This will just be me ranting honestly.

The main bits I really did like about this series are that FL and ML have a really authentic and cute romance, nothing was cliched, there was no stupidity, no misunderstandings, and best of all, they act like actual best friends, which is something you don't often see in a chinese period drama series. Second thing I loved, is that FL is surrounded by good people, whether it's her previous family, her friend who sacrificed herself, the friend's father, her current family, and of course her 3 love interests, and yes i'm excluding that demented bish LYQ for obvious reasons. There is no unnecessary dramatic family fighting scenes, no sibling rivalry (ok there was just slightly), no parents who refuse to understand their children, which are all again very very commonly found in chinese period dramas.

Now for the bits I didn't like so much, the plot itself. While I enjoyed the series as a whole with the slowburn romance, I faintly remember there also being a mystery plotline as they try to unravel the hidden story behind FL's father's death. But then, this mystery thing basically was left untouched, except for maybe a few minutes here and there within some episodes. It was completely sidelined, and I nearly even forgot about it, which is not a good thing, as that is supposedly the whole reason our FL is where she's at right now. It was definitely wonderful seeing FL's amazing feats and her crazy medical skills, but it would be nice if they also touched on how she's actually using those skills for the benefit of her revenge. It's interesting how our FL who was so hell-bent on revenge and even risked her life to do so, somehow seemed to lose all of that anger and wish for revenge throughout the series.

Basically, watch it for the romance plotline, but maybe not so much for the mystery and revenge bit of the story. And as much as I hate LYQ, I do admire the actor for making me hate him so much.

Rant over.
