Not worth your time

This drama started out strong and kept me interested until around episode 18 or 19 (I forgot). I really like the chemistry between Zhang Zhe Han and Ju Jing Yi as the ML and FL and the first half was filled with interesting interactions between those two, as well as some sweet moments that made me go through a couple of times. When I get past that half-way mark, particularly after they became a married couple, the story is lost on me, it becomes draggy, and FL becomes a very annoying, selfish and unreasonable character a lot of the times. I felt that there are some plot holes and the political part of the story I thought was a mess, and the ending, although a happy one, felt a bit rushed to me. Similar to other reviewers' comments, the motivation behind Duke An's revenge and his jealousy seems like a lame part of the story. They could have developed the story better and make him a better villain. Acting is just so-so, and to be honest I'm only watching this for Zhang Zhe Han, but even then I thought his acting here is just so-so.

I have to give a special mention to the second ML and FL Wu Bai Qi and Fu Xuan. They're so sweet, Wu Bai Qi is my favorite character in this drama. I would have given this drama a lower rating if not for him and ZZH's sweet moments with JJY.

Music is okay, but I found that no particular song (opening or ending theme) strikes my fancy and I did not add any of the songs from this series to my playlist. Maybe if i am more emotionally invested in the series, the songs would be nicer to listen to as I reminisce the moments from the series, but noooooooooo.....

Rewatch Value: NO WAY. I have a long list of dramas to watch, so I am not coming back to watch this draggy and boring drama.

I would not recommend you watching this drama, except you are an even bigger fans of Zhang Zhe Han than I am and can be content with poor story lines as long as you can see his handsome face (because we won't see him again in future dramas :(... sad)
