1 and 1/2 thumbs up
The lead actors were great, especially the male lead: Cheng Yi... now a fan. The chemistry, the dialogues between the two was wonderful.The development of the lead characters was great. There was growth. The acting was believable... so I was invested emotionally in their wellbeings.
Beautiful cinematography.
Great interactions/dialogues.
Saraj Zhao: performance was great!
Vicki Liang: supporting actress. Great!
Overall worth watching. The conclusion should have been at 50... unnecessary last few episodes. I believe condensing the entire drama to maybe 40 episodes would have made the drama tighter.

Love the leads!
I can see why the main characters Sean Xiao and Wang Yi Bo became super famous after this drama. At first watch, I stopped watching it. It was months later I returned and not let the CGI bothered me that I enjoyed the story unfold itself. I am happy with the drama and make sure to check on the new dramas by the two new actors. The lead characters' chemistry really didn't flourish until after 10ish episodes but once the spark flew I was invested in their well beings and allowed their actings to take me to the world they created.The drama is worth the time on the story between the leads.

Best CDrama in 2020
This is a must-watch drama! The story took me away from this horrible year of 2020.- Acting was superb by all involved, especially the two male leads. Huang Xiao Ming and Andrew Yin. Their brilliant acting was a reason I didn't take away any point of the terrible robotic voices of the Japanese characters.
- The story is well written: the pace, the artistic direction were great.
- Technically flawless and beautiful.
- The human aspect of the story, the dialogues... two thumbs up!
Highly recommended. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the show! You will laugh. You will cry. You will fall in love with Huang Xiao Ming and Andrew Yin!

Love it.
Considering Youku intentionally sabotage the show in limiting the number of episodes released per week so that it wouldn't be too popular so that the entire series can be broadcasted, that alone deserve a 10 out of 10.There were flaws with the story and closer to the end felt rushed, but the two leads' chemistry what made WOH so special. The supporting characters were great.
Now that every episode is shown, I will binge-watch it. It would have made more sense than watching 3 episodes per week and waiting for it. It took away the rhythm and the beauty of the show.
