Love is not general liking, love is infinite liking

The first drama i've watched from Steven Zhang was 'Skate into love' where I met him and completely fell in love with how great of an actor he is. This is my second drama of his which i've managed to finish. Although, i've watched his other dramas...I just couldn't bear finish all of them and dropped them after some time as they didn't fill my interest. I've waited for this drama to be released the moment I found out he is going to star alongside Liang Jie and tbh, I had set high expectations on this as both my favorite actors are going to work together.

I'm not going to write a super long review but get straight to the point. First of all, I had to put the actors acting on the top because both Steven Zhang and Liang Jie's skills in acting is without a doubt amazing. I completely have no complain because they portrayed their characters so well and I want to praise both of them so much because 'body switching' required another level of acting but both of them filled those gaps which other dramas that had body switching couldn't do. They set every thing so well that I couldn't help be immersed on their good acting and fantastic chemistry. Ofc, side characters were good too. Pei Jia Shu is my fave apart from the main couple. Secondly, regarding the whole storyline...honestly, for me every thing was so well during the first episodes where they weren't together in a relationship but the latter part of the drama where they got together, must admit it got sort of quite draggy but I understand why they had to extend that part especially with the issue between Jiang Yi's parents which badly needed to be resolved (i'm glad he reconciled with his mother though because I hated his father so much who had only been using him as an atm machine). So, the latter episodes did quite made me want to drop the drama out but I fought it through because of how good their acting is. Lastly, about the ending. It seemed many didn't like how it ended because it turned out that all Jiang Yi and Yu ShengSheng's story all this while with the whole body switching thing is just a written novel by the real Yu ShengSheng in the real world. For this, I had to disagree. I like how they gave the drama a realistic ending rather than a fictional one.

This drama really made me laugh and cry and cringe in a lot at scenes especially when they were body switching. Overall, it was an enjoyable ride and I am grateful that I decided to stick until the end and finish it. I'll definitely re-watch this again in another year. Badly hoping that Steven can work with Liang Jie again because both their chemistry is top-notch and idk if it is just me but they suit each other well.
