First of all, I will shamelessly confess that I decided to watch this mostly because of the eye candy😍 the leading 3 male characters 😍😍😍 but also the president (I never hated him lol, I mean look at that face😅). Even the other serious guy that was friends with the president😍 ok let me calm down. I ofcourse loved the fl too
I enjoyed the show for the most part. Usually dramas that involve a secret identity end up frustrating me when they drag the “secret identity” plot line. This drama was actually fun to watch because there were a lot of different interesting characters. Her time as Wen Bin was actually interesting. It was less about romance and more about brotherhood and friendship which I enjoyed very much. I watched it for romance but I wasn’t disappointed that it wasn’t romance heavy. The character of Yue Xuan stole the show for me, he was probably the most interesting character to me. I liked most of the scholars too and I liked the dynamic among the trio of Wen Bin, Cheng Jun and Lei Ze Xin. However for a show that invested in showing all these relationships the fl was building with different characters while being disguised as a man, I was quite disappointed with the ending. The ending wasn’t bad per se but I just felt it was a little too rushed. What happened in the year that they skipped with the time jump? What happened to the president and other characters? I know her revealing her identity as a woman would have most probably landed her in a lot of trouble but I just wanted to see how the teachers and scholars would have reacted to finding out she was a girl. I wanted to see the look on the president’s face. Even the reaction of her closest friends was kind meh. I understand that they found out early on but I just expected more. A better ending (albeit unrealistic but this is a drama so who cares) would have been everyone finding out she’s woman, ofcourse she would get in trouble a little bit but maybe she would then go to court, explain why she did what she did, prove that women too are capable of being scholars, receive a royal pardon on account of her contributions and be remembered as a legendary woman. I just feel like the way they explained the real Wen Bin taking over her identity was just not satisfactory to me. Don’t get me wrong though, I enjoyed the drama and I’m looking forward to seeing this cp in another drama.
omg that last scene. I just know there’s some kind of misunderstanding😅 I’ve played this games before 🙊 I’m really enjoying this. I hope they keep the momentum. it’s always a fun watch
just finished episode 34 and I just wanted to say, I would usually find this type of show to be boring but I’m fascinated by it somehow. props to the leads who have both done such a good job. I love how mature and healthy their relationship is and I like the other themes explored
This was cute but also one of the most frustrating dramas ever. I have a love-hate relationship with the fl in particular. Like omg grow a pair. I was hoping in the end we would see some growth and she would be the one to confess but no we didn’t get that. she was pining for the second ml for the majority of the show. it was cute at first but then after a while it was extremely frustrating. in the end there was barely enough time for us to experience the leads as a couple. we didn’t even get to see their parents’ reaction. 36 episodes and they didn’t have time for that? I hate it when dramas waste time on useless plot lines and end up not having time to wrap things up. I sound like a real hater but the thing is I was actually enjoying this drama. it was really emotional especially at the start, I even shed a few tears but the way they handled the main romance plot left a lot to be desired. if handled correctly, this could have been one of the best coming of age dramas
What you say is true. But has Rong really achieved any success? She's the secretary of an idiot. After all of…
I had already seen a spoiler prior to that scene. when she made that comment at the party it all made sense. she thinks she chose the right side lol. Do you think Rong knows who Xi Guang’s boyfriend really is? like who he is family is?

I guess when I said success I just meant her being able to get an expensive bag etc. you’re right, it’s not really success. she was so obsessed with surpassing Xi Guang that she ended up working for an idiot.
Just finished episode 31 and Zhuang Xu is laughably delusional. When he finally snaps out of it, and I hope he does, he’s gonna cringe at how embarrassing he is. Like I get it, being poor can be traumatic and it can leave you feeling deeply insecure and feeling like you’re unworthy of certain things but he needs to deal with that himself. It is not fair to project that onto Xi Guang. I’m glad she stood her ground and drew clear boundaries because he was out of line. He has a good job now, surely he can afford therapy. Same with Rong, sis needs to get a grip. She is in this imaginary competition with Xi Guang. Rong has always been insecure and envious of her. Like it’s not Xi Guang’s fault that she’s rich, pretty and likeable. Rong needs to deal with her stuff too. Even with all the success she has now, Xi Guang stays in her head rent free.
anyways the beginning of this show was electric, I was really enjoying it but it took me a while to finish the last 2-3 episodes. The excitement just fizzled out. The sad part is that they had all the ingredients to produce a great show from start to finish but the writing failed them. The last part wasn’t that bad but they could have done a better job handling it
