Please watch it for yourself.

Unexpectedly I watched this drama in a period of only two days? It can be lesser. However please bear in mind that I am the type of viewer that does not have the ounce of patience in anticipating and waiting for the next episode in another week or so. But thankfully this show made it easy for me to want to know what happens next, made me moderately engrossed into it. Which is I suppose good.

The plot was decently alright. Nothing too grand or too unexpected. The story consists of romance, love, a little youth, childhood memories, friendship, family but putting aside the mushy stuff.

The individuals in the drama radiates ambition, determination, perseverance in achieving what they want. Stopping at nothing. More or less most of them got what they want.

However the only downside is the sauciness that most viewers find it desirable for a drama to have. This was not really present. I m not sure why? I mean put it simply a little sauce should be mandatory for any romance drama. It finally binds the love between the characters making it all the more romantic and swoon worthy for the audience.

Unfortunately I don’t see that here. I m not sure? Maybe it’s the fact that the main actress was only in her 20 or 19 when she was filming this idk? But yea it was lacking in this drama.

Nonetheless, overall it’s decently alright. I don’t feel guilty or too depressed when I finished it till the end and kept going till the next episode and the next. Will I watch it again? Likely not. I mean I did put it down during the first attempt but the second attempt I find it alright.

However I am just one one person. My preference might not be the same as everyone else so you would have to see for yourself.

But hopefully this review can make you watch it with an open mind and help you in some way.

Sweet and romantic. But imma stop watching for now.

I am well aware that all the episodes have not been released yet. But hear me out, I ve pretty much more or less get an idea of what happened on the 22 episodes that was recently uploaded. So I got simple insights of my own on the drama. So let’s not hate but open a friendly discussion or you can just not read this review altogether :).

So the drama, no surprise. Is very sweet, adorable and romantic. The loving and detailed gestures of the ML trying to comfort or care for the Fl is the sort of thing we make weird faces at as it squeezes our heart strings.

I don’t really have much to say about the plot. I mean it’s decent. Not too complicated nor is it that simple. It’s not perfect but it’s alright. There is of course romance, the slow but promising journey between the two characters love blossoming and strengthening as time goes by although they are engaged. Could it be that, getting engaged first and falling in love after truly? Is the way to go? Idk. Just a random thought.

They went through troubles here and there. Because if he’s family mostly but it seems like the FL still held on and stayed by his side which is good. It gets kinda annoying when the FL discovers something bad and end up ditching the Ml only to have him chase after her and pleading to take him back. It romantic at first but I don’t favour that type of characters.

Strong female characters that don’t easily take shit from others even her in laws and fight to stay by her partner side like a queen is the way to go!

Speaking of which Bai lu of course, did a remarkable job. She is an actress after all. She is very pretty, adorable and I can only imagine very professional and enjoyable to work with. It can be seen in this drama. Her modern wear was gorgeous on her. So did the historical wear of course.

She kinda depicted the beautiful girl falling in love with the nerdy bookworm.. to him he like don’t see the attractiveness in him but she sees beyond appearances and find what was inside matters the most so she fell head over heel in love with him.. some scenes she make the first move to do this and that since he’s rather shy and not good at expressing feelings. She don’t mind talking about random topics which are like almost boring but she didn’t find it to be boring at all or weird at all.

So the role switch in these minor details are very good and crucial for any viewer to fall in love with the characters. It’s almost exhausting seeing the ML always make the first moves we should see more female characters making the first move and being active in these sort of endeavour but bearing in mind they too should be treated not as a baby princess but a queen.

I don’t know the ending, which I m fine with just sharing my insights with what I have so far to appease myself. I am going to stop watching for now. Just a personal preference to halt watching this first. But I may or may not come back to it.

The dudes character is of course adorable. Allen Ren is a good actor sure. He s wife and son would have been proud. Omg sorry I can’t seem to wrap around the idea that this dudes married and has a kid. Woah...... oh well. I was shipping him with bai Lu at first like Ang romance dramas but turns out he has a family. A bit of bummer to be honest but good for him. Family is important no matter your career is.

So the drama to me right now is decent. It’s okay. But the disappointing factor is the passionate scenes between the two. I mean I know there were like one or two. But very little kiss scenes. Even when there were, it was like an almost kiss then someone interrupts other than that there is really no sauciness in this. Some of the viewers are into that, likewise. So yes that’s lacking here.

Anyways, this is only one person opinion. Some might not find it credible enough Being that the drama isn’t over and I haven’t watched it all. But this is a personal review. Agree or not. I suppose you gotta watch it yourself to come up with an opinion.

Didn’t meet the hype and expectations.

I am a sucker for powerful brave strong and smart women who in addition can kick butts through martial arts or whatever. It’s super touching, empowering and just plan badass. I always eye for such shows that has these kinds of woman portrayal. I thought when I read the description this show that this would be my cup of tea. I started watching it with a ready heart but it unfortunately didn’t move me that much.

I am also a sucker for fiery passionate romance but too was lacking. It seemed as though there was a lot of potential in this show but it hasn’t fulfilled that potential to the fullest. I don’t really know how to comment on the romance because it was very confusing and just dull.

The looks of the cast were alright. The story is decent but it didn’t move me as much as I would have hoped in any aspects of it. I get weirded out when a historical drama be wearing long ass pins and needles on their body as a costume but I was hoping that all the other factors I am looking for could make up for that and it didn’t. The love triangle makes no sense to me nor was it swoony. It was like it’s fine if she didn’t end up with either and that’s exactly what happened she didn’t. Sigh....

I probably won’t rewatch it. But it’s decent for others who doesn’t look out for these things or perceive the show as I do.
