The FL ruined this Drama for me!
After the first episode I knew that it was going to be hard to watch this FL. First of all, she looked like a pre-teen trying to be an adult, worse of all, a kick-ass heroine. Her movements reminded me of an ungainly newborn colt, not the smooth precise movements of a real martial artist. (I'm tired of these delusional heroine wanna-be's). Her acting left much to be desired, and her facial expressions made her look even more immature and almost comical in some scenes. Sorry, no more Song Yiren dramas for me - one and done!I didn't mind the ML, but his storyline left a lot to be desired also. I was really not enjoying the 'idiot' phase. And was it just me who couldn't find the FL's 'falling in love with him' and her pretended devotion to him appealing? Didn't SHE cause him to become that way from poisoning him? Did she ever own up to it and did the ML know it was her who made him an idiot in the first place? That's a pretty big loophole for one drama!
I liked the He family and their dynamic, and for me, the real tragedy of this tale was their demise - and the FL escaping their destiny. It was probably the most touching and heart-wrenching story arc, and the best acting of the entire drama. Pity they didn't know her part in the downfall of the ML.
Such a disappointment this drama was. The leads didn't even have any chemistry really. And what the heck was that ending?! I read a couple of reviews that said there was a bonus episode after Episode 26, but I have yet to find it. One review said it tied up loose ends and made the ending in Episode 26 make sense. I guess I have to go hunt that down to see if it can redeem the ending and make up for wasting all that time on this travesty.

Omg!!
Wow what a story this one turned out to be. !!! Never seen one like this before and not done yet. Kudos to the person who wrote this! In the world of potion , poisons, and elixirs. Uh yeah what could go wrong. !!! I love this ML... I've tried to watch everything he is in ... and he is GOOD ... the acting in this one I'm pretty sure not just any guy could pull this off. Amazing job, and brave of him too to do it w so much class. So the FL also does a nice job not so challenged but I had a hard time liking her at first. I can't do spoiled baby girls too well. Boring. But her role grew and changed and really got better in time. Losing her family. I didn't know if I was going to get through that myself. Lol. So sad. ?. Anyway I highly recommend if you like romance, but the unusual, a really different type. Right up there w Lost You Forever in level of high drama, really pulled you in and took you for a great story ride ... thank you everyone who was on this one. It's up in my top 5 so far as it just kept spinning a really great tale. I haven't seen the ending so hopefully it doesn't break my heart. Ugh. You begin to feel like part of the family while watching some of these. I love the classy approach on most of these dramas.Was this review helpful to you?
Thanks for side story
I liked the drama only because of side story .A man has fallen in love with a lady .The lady loved someone else. Due to some reasons she had to spend time with him . A tragedy had occurred because of it the man life was in danger and somewhere the lady was responsible. So she took responsibility to cure him .In this journey an accident had occurred and the man insist of improving ,his mind turn into a new born baby . Then she slowly slowly helped him to walk, to eat and to talk and this way they had a good bonding . Again a tragedy had happened with her and such circumstances had occurred that she had to marry him . Slowly slowly she came to know the truth of her family massacre and the man's family was responsible of it . This is the reason they separated . Things were improving but the guilt made man not to accept the lady . She accepted the reality and they separated . Again an accident had occurred and he sacrificed his life inorder to save her . she sacrificed her youth to save him. And she started living in solitary. And after some days they both getting week and she was the verge of death . This had shown upto 26 episode. If the story end up here then a big disappointed.
Thanks to side story which gave the happy ending .
What i missed in the drama their chemistry . They were good together but they don't have a single scene where they accept each other feelings and spent happy moment .. they spent a good times when he turned into a child.
What i like about the drama is the male lead acting.
He was just amazing. I enjoyed watching his acting.

