Sweet 7 lifetime romance with almost zero drama
I decided to watch this because I didn’t know what else to watch. I’ve been watching a lot of Ding Yuxi dramas lately and finished several of them, so I picked this one up. It’s also the first Yang Chaoyue series I’ve ever watched. I’ve heard her name a lot but only just realized I’d never seen any drama where she was the female lead. The plot is really good. The structure of the seven connected lifetimes has nice parallels and small details that don’t feel repetitive. Each life is different—sometimes only one of them remembers, sometimes both do, sometimes neither does—which keeps it from getting boring and adds mystery that makes you want to keep watching.
For me, the early episodes moved along enjoyably even though it felt a bit slow at times, especially the second lifetime. The first lifetime (as animals) was quite funny, and the third was fun too. Around the middle it slowed down and I felt a bit bored, but from episode 25 onward—especially the later part of the fifth lifetime and the sixth—it got really good and exciting. The second male lead in the second and third lifetimes is one of the most annoying second male leads of all time for me, even though he turns out to be a good person in the end. The main villain’s death at the end also felt a bit too easy. Ding Yuxi as Chu Kong is definitely the highlight of the show. He plays multiple lifetimes and different personalities really well. Yang Chaoyue as Xiang Yun is very cute. Her acting isn’t particularly outstanding and there are a few points you can nitpick, but it’s not bad enough to make the show unwatchable. Their chemistry is good. The relationship is sweet and adorable with some sad moments mixed in. Because the male lead is quite straightforward, there’s almost no misunderstanding drama between them.Production is beautiful—costumes, sets, and the opening OST is excellent.
Overall, This drama has a very interesting plot about seven connected lifetimes. It’s a sweet story. The pacing can drag and feel a bit boring in some parts, but the main focus is the story and relationship between the leads. If you’re looking for a couple who are in love and have almost zero misunderstanding drama, this one feels very comforting to watch. You can definitely give this a try.
