I really didn't think this story made sense but.....

I really wanted to enjoy this drama because I do like most of Zhao Lu Si's shows. I love how she can be silly in a lot of her dramas cause she is really good at it without it being so annoying that you want to turn the show off. There were things I liked about this drama it will make you laugh and it does have some pretty cute moments in it but where they really lost me was the last 10 episodes.

Why I liked this drama: All the actors did great playing their roles with the story they were given even the second male lead that will annoy you through most of the show, but he plays his character really well that you can't be to mad at him. There are also parts that will make you laugh and that you will find cute. So the Drama is really lighthearted for the most part.

Why I disliked this drama: Number one answer the STORY it just went everywhere it was like the director didn't know what way he wanted this drama to go and there were scenes that just didn't make any sense what so ever but they threw it in it anyway. Another reason is like I have already stated the second male lead he is really annoying through the whole thing. At times it would seem that the show was a bit more about him then anything he was in almost every scene ( So good thing he could play his part well) he literally can't take no for an answer. Even though you won't root for the second male lead through this at all I also felt he had more chemistry with Zhao Lu Si then Xu Kai Cheng.

So overall I wouldn't recommend this drama just because of the story but if you are someone who can look past that and just enjoy the actors then I think you would enjoy this drama.

Such a great watch!!!

Don't think anything I said is spoilers if anything is I'm sorry.

This drama almost had everything I love in a drama if only it would of had a better romance story my rating would of been a 10. I feel like that was the only thing missing in this drama which is disappointing and a waste of chemistry between Neo Hou and Chen Du Ling, but even with that being from me it was still so worth watching.

The three actors I really enjoyed watching was Neo Hou, Tian Jia Rui, and Yan An. Their characters were my absolute favorite in this drama and their interactions together. That is what really shined for this drama was the friendships that formed with all characters and the way they all grew to understand each other. Also the fights scenes were really incredible to watch.

One thing I do want to put in this review is that I absolutely fell in love with the character Li Lun played by Yan An. Yes he is the villain (mostly), but his story and watching how amazing the actor portrayed him I just loved. He will definitely be one of my top characters. Yan An is just way to pretty!!!

Now on to just a few nitpicks that even got to me though I did really enjoy watching this drama.
1st: All the crying is most of the scenes. I do think they did go over board with it and it was really unnecessary. Especially when you can tell it is fake crying with the way the tears fall down the face.
2nd: The over done music, and I really do enjoy the songs for this drama. It was just one song really that got to me I felt like they played it over and over again that I actually didn't want to hear it anymore. Wished they would of played Liu Yu Ning's song more but maybe that is just me.
3rd: Not hating on the actresses so don't hate me but I didn't really enjoy the two main girls in this. Chen Du Ling's character was supposed to be this powerful goddess but it felt like she spent most of her time on the ground. Cheng Xiao's character felt kinda incomplete like they didn't know what to do with. She is an incredible fighter but she does a lot of standing around and being in the background. She also didn't feel like part of the group a lot of the times.
I really think this is worth the watch though even with my little nitpicks. If you are a romance lover and that is the only thing you really enjoy this may not be it for you, because they do have a little bit of a love story but it could of been better. They really could of done more with it, but the friendships of this story is worth it. The three actors I mentioned are worth watching.

Cringefest!!

I try not to do too many dropped reviews, but felt like I should explain why I finally decided just to drop this drama.

I actually really looked forward to this drama, and thought it was going to be so good. Even loved the costumes they were showing for Dilraba. I still do. Dilraba does not disappoint, and her costumes are amazing just like I thought they would be. But sadly even Dilraba could not save this drama for me. The story just seems to really be going nowhere and seems pointless at times, but let me get into my biggest problem with this drama. That is the chemistry!! There is none between these two and found a lot of the dialogue between the two just so cringe. That I just couldn't do it anymore. I have never seen the ML before in a drama and this drama does not make me a fan for him. I don't know if they wanted him to be so goofy or if they wanted him to be such a lovesick puppy, but it didn't go with the general character he was supposed to be playing. Before anyone thinks it has to do with older female and younger male I don't care about that as long as the romance is good and vice versa if its younger female older male. I am a romance lover I want to watch a good love story so a drama really goes down hill for me when the chemistry is really off. I will even try to fast forward to watch a drama, but I didn't care enough for the love story to even do that. I love Dilraba and I think she is the best thing about this drama. So if you think the leads have chemistry you may be able to do better than me.
