was good at first, and then got too predicable and cringe.
before we get into the review..just keep in mind i hate most romance dramas. id much rather watch historical bl dramas (historical straight romance dramas are fine too), so i'm already biased against the genre of this drama lol
story:
i really liked the story at first, but when the romance got involved i just stopped being as interested and more like grossed out. the tournaments are pretty interesting i gotta say though, although i have heard from other people that play 王者荣耀 say that it's really unrealistic, but i don't play it so idk.
acting/cast:
i don't really like the character that cheng xiao played in this drama. they made her so ugly lmao. xu kai looks fine as always but i know this was his first drama of this style, because he used to only act in historical chinese dramas. i actually prefer him in reality c dramas and not historical ones. cheng xiao is an idol, i don't really know about her being an actor, but if she's passionate about it then go her
music:
cringe cutesy romantic music.
no other opinion
rewatch value:
i already predicted the whole story before even watching like the 5th episode so.. not rewatching this.
(tbh this is an excuse. i just thought the ending was way too fast.)
overall:
if you like romance dramas then watch this one. i wouldn't say it's.. necessarily bad.. but i personally didn't like it.

I LOVE THIS SHOW
i watched this drama because i wanted to watch something without romance, AND I WAS NOT DISAPPOINTED AT ALL.story:
the story is amazing, at first i thought it was gonna be kinda like criminal minds, a different case every episode or something, but NOPE it's so good and everything somehow ties together PERFECTLY.
acting:
each actor portrayed their character super well!!
(i'm ngl, even tho i watched this drama because i was tired of watching romance dramas, i kind of wanted a little bit of romance to happen between them.. iykyk)
music:
the music was very intense, which fit the drama very well. i don't really pay attention to music unless it's a wuxia c drama so i'm just not gonna give my opinion on this one lol
rewatch value:
i'm not sure because i literally just finished it, but all i gotta say was that it is an amazing show.
overall:
i loved it! i learned a lot of things about court, the defendant, prosecutor, and i learned a bunch of hangug-eo! everything ties up together very well, and the ending wasn't irritiating (unlike some other dramas that leave us on cliffhangers). now i'm gonna look for more k dramas haha

dropped this at six episodes
(soryr i don't know how to translate some words into english so i just wrote them in chinese lmao)before i get on with my very opinionated review, i know people are gonna think "well you haven't even watched the whole thing your opinion isn't valid" but honestly idc lmao i just didn't like the plot and the acting and the cringe romance scenes.
also, i'm more of a historical girl so many my opinion is kind of biased, especially on the romantic aspects.
the story is pretty basic, a chaotic girl and a doctor. this drama itself would be ok to me... if the main leads were switched to like "less popular" actors and the drama was not announced so early. but the the main leads are 杨紫 and 肖战 and this drama was said to air like years ago. i was excited to watch it because of the popularity of these actors and i thought it would be somewhat of a different drama, rather than the basic plot that almost every romance drama has. i knew that 杨紫 had always played a 疯疯癫癫 (chaotic?) girl, so i kind of expected that but i also kind of wished that she would try a new character. as most of you know, that didn't happen. as i said before, i prefer watching historical dramas, where the romance isn't the main plot and there's none of that... cringe? stuff. to other people it may seem cute but it's difficult for me to watch those scenes without cringing.
as for the acting, they're both really good, it's just the personality of the character that they're playing that annoys me. although i will say, doesn't matter what role 杨紫 is playing, her crying scenes are always on point. (i'm not like hating on the actors themselves or their acting skills or anything, just the 剧本 and the drama itself)
i don't really pay attention to modern drama's osts, so i don't have an opinion on this.
i didn't even finish it the first time so i probably won't come back to this.
overall, it's just not as good as i thought it would be after waiting like two years for this. i'll stick to my historical dramas :)
