That Cheng "Ryan" Lei eyes are spiritually beautiful
Cheng "Ryan" Lei and Bai Lu made this story come to life in a unique way. Ryan is a softie, but he can become aggressive in a good way in this drama. I felt they had good chemistry with one another, but it was more like a sibling pairing. They need to make another drama together to show me even more chemistry. I'm laughing right now because these two artists are my favorite lead actors in Chinese dramas, so I would definitely love to see them together again.
Okay, okay... let me get to the drama.
I loved the way they moved from normal life to a costume drama and then back again to real life. I especially loved the historical storyline, where Cheng Lei's character was healed by Bai Lu, and how their chemistry grew stronger after that. I think Bai Lu's character was initially shocked to find herself in a historical timeline, an enduring civilization rather than a conventional nation-state. I felt that her character, Ye Li, had to rediscover her beloved Mo Xiao Yao, the Prince... and she did!
Both Cheng Lei and Bai Lu were excellent in their roles. I loved everything about this drama. I especially enjoy stories like this, where characters travel from the future to relive the lives of their ancestors and then return with a deeper understanding of themselves. I will definitely be watching it again to see if I missed anything.
NOTE: I was really anxious to see this Chinese Drama when I thought it was going to be shown in November, 2025 then January and had to wait until April 2026. I couldn't wait for the whole drama to air on Disney, but couldn't, so I watch the episodes day by day until finished. Now I will watch it a 2nd time straight through. Yes, for these two actors, I can do that.
