This show is underrated. It starts off with lots of slapstick humor that reminds me of Stephen Chow comedy and it is hilarious for those who can appreciate such humor. The silliness tones down in the later part of the show but the humor is still on point.

There is a strong message about female empowerment and I think this show managed to convey that message pretty well.

Xu Lu played the FL well, and I like that the FL was not an airhead. She was plucky, smart and eventually became a truly "Jiang Hu" heroine! Xu Lu and Caesar Wu paired well and their antics always managed to make laugh out loud. In fact I really liked most of the cast - they must have had a good time with this show!

I was not so sure about Riley Wang's character though - I feel like it could have been better although I wouldn't be surprised that he accepted this script because it was fun.

Overall, I thought it was a good mood-booster show that one can binge through fairly quickly.

OK, thank you!!! I'll look for it ;D

I think you're right! I have not watched his other shows that are not rom-coms, but they didn't seem to do as well, at least by MDL ratings.

I agree - Xu Lu and him are cute together!

Let me know if you have older ones to recommend. I am trying to catch up ;D

Ah ok. You’re watching so many but most of these shows are more filler so you can fit them in as you wait for the others’ new episodes

That’s good! The SFL should finally get the one she likes!

For this show or Egg and Stone?

I think you’re right! The SFL kept saying that she was not going to confess since she failed with the ML. So I agree that she will give up and the SML will find out and realize that he’s been attracted to her all along!

I put that show on my watch list after seeing him in this show. For those who complained that there were no good looking male characters should be happy that Shen Mu was added 😁

I just finished Egg and Stone. It was silly funny.
This one too is kind of light and fluffy. Good filler show when you don’t want to think too much. The leads are good together - not wow chemistry but not too bad either.

Thank you! I appreciate you taking the time to read my review. I hope that you enjoyed or are enjoying the show if you watched or are watching it!

I haven’t watched that one yet so I will check it out!

Ep 8 - love the ending and the lantern references. I look forward to the introduction of the next character!

Ep 7 was not easy to watch. It made me so angry about the way Rulan and Shen Mu were treated, as they tried to fight the corrupt justice system.

I admire Rulan's bravery, and I appreciate the entry of Shen Mu, someone who is introduced for his moral standing.

I wish Rulan would forgive Meng Wan. She really needs the support.

I'm enjoying the show, but I do agree that Miles Wei needs to get better ML scripts that allow him to expand his acting range. I've only seen him in light rom-coms and the best so far is with Hu Xi Yuan.

Fun and fluffy - this show is a nice distraction among heavier dramas!

Yes, very true!!!

Ok, so the last bit was a bit cringey lol but in a very good way!!! If this was real life, they would not allowed so much time on stage - haha..

Since the show made me feel so good in the last 15 minutes for our wonderful couple, Sheng Yang and Jian Bing, and his parents, I am going to forget my annoyances about the other characters including the fact that the show spent the first 30 minutes of the final episode to wrap up the love lines of the other characters.

I will still give this show a good rating because it was time well spent watching.

Same here! While it's nice to see the ML no longer doing the whole noble idiocy thing and staying committed to the relationship, there's really no need to stretch out this plot so much!

Simple and sweet - this show spotlights Thai traditions like Yan lipao weaving and tie dyeing via the stories of two couples from different generations. I like that it was a mix of different cultures and languages. It’s a good watch when you want something calming and slow-paced. It’s got some bittersweet relatable moments which make sense and fit the story well.