WOW...just Wow .... a bumpy rollercoaster it was ! NO REGRET
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED TO WATCH AND EVEN RE-WATCH 100/100To say this is a bumpy rollercoaster of emotions ....might still be an understatement.
FIRST of all WANG YOU SHUO.... that man is beyond words an incredible actor. I have watched many actors and many dramas in my life but i have only met few actors quite like Wang You Shuo who can make you feel every bit of emotion by merely his eyes and facial expressions.
I am a person who does not cry easily and especialy not something that is fictional or acted out , it takes quite some remarkable acting to make me shed tears..... but the way he portrayed this characters every emotion even hit me deep in my heart and made me cry numerous times during the course of this series. My utmost respect for his portrayel of Rong Yu....WOW is all words can say to express and explain how deep this incredible man can touch your heart. BRAVO !!
Now the overall story is very good , it has a lot of Angst but at the same time it is well balanced with the joyful scenes between the two main characters i won't spoil much as you just have to go and watch it but SPOILER AHEAD if you want to keep reading this review
. I have to say the ending might be a bit messy in my upinion with how everything seemed a little rushed and confusing with the very ending being quite different then what you'd expect. They went for a happy ending but it felt rushed and messy with how Rong Yu was yet again near deaths door and He Juiling doing everything to save him we had pretty much expected that ,
but then onwards everything became quite chaotic and a big mess.
A sudden pregnancy , He Juiling aging fast,
the sudden reveal towards Rong Yu and then being left knowing he had a child and He Juiling was ok after the treatment of her master they dissapeared leaving him there like he was some kind of evil wich in my honest upinion he didn't do anything to deserve this there might be people thinking differently but from my upinion after watching this he didn't deserve this at all.
Then suddenly ending up (let's say around 4 or 5 years later) when the child is already grown a lot and Rong Yu meeting them again. I didn't much expect an explanation but i had hoped for a better way of telling that part because now He Juiling wanted to leave after Rong Yu held his daughter and asked ''what about my child...what about me?'' full of tears about to be shed and He Juiling looking not anywhere near close to letting him stay but then suddenly turns smiling they get closer and without a word or anything else to show atleast a bit of what was going on the series is done....
it would've been great to see some more of that reunion if the parts before had to be that chaotic without any proper filling or explenation for some parts it would've been lovely if that last scene was longer or we got something more about them getting back together and Rong Yu connecting with his daughter and how they would react towards each other because it would be very unlickely if a strange man picks up a small girl she wouldn't be wondering who that man is and why he called her his child. We don't know if He Juiling told her about her father in those years but those are all little things that could've made the ending less messy and chaotic then it was.
The Ending was messy but that DOES NOT TAKE AWAY that the series was INCREDIBLE in the entirety of the story. The actors all did an incredible job and as i know a lot of them already i was very pleased to see how they handles and portrayed their roles in this amazing story with a bumpy ride ahead. I overall LOVED this series and it is deffinitly added to my list of Series i would love to re-watch again maybe even soon.
show all your love and support for this series and it's incredible cast by watching this to the fullest and let the story take you away....or more so let the characters touch your heart as they did mine.

It’s a good drama with good actors the chemistry between the leads are good
Its have its ups and down .Some scene where good some you might find boring but the two lead star were good and had a nice chemistry.
The funny scenes was when the lead actor had turn to a kids mind set. Some times funny and some are sad.
The female lead acting was good even though its hard to believe a small girl be fearless and a general.
Bit over all it was fun to watch it has its moments! Childess love and innocent care and a woman whi wants to repay or undo what she did in the past.
Give ot a shot watching it

It looks silly, but actually it's very good
I'm actually surprised by this drama. I thought I wouldn't like because I'm not really a fan of childish behavior or fool characters.But if you get pass the childish behavior of the FL in the beginning, you are gonna get a nice drama.
The story is pretty interesting, something different and gets more deep as it goes by.
The actors are very good, you can related to the characters, especially the He family.
The production is good, nice costumes and scenarios.
Overall, it is a good drama,

Not to bad and don’t listen to some comments until you see up to 10 episodes
I really enjoyed watching this series because it’s shows family dynamics and children being spoiled! When mistakes has happened- the spoiled daughter, mane character found out that her mistake has precautions and she learned to grow up ?? It’s so sad ? but it must have a much happier ending later - cross my fingers!Just try watching up to 10 episodes before deciding, is good? The plot is very different to others Chinese drama I have been watching recently so I decided to keep up with it !
I’ll see what I think later ?

Ugly makeup and weird storyline
The storyline doesn't seem to match what the drama is about. ML was in love with FL and did not seem to have a cold personality like the storyline says. The way he acted out the Fool part is kind of weird in my personal opinion. ALOT of head/ twitches and blinking of eyes. The FL makeup is just PLAIN UGLY. the ML is okay but the FL has 2 pig tails and an easy braid. Seems like the make up crew got SUPER LAZY. FL acting is okay but i feel like they can do better. It only has 26 episodes so it is rushed but i really hope it gets better as more episode airs. Interested as to how the storyline changes.Was this review helpful to you?
disappointing drama
this series had the potential to be an engaging series with an interesting storyline. However, it falls short of expectations in several way. One of the most glaring issues with the drama is the portrayal of the female lead. Her acting comes across as terrible and annoying, which is unfortunate, as any drama's success heavily relies on its cast's performance. The character she plays is overly cutesy, and her two pigtails seem completely out of place. The actress's inability to bring depth and authenticity to her role makes it hard to connect with the character and invest in her journey. Another thing is the lack of a well-constructed storyline. The plot lacks direction and cohesion, leaving me feeling lost and disconnected from the narrative. The story fails to provide a clear sense of purpose or direction, making it challenging to become emotionally invested in the characters' fates. By episode 7, it became evident that there was no redeeming quality in the story or characters, which ultimately led me to drop the series.Was this review helpful to you?
