Not a masterpiece but very entertaining

This is a lighthearted comedy that never takes itself too seriously. There are some very silly moments (the inept adversaries, the main characters accidentially knocking each other out, etc.) but the drama manages to steer clear of some of the most dreadful xianxia-tropes, like the endless misunderstandings, the forced breakup, the damsel-in-distress FL, etc. The romance between the FL/ML is sweet without becoming too syrupy.

The couple has a period of separation due to the FL’s amnesia, but this only lasts for a few episodes. The start may feel a bit slow, but otherwise the pacing is good and there are no drawn out boring bits.

The FL is quite a refreshing character, gutsy and straightforward, a natural opposite of the more restraint ML.

The ML’s brother provides a lot of comedy throughout the drama. His bromance in the second part of the drama was unexpected and a nice touch.
