Would recommend this drama!!! Starts really good. The male lead is a person who seeks for precious gems. He gets into. a car accident and accidentally meets the female lead who is a tribe leader. She takes him in and takes care of him. He finds out she has a precious gem and he wants to take it for himself, so he needs to gain the trust of the female lead. The female lead promise to give it to him only if they get married. He basically teaches her about how to use a phone, eat instant noodle, and take selfies. She has a really good memory. Female lead is a naive, innocent, simple minded girl. The male lead is more dark, cold and mysterious ( he wanted to only use her at first.... but then you know ,... they fall in love) He basically drugs them the night of the wedding and he escapes. ( lol thats the background)
The female lead tries to find him in the city, there she meets the second male lead. lol he wants her to be in a live stream with him( thats his job) The male lead is trying to find the cave were there is a lot of precious gem. Also the evil characters in the show want to find it for themselves. In the process the male lead finds an elder who once had connections about finding the cave/ he had a secret box that he kept with him. They keep trying to open that box to see whats the secret behind it all.
I really liked the male lead's relationship with his two childhood friends. One is a computer genius and the other is knowledgable in gems, they all help to try to open the locked box.
Some parts in the middle was kind of draggy/ a little slow, like the plot was developing it pick up closer to the end. ( dont want to spoil too much )
What really sold me was the female lead. She is so cute, gulliable, innocent but at the same time smart, brave and honest, speaks her mind. She is the ray of sunshine that melts/ heals the male lead's scar.She brings positivity and genuineness. The chemistry between them is alright. I felt the female liked the male more lol , therefore some of the kissing scenes to me didn't strike my heartstrings as much as some in other drama, but in the end i felt the feelings ( lol watch for yourselves). I also liked how each character was able to get some romantic character development. The story was well rounded and had a happy ending. So please go watch :)

i started to get hooked on this drama in the middle of watching intense love and i can see why i did. after watching the trailer, i figured i would consider this to be one of my favorite cdramas. (AND IT IS! :]) the plot, the characters, the acting- it was really really good. i remember watching the first episode and being so invested because it started off well. the FL and ML already started to reel me in. they had exceptional chemistry and appeal that it really satisfied my needs. it truly made me laugh and smile a lot. i would 100% look forward to seeing them in future dramas to come. if i had to be honest, i didn't really pay any attention to gao zhen he and the troubles he was facing, but i think it would still hook other viewers who decide to watch this.
i would also like to say that i loved the relationship between xing yue and uncle wen (chen wen quan). they also connected but in a way that made me happy. the closeness and adoration between them is really pure. (i cried in the last episode, watch to see why!)
other than that, i enjoyed watching this romcom. i would definitely rewatch it! 10/10 for me.

What I like most about this series was that the female lead was strong and smart, although she was somewhat clueless at times she still prove herself to be quite clever and no pushover.
What I did not like about it was that after the 28th episode got a bit draggy. I suppose it could’ve been wrapped up rather nicely with 20 episodes instead of 30.
The ending was good but I get in my feelings when they turn a bad guy good in the final moment. Other than that it’s great. I recommend this if you’re looking for something sweet, funny and action filled.

Hidden Gem!!
I did not expect to love this drama as much as I did, but it truly is one of my ALL time favorites!! The ML and FL completely drew me in from the first episode. Their chemistry was spot on and their antics were hilarious and so absurd that it made me laugh out loud (pure comedy done well)! The ML’s boyish charm came through for me and he was so sweet and instinctively protective of the FL (ML has the BEST facial expressions), you could see his facade breaking down every time he was around her. The FL was innocent and naive but smarter than you think. I loved that about her character... she wasn’t overly dramatic or emotional but sincere and grounded in her sense of self. The ML (as much as he fought it) didn’t stand a chance!The second half of the drama did get a little long for me as it was more about the jewelry hunt and side characters, and less about the main couple. There were plot holes here and there and some “no way” moments but as unrealistic of a drama as this was, I completely bought it, believed it, and loved it.
Props to the writers for their creativity and laugh out loud moments (star gazing, electricity, blood vs snow, uncle’s eyes... I mean who comes up with this stuff? Hilarious!!) The ML and FL were perfectly cast... definitely one of my favorite couples. They did an AMAZING job executing and bringing this story to life!! I rarely rewatch dramas but I find myself going back to this one.
I wish I could find more BTS videos... it would be fun to see how they filmed some of these scenes and interacted off camera. I don’t normally ship couples either.... but I’d make an exception for these two!

