The Biggest Plot Twist Was My Opinion of This Drama
Rating: 9/10
I'll be honest: I almost dropped Qingqiu Apothecary during the first few episodes.
The introduction left me confused, and I wasn't entirely sure where the story was heading. The only reason I continued was because of He De Rui, and I'm very glad I did.
At just 24 episodes with a runtime of around 10 minutes each, it's an easy drama to binge. What started as a series I was unsure about gradually turned into one of my favorite surprise watches of the year. The cast does a solid job, particularly He De Rui and Meng En. While some scenes can be unintentionally funny due to the low-budget production, the story has enough charm, mystery, and character chemistry to keep viewers invested.
As for the question many viewers are asking: is it BL? Officially, no. However, I think the drama intentionally leaves room for different interpretations, and that's part of what makes it interesting.
My advice is simple: don't judge this drama too quickly. Give it a chance to reveal what it's actually trying to do.
