Make sure you have tissues nearby, because this drama will make you cry non-stop.

This drama really made me want to cry 😭. What I love most is how the mystery unfolds bit by bit in every episode, instead of saving everything for the final part. The storytelling is beautifully structured, the CGI is impressive, and the costumes are absolutely stunning.

One scene that really stayed with me is when Wuyi says, “Don’t cry, don’t be sad. Awu will always be with you.” I loved it so much that I ended up memorizing the line in Mandarin.

As for the romance, I didn’t find the relationship between Jiling and Wuyi cringe or cheesy at all it felt genuinely sweet. Meanwhile, the relationship between Wangyuan and Shi Guang feels more mature. It’s like they still have that youthful love, but with the emotional depth of adults. It’s a bit hard to describe, but it feels more grounded and real.

And speaking of Wangyan, she really feels like the eldest sister who carries a heavy responsibility, silently holding everything together even when she’s completely broken inside.

Also… why is the villain so hard to defeat? 😂 It’s like she/he die, come back, die again, and then come back again. Usually in cdramas, the villain is defeated once and that’s it.

In the final episode, I actually felt bad for Lijie, especially when he was searching for Jiling. As for the ending, I think it was quite satisfying a happy ending for me, even though I know some people found it sad. Yes, their memories were erased, but it still felt reasonable. So many people had already died fighting the villain, and Wuyi was never meant to survive until the end anyway. Compared to living on while remembering all that pain or losing memories, but some of them are still alive. I think the ending made sense.

Anyway, Jiling and Wuyi have become one of my favorite couples. They’ve gone through so much suffering together. Wuyi went through countless time loops just to save Jiling, and as for Jiling… no words could ever fully capture the depth of his pain, his love, and everything he’s going through.😭

Long story short, they faced countless hardships, but their relationship only grew stronger over time. I’m honestly so grateful they finally got their own ending after everything they went through even if it’s in a different universe.

A Drama That Turned Food Reactions Into Pure Comedy

I've been waiting for this drama for a month, and I finally finished it last week. I absolutely loved it and gave it a 10/10.

This drama is incredibly funny. The way everyone reacted to Kang Seong-jae's food was so over the top and ridiculous, and that's exactly what made me laugh. While watching, I kept thinking, "What kind of drama am I watching? Why is it so hilarious?" 😂 Their exaggerated reactions made the comedy even better.

I also loved the friendship between Kang Seong-jae, Dong Hyeon, Ha Kyung, and his teammates in the military. Their chemistry was one of my favorite parts of the drama.

Can you believe this drama even went as far as creating a song for a K-pop idol group and having them perform on Mnet? Wow, big clap 👏. I was really impressed.

Another reason I enjoyed this drama so much is because the male lead never gave up. No matter how many obstacles he faced, he always kept trying. I still remember the final episode even without the system, he was determined to do his best and serve the best dishes possible.

Overall, this drama made me laugh so much and left me with a warm feeling. Definitely one of my favorites. ❤️

I hope I can find a workplace like Tengda someday.

Just imagine what kind of company would want to lose money? Yet in this drama, the more the company loses, the more Pei Qian profits. At first, I thought 5,000 yuan wasn’t that bad, at least it’s a monthly salary. But then I got curious and converted it into my country’s currency, and I was honestly surprised by how low it actually is. That probably explains why Pei Qian works so hard to make his company lose money.

Even though the beginning had plenty of funny moments that made me laugh, as the story progressed and Pei Qian’s smile slowly faded, the humor became less frequent, though it was still there. But it’s okay it was still enjoyable for me.

While watching this drama, I actually felt jealous of the Tengda employees. Even though they’re fictional characters, I was still jealous. I wish I had a boss like Pei Qian and a working environment like Tengda. I don’t mean things like going home early or arriving late like in Tengda’s rules, because jobs like that rarely exist in real life. What I really mean is the positive working environment there. Kind coworkers, a good boss, very high salaries, and great office facilities.

It’s not that my own workplace is bad it’s actually good but the atmosphere at Tengda still made me wish I could work somewhere like that.

Overall, I really enjoyed this story. It kept me looking forward to the next episode every time.

Overall rating: 9.5/10.
I actually wanted to give it a 10, but there were a few parts that felt slightly lacking, so I decided on 9.5 instead. 😄

In terms of romance, I’d say this couple has one of the healthiest relationships I’ve seen in a drama. There’s no love triangle, no misunderstandings they support each other through everything. The male lead is such a green flag. he protects and stands by the female lead no matter what. They both look out for each other, and whenever there’s a problem, they solve it together. For me, their romance feels balanced and genuine. I also really like the second and third couples, especially Yanli and Yuening ( they’re so funny for me)

However, there are a few weaknesses in this drama, but honestly, they’re not that bad especially since the story focuses on mystery solving cases (which is totally my type of drama). Because the female lead is a coroner, the autopsy scenes are detailed . She explains the causes and reasons clearly. The case solving parts are also good, but one weakness is that the culprit is quite easy to identify.

Usually, when I watch dramas with mystery solving cases , it’s hard to guess who the culprit is there’s always some unexpected plot twist that makes me go, “wait, seriously? It’s that person?” But in this drama, I could already guess who the culprit was from episode 1, even though the case wasn’t solved yet. I thought maybe I was wrong, but it turned out I was right. So I figured maybe it was just for that case, but for the rest of the episodes, I still managed to guess who did it.

Maybe the writer or director intentionally made it that way so we could focus more on understanding the motives behind their actions ( I’m not sure). That’s the only weakness I can think of, and it’s still acceptable. Overall, the cases are well done.

A Happy Ending Drama

Lol, I really love Nanheng’s facial expressions he so cute whenever he looks at Yimeng. It’s rare for me, but from start to finish I’ve been hooked on this drama. (Okay, maybe there are a few parts that are a bit boring, but still pretty interesting overall.) From the very beginning, I was already laughing so hard when Nanheng tried to poison Yimeng especially the moment he was about to give her the poison. (Hahaha, I just couldn’t stop laughing at that scene!)

Actually, I do agree with some comments saying Yimeng is a bit selfish for not trusting Nanheng and choosing to trust the script instead, even though Nanheng repeatedly told her to trust him. But from Yimeng’s point of view, I get why she’s scared especially after reading the script beforehand. No matter how much she tries, the main plot doesn’t change, even under different circumstances. Still, there are moments where I get frustrated with Yimeng and just wish she would trust Nanheng a little more.

But because since she eventually started trusting him, I’ll let it slide. Poor Nanheng nobody trusts him, even though he’s so kind. Even the Emperor hates him, despite being his own father. If I were in Nanheng’s place, I’d be like, “Who cares? I might as well rebel!” (Hahaha.) But well, men who are green flags kind and smart like Nanheng only exist in dramas.

I did watch some spoilers and it’s rare to see a drama where no characters die, aside from the villains, and everyone gets their own happy ending.

By the way, since I haven’t finished the drama yet, I haven’t decided on my final rating. For now, it’s a solid 9/10