Very good story
It is a very beautiful , innocent ,romantic,cute ,simple and little funny love story .Lead actress innocent acting as well as purity in her character brought the cuteness in drama all the time . She looks beautiful and her character is also very cute, innocent and lovely .That romantic shock ,hormone than static electricity concept is little funny by this concept male character trying to make her fool or to make her believe that whatever emotions came into his face because of it ,(little physics and little biology into it as she never learn science) so quiet little funny dialogues were there and they way her character believed his stupid talk is cute funny or sometime felt so cute ,so pure this character is ,she
is ready to belief whatever he said to her .
Then even though he made himself evil infront of her but still she believed him . So this drama give the example of good love .
That is a love . Love is romantic shock,love when you felt pain while seeing your love with someone else ,love is when you ready to bear the pain to live without your love then to put your love into danger ,love is cute ,love is happiness ,love is love .
I like the last part of the drama that is the unique one . The way they shown their happiness while dancing so that is the unique ending.

Get ready for a cute rom-com with a battle between greed and love!
Got into the drama because of the leads after watching a little bit of the trailer, but I did not read the synopsis before getting myself into watching this drama because I didn’t want to spoil myself too much.And here I am, writing this review after binge watching this cute rom-com! From beginning to end, this drama has its elements of suspense, action, friendship and mainly, the cute comedy/romance between Xue Yue and Gao Zhen He. This mixture of genre will instantly draw you into the drama and you will long for more and more episodes.
The beginning to middle of the drama is light and fluffy! The story involves GZH, who is a jewel hunter (working under Lia Zi’s contract) being chased by a group of people. During the chase, his car falls down a cliff. When GZH wakes up, he meets XY, the leader of a mysterious tribe that’s secluded from the modern world. XY instantly falls for GZH and makes him “her man” by having a wedding ceremony. However, GZH’s motive all along was only to escape back to the modern world with a Star Stone gem that’s given to XY by her mother. Of course our girl XY does not give up and chases after GZH into the modern world and that’s where their love story begins, and mysteries begin to unfold.
Personally, from the beginning of this drama, what made me continue watching is the two leads and their cute romance/comedy scenes! Trust me, they are so adorable together and have hilarious moments. The FL is innocent, cute, naive, but brave and badass, while the ML is cold hearted, sneaky (FYI, the things he does might get on some people’s nerves), but XY’s love brings out the better, good persona of him, while he teaches her about the modern world while protecting her.
By the way guys, aside from the romance between these cuties, there’s a larger plot to this drama, which of course involve the mystery behind GZH’s major task under his contract. It will keep you in suspense, and there will be a plot twist because certain characters in this drama, you will not be able to tell if they are “good or bad,” especially towards the middle or end of the drama.
Overall, I enjoyed the storyline, I did feel it was a little bit draggy and had some annoying plots towards the end (because there’s a point in the drama where it gets all serious and looses the rom-com feel you feel in the beginning). I think the romance of the two leads will still keep you watching the show. Not only that, all the main characters love stories were fulfilled! So you will not suffer a second lead syndrome!
Oh last but not least, BGM was a bonus and made this drama have a more emotional, intense feeling. I believe the actors and actresses did a great job portraying their characters.

Very funny story
Very fresh and enjoyable series, funny, with lots of misunderstandings and comic moments. I didn't expect that I could laugh so much.The idea of a cross reality between a tribe of savages and people from civilization is very good. In the lead role we see a modern Amazon woman who falls in love with a modern opportunist from the big city. Love at first sight, naive and innocent. A woman leader who protects her man with fists and a crossbow; a man who protects his beloved at the cost of everything.
The actors are very cute, the pairing worked out great. The story is romantic, the truth is it's told comically and sweetly, but there's not really chemistry between the actors, it could easily pass for a Disney teen series and be watched by ages 7+.

It Is Disappointing
I watch this show because I was following Zang Yaqin. I have liked her in other dramas and at the beginning I like her strong character but the writer made her into a squeaky annoying character. I found this drama at the beginning interesting but the more episode I saw the more board I became. The male lead show very little emotion that he even liked any of the female characters. to me he was scum because he used them all. The treasure hunt was becoming annoying by episode 19. The old men character that was staying with them became an excuse for more episodes that were not needed. This story became annoying and the script writer seem to keep us wondering because he did not know what else to write. Romance there was none. The bad guys were as stupid as the lead male character. very disappointed.Was this review helpful to you?

