in a drama.

- a decent story with no unanswered questions
- really good acting
- because of the shortness of the drama a clever male lead!
- sweet chemistry between the leads and a well developed romance (despite the shortness!)
- well created intimacy and passionate kisses~
- politics take up space for like 5% (which is considering the length almost nothing). I didn't mind, I didn't care. It delivered a basic background story for world building.
- decent setting
- good makeup and costume
- good music
- and even a REAL plant!

The female actress' acting was a bit lacking in the beginning but she improved throughout the drama (again despite its shortness!), while Cheng Lei was already in 2022, it seems.

Yes, it's predictable at some point and has its usual tropes, but I didn't expect anything spectacular anyway. I can live with and enjoy predictable, too, when it's well made which was the case here.

Anything to complain about? Yeah, well, the shortness again! I could have delved into that sweetness of those two far longer~ And Cheng Lei sadly never really wore his hair open... ;(

A short review for a short drama ;)
