as someone whose a huge fan of the novel series

I actually saw this drama first a year ago maybe
..
I don't even remember how I came across this story... I was just looking to watch something to kill my Time so I ended up watch the anime version of this and later the whole novel series upto the 3rd book and a few chapters here and there of 4th and 5th book ...
So as a huge fun I definitely had quite a few expectations from this but was sadly disappointed not much tho I did watch the whole thing from start till finish but definitely won't re-watch since it's so long ...
the anime had a lot of details and beautiful setting .. it makes sense the show was not able to match that level as it would require huge amount of money probably... so I was initially ok with that but as a fan I definitely expected some set to match with the animated version but unfortunately it did not and then we have the changed storyline...like his background..his past life .. I definitely would have loved if they kept it but instead it was some idk magic book types which gave him knowledge on his mechanical weapons..
the casting was not bad and this was definitely the show that made me a fan of the ml xiao zhan ..
Ig the overall acting could have been better maybe?
in the novel as well as anime the fl was sure a little childish but that's because she was a child they were probably hardly 14 .. but the actors are definitely older than the characters they r supposed to portray

don't have second thoughts about watching this ...

honestly one of the best dramas I have seen in a while . if ur having second thoughts about watching this ..just give it a try ... there are moments u'll be really fed up like when the youngest sister keeps going bad to her lover who's nothing but a cheater...
tho I really like how all the bad parents realised their mistakes and actually did something good for their kids like sanli 's mother in law saying sorry in her deathbed and leaving her property to them instead of her favoured son(sanli's brother in law) . also their dad he was a asshole but never really pretended to be a good dad either... and I loved how he actually did something good for his kids before he was gone ..he gave them his house
there are moments u'll be fustrated about but honestly for me personally I could understand each of their actions I could understand why they did what they did
tho in Chengcheng's case (the youngest sister's ex)
idk how those women have like no self esteem how can u be with someone knowing he's married and has a daughter like seriously