This Show Was Something Else, Period.
This drama was very interesting to watch. I loved the concept of Xing Yue's tribe completely respecting women. The characters were something else. There were two things I never understood, however. First off, who on earth was Xing Yue's mom and how was she able to get the stone from the cave? Was Yun He her mom without her knowing, and since Uncle Wen was Yun He's lover, was Uncle Wen Xing Yue's dad? The other thing I never understood was how did Gao Zhenhe manage to leave his town after his parents both die, and nobody heard or knew anything? It makes no sense, so I think the neighborhood had something to do with his dad's death. Then again, these two theories are just theories. That part where Dong Yun Xi lifted Li An bridal style and just walked away was pretty unnecessary if it wasn't ever going to be explained. I think they did sleep together, but either they have an unspoken agreement to never mention it, or Dong Yun Xi is hiding it from her since she was drunk and maybe didn't remember it.Xing Yue's innocence was something you don't see a lot, and it was so funny to see the others try so hard not to ruin it. Gao Zhen He was a little annoying at first because he was so full of himself, but I liked him later on because he was so funny. Xia Na was ok, I mean she was nice and all, but towards the middle of the show I think she got a little too petty with Xing Yue. Qin Shu is honestly one of the best second-male-leads I've ever seen. He's so geeky in his own way, it's adorable. This man is the definition of "cute boyfriend". Yi Tian is a little too stubborn and oblivious, but I guess it was ok. I wish he had a little more personality. Jiayu is a great character, but I wish she was in the show earlier, because honestly it looked it she was the main side character or whatever. Li An was just plain annoying, I felt like slapping this girl ALL THE TIMEEEEE. Dong Yunxi was tolerable just because he's hot and charismatic. Uncle Wen was ok at first, but when all that stuff about his past was revealed, I was a little disappointed in him.
Damn, now I want a second season that explains everything that happened.

Don't take it too seriously
I loved this drama for its cuteness and fluff. It was not a perfect drama, but it had laughs, slight romance, and even a little mystery thrown in for good measure. When I watch a drama, I do not look at "realism." If I wanted reality, I would not watch dramas lol. I judge my dramas based on the drama's ability to make me forget and want to watch more. Therefore, if you look for how realistic the drama is, don't read too much into my review. Jumping right in, the part that hooked me from the start was the FL, Xing Yue, in her tribe. She was the leader of a tribe that values women over men. They do not have many of the modern conveniences we have, and they are very remote, so social norms and expectations are different. Xing Yue meets and saves the ML, Gao Zheng He. The interaction between the two is very funny all the way through the drama. They have many amusing scenes throughout the drama as Gao Zheng He attempts to subdue and "tame" Xing Yue so she does not give away "industry secrets" of his job. Though the ML is scheming and "bad," there is a sweetness in him that Xing Yue brings out in him. He cannot help but assist her through the difficulty she had adjusting to the change between her tribe and the city she follows the ML into. In addition to Gao Zheng He, the second male lead, Yi Tian, helps her navigate and understand her new society. The FL has great chemistry with both of the males, and it did not bother me that the romance was a slow-burn romance. My delight was in watching the FL learn and grow in her new environment. I found myself watching the interactions with each of the other characters who helped her learn and grow. I could have done with less of the "job" scenes (he was a jewel thief) of the ML and his co-workers, but I just endured them to get to the fun parts.I found the acting to be well done. The FL, played by Zhang Ya-Qin, was the one who carried the show in my opinion. She and the ML, Ren Yu Lun had a sweet chemistry that was perfect for the drama. They did not have an off-the-charts sexual tension-type chemistry, but more of a fun and playful chemistry that was fun to watch. The secondary lead, Chen Xi Jun (the character Yi Tian) had a fun relationship with Zhang Ya-Qin. However, outside of his interactions with Zhang Ya-Qin, I did not think his character was developed enough for me to like the secondary love story. I was not as impressed with the other cast members. They were not awful; they just were not as memorable. The secondary love relationships (there were two) were meh. I determine the value of acting based on my own criteria, so take it with a grain of salt. You may not have the same criterion :)
The OST was okay, I skipped the intro and ending songs after the first several episodes. The songs within the drama were not memorable, and I never rewound or re-played parts to hear the songs. I never looked up the OST to find the artists as I have with some dramas. The way that I determine the value of the music is based on: 1. do I skip the intro/closing or watch them to sing with the songs? 2. do I look up the artist singing the song? 3. do I look up the translation, so I know what the song is saying? 4. do I listen to the OST outside of the drama itself?
The rewatch value on this was slow in coming for me. As a matter of fact, I dropped it twice before watching a YouTube trailer and trying it again. It was definitely not one that I rewatched right away, however, I have rewatched parts of the show over again. I finally rewatched it fully to remind myself why I did not immediately rewatch it. My main beef with this drama is what others have said. The ML was not super kind to the FL, and it grated on me at first. As many others have stated, the culture of this drama left something to be desired. I do not like the way males treat females in many of these dramas. However, it was much less over the top and degrading than some, and they addressed it some with the fact that the FL was from another culture where the females could literally lock up men if they were out of line.
Could this have been more well done? Yes. But, overall, it was a great stress reliever for me to watch and laugh after a long day.
