I watched this for Sean and again he made it time well spent. This is an entertaining lakorn, with flaws for sure but still good to watch. I like Charlette but I don’t quite like her FL character. Instead of sassy, she comes across as being spoiled and immature many times. The SML was also too clingy and annoying, to the point where had to watch at 2x speed just to get through his scenes.
Charlette looked her age so I was thrown off at first. However Sean managed to make it work and I didn’t notice the age difference that much ultimately. Not surprisingly, there were no steamy scenes which I preferred since it would have felt awkward to me. There were many sweet moments though when both Sean and Charlette looked so good.
Overall, I would recommend this drama with a warning that it does get draggy in the middle.

I agree with you. People can criticize, but some were way too harsh. The fact is that YCY improved in this drama.
Other than Heroes and this one, I could not finish any of her other shows but I still keep trying with each drama because every new drama is a new chance to see someone do better.

I am enjoying this drama a lot, so I am glad that it is successful! The FL has improved so I hope that more people would give the show a chance.
I think whether or not an actress or actor is successful also depends on the role. For example, I cannot imagine Liu Yi Fei playing the FL in this drama despite being a great actress. Seven Tan may play it perfectly, but I think she has moved beyond playing simple-minded characters. Esther Yu got a lot of hate at first because of her voice which also typecasted her in naive innocent roles but she has gained recognition over time.

Actually Esther Yu has been recognized to be a good actress. Many cannot stand her voice but many have become fans in spite of it.
She won Best Actress of 2023 on the Weibo platform which is a pretty big platform.
I won’t compare the characters themselves since different dramas with different plot lines.

Agree! I started paying attention to him since Intense Love and he just brings his A-game each time. Very charismatic! Even though his visuals are not my usual preference, i find him very attractive in his roles. I think any FL would be lucky to pair with him since he just has that effect!

I think it is because compared to other actresses, she is still pretty bad. I have tried to watch every show she was in so I know she has definitely improved in the crying aspect in this drama.
I agree that people should not be so hard on the actors but reviews and ratings also include an assessment of the acting skills and people are going to critique when there is something to criticize.

Woah, that’s crazy. Many items look similar and I cannot believe people are so picky to that point.

I saw many comments about the livestream and how the actors are facing so much pressure. That really is too bad.

What’s up with the weird schedule? There’s no pattern to it.

Rewatched some episodes because I couldn’t get over what an excellent drama this is. 10/10 - a rating I haven’t given for a long time!

Cool! You caught up fast!

They were attracted to each other pretty early on and it became more obvious in ep 6

Ooh, that’s awesome. I really enjoy the humor in this drama so I am sure it will be hilarious 😆

Yeah he hasn’t “kai qiao” ( Mandarin for realizing his emotions) 😆 but at least he’s smart enough to realize that Xiu Ming was up to no good.

😒 because of the SML, I watched these last two episodes at 1.5 speed because he was just too annoying.
I really hope that in the next trial, they will make the character for Xiang Yun smarter. It would be nice to see the FL less simple-minded and naive. I want to see more balance instead of just the ML being the smart one each time.

This was such a soothing drama to watch. Yes, there were angsty scenes but the overall experience was just so calm and pleasant to watch.

Evan Lin is such an eye candy and since it's only his second drama, I'll forgive his stiffness in acting lol. I hope that he will act more in more dramas soon. I have always liked Wan Peng and my only complaint is that her kissing has not improved. Haha!

Overall, it was time well spent and I would recommend this show.

That’s true! His remarks were suspicious about Cang Hai 🤔

They have good chemistry together!

This one is interesting and I like the leads.

😆😆 oh yes, us poor viewers!!!
