First of all this drama is not a sequel to Eternal Love Peach Blossom. It's a drama based on the original novel and I'm glad they stay true to the book.
PLEASE WATCH IT AS IT IS ON ITS OWN WITHOUT PREJUDICE.

The casts are excellent. Vengo & Diliraba are doing a fantastic job as DH and FJ. No one else can be in that role except them. They really brought out the cold aloof DH yet shameless n flirty side of DH n cheeky n mischievous yet spunky, full of spirit FJ. I'm glad the director didn't do flash backs of DH trial but layout for us viewers to see and understand easily. It's less confusing. The story slowly unfolds and shows FJ growth from a young girly fox who is quite childish to mature up when she was made to understand her actions have consequences and she has to be responsible for those consequences. Ep 21 is epic ... the acting of OTP is excellent.

Now I'm enjoying the courtship of our OTP. I'm also beginning to enjoy little Ah Li. He is too funny. Yes he still looks like a girl but in real life there are little boys who are too handsome that are often mistaken as girls too n vice versa. The child actor is excellent. Ah Li is too wise for his age. Ep 25 & 26 is hilarious. Ah li & DH are definitely not helping FJ at all. One did it innocently while the other does it blatantly and shamelessly. Poor FJ is always outwitted by DH. ????

Love the friendship between FJ and Simin. Like I said before, even the supporting .... everyone is excellent in their role.
