would not rewatch

Pros:
- There were a lot of sweet and cute interactions between FL and ML. Loved the skinship.
- ML actor has unexpected charm. I found his teasing, flirty, shy expressions very appealing as they were not the norm for the ML’s character
- The overall story line is actually interesting, even if the execution could have been better
- Good comedic side characters like brother Lu and teng she
- cute animals
- lots of food appreciation
- good fight scenes
- unexpected BL towards the end
- cgi wasn’t bad
- cute ending

Cons:
- FL says the ML’s name like 10 times per minute sometimes. At some point it becomes unbearable
- ML is either vomiting blood or has a bloody lip
- FL lacks complete agency and is easily manipulated to the point where it goes against the character development we’re supposed to believe she has gained.
- ML is supposed to be the moral compass of the show, teaching the FL how to love and be human. and while it’s a good concept, his self sacrifice was overdone. Also, his need to shield her from suffering ends up causing stupid misunderstandings
- Very repetitive, too many iterations of basically the same scene, same conflict, same misunderstandings. I ended up skipping so many scenes bc of this and was still able to keep up with the plot
- too many annoying and one dimensional side characters. Another reason I skipped scenes.
- the sister side story took up too much unnecessary space
