Rating it a 10 based on my impression mid series. The fact that I binged watched 23 of 36-episode series is pretty amazing by my standards as I generally fast forward the episodes of most cdramas. They tend to be overly dragged out with lots of pacing issues and fillers, not to mention silly females who need rescuing. Not this, not so far. I liked that the leads established their affections early, and clearly. Lots of communication and vulnerability shared in private moments. Both leads kept secrets from each other even though they were in love, but trusted that there were reasons to do so. Their responsibilities to country and family did not disappear overnight just because they have declared their feelings. Even though their obligations and duty are at odds, they understood each other and often in sync with their actions. Also, yay to a feminist family of women who ran businesses and owned assets. Also yay to confidently asserting one's desires without care of societal judgments, literally in cohabitation with each other and no one in the household blinked an eye! Very rare to see in a period drama.Part II of review, on completion.So, this was on track to be on my fav cDrama list but I never got the emotional payback. I really wanted the FL to show some vulnerability and trust for her partner. She remained in control and capable and unflappable. The only time where she appeared to have yielded to her feelings was when she was on the swing he built her, and she had smiled widely in delight. This huge emotional imbalance carried on to the end, and wished their relationship was more developed. I really wanted both leads to work together to showcase their bond, but the FL pretty much resolved the issues 5 steps ahead. ML had so much potential as a character but the 3rd arc of the show with his toxic family just threw the story off kilter. I guess it's meant to juxtapose his patriarchal family with her matriarchal one. Yay to strong, powerful women, but expressing emotions and leaning on your male loved ones for strength are not weaknesses. I think this show missed an opportunity there.

Sasagichan This time the story and history about their own sect and past really intriguing and emotional especially Wuanying and Yuanrong parts like dang the support roles story is hit hard too and sad, they deliver us with the acting skills of them and they success to make us felt that emotions. About main leads don't need to ask they already serves us from the start and until now like they really are Mu Qingyan and Cai Zhao that comes out from the novel shout out to Zhou Yiran and Bao Shangen acting skills and chemistry.

Okay all the plot and mystery and guessing part are intriguing, but most of that the best and fun part is when the ML is jealous about the engagement FL already have, and funny part he's being tantrum about his behaviour towards the fiancee of the FL hahaha seriously all the scenes that involve FL x ML is always serves us and i really love them so much. I really love and looking forward to MumuZhaozhao plot than the story seriously they are very wholesome.

The plot of FL & ML schemes plotting a scenes together is a new move and look cools more like "strong couple" vibes and i like the version of the drama and novel they serves us intriguing plot and the stab yeah that's chef kiss chemistry and scenes. A little sad because when they sit together the smile FL gives to ML that's displayed on the trailer is got cut likee it's just a second nor a minutes smile why getting cut ? but because the chemistry and acting of the main leads serves us i will put aside that matters.

estar how ironic that the character that i have come to actively detest is Teh - i can't stand the MOFO & i am getting really tired of watching him & Fah's f*ck, it's starting to feel exploitative - not that i don't get why, as this whole BL is a bit of a drag, so they supposedly adding some much needed spice to every ep. but it just feels wrong. u can't freakin dump a whole bucket of salt into the soup, u need to do it in moderation **************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************& read some comments basically talking smack about the Dentist, personally i think he felt something was off with Toh & was over doing it, in the hopes of not just lifting Toh's mood, but in the hopes of conveying his feelings. that's what a normal human will do, for someone they interested in, he over did it cause Toh was like a freakin wet blanket most of the time, giving zero reaction. so the Dentist kept trying. personally i think having to 'baby' someone for 2 months into any relationship would make most people reevaluate wanting to be in that relationship. but he fell hard (i guess) that after talking to Run, he decided Toh was worth the headache & he wanted to put some much needed distance between him & his ex. hoping it would take Toh out of his funk & make him finally notice the Dentist. too much work for an unworthy character IMO, but it is what it is when it's written this way. this whole ep & BL is full of clichés & tropes that r ridiculous... but 1 more ep to go thank f*ck **********************************************************************************************************************************************************side note: from the start been saying that Run the best looking guy here (Fah comes 2nd, sorry) & given his ex was an abuser, i get his thinking Jimmy was the best of the bunch - he isn't - Run should thank his lucky stars & move on, but hey i think Fah should do the same

Seriously the gaze of him to FL is different he really indifferent to others but to her eventhough FL suspicious of him but he's chills and not bothered about her act at all and that serving gaze to FL really make me things it has a meaning, yeah the funny part we will see him like he's using her for his goals, the producer really make us feels that he has ulterior motives to her too, well different from novel but the vibes "when the readers/watchers think negative of his move is still theres" yeahh at first we all will be guess him troupe soo let's see guys.

I know many scenes being cut and the first encounter of them different from the novel but still the chemistry is chemistrying and intense interactions of them really caught me until i only focused on them i'm gloryfying them because i really like MumuZhaozhao from the first time i read the novel and the actor and actress really portray them like in the novel is just like their characters come out from the novel itself.

Still the AI drawings...This episode was better than the first, although the overused tropes of the parents dead by truck accident and grandma finding the long lost childhood friend doesn't really bode well for the rest of this drama.I will give it 2 more episodes before dropping it. I'm really sad because I like all the major actors in this.

The AI drawings... At least try to make it look not generic.Also some very long pauses and boring dialogue. I really hope ep2 is better.

Blossom Best first episode I’ve seen in awhile . Made me tear up already. I liked how the female mc is clever and not just pretty. I can’t wait to see what else happens.

I honestly started watching this because of Keagan. I can ignore the poor execution, I'll be patient and hope this story progresses well. I hope the future episodes will give more thrill, anxious wibe like a horror story, or suspense feeling

Bluescenery A weird pacing. Maybe there's a lot of cut and some scenes arrangement are not properly place to tell the building relationship of the main leads and its plot. But the cinematography, background props and the casts' acting carries it.
