A Quick Watch Gem

I accidentally found this drama because of Bao Shang En, her eyes are so lively and she's so pretty and I'm immediately curious about her as an FL in this drama. Surprisingly, this drama is pretty good!

The main theme of this drama is music, so there's a lot of music playing scene. Their scenes in the music academy are my favorite, with it's detailed set and red-orange-yellow-white color palette, pretty casts and pretty clothes, all of them are so easy on the eyes and gives me comfort. The friendships between the girls are heartwarming, and we went through all their arcs in this.

Our FL is a pipa player, and her classic aura fits the pipa both in modern and ancient times, so beautiful! Her acting is good and her chemistry with the ML is really palpable, their romance is one of the most interesting thing in this drama that kept me watching, besides the transmigration theme (and of course the looming probabilities of a dramatic goodbyes)
Our ML may seem familiar to you, because he played in Decreed by Fate! He's really good in this one too.

The casts all act well, and even if this is a low budget drama (cmiiw), it feels really enjoyable and compact. Our main couple is quite literally a power couple, enemies to friends to lovers, and I love watching them bicker before falling in love.

I put 7,5 in the story because watching it with subtitle in YT feels kind of confusing to me, like it looks machine translated and a bit hard to understand the sentence as a whole. I feel like I did not fully understand what the whole story is about, but I had a big picture of what's happening. The conflicts are not dragged much, and I like the ending a lot.
I skipped every so often because the pace is kind of slow and there are a lot of characters and side arcs, but it doesn't really matter much to your watching experience.

I would recommend this as a leisure watch in between work, if you like a simple costume themed drama with beautiful set ups.
