It's just shallow and fun. Messed up? yes but still fun.
Lemme say the negatives first.
This show is a Transmigration fantasy with a healthy dose of romantic comedy and tragedy.
This show had some of the most messed up events that I have ever seen in a drama, which leads into my first issue.
The tone is always a little off? I'm not sure if it's the lack of budget, but as harrowing as the events that take place are. I felt that the show didn't do enough to create a truly moving atmosphere.
The show looks bad, the costumes look bad, even the wigs and extensions look bad. Nothing bothered me more than the bad wigs, omg.
Second lead couple held no interest for me at all either, they were so boring to watch, up until one of them lost their memory, that kinda had me dialed in.
The editing was so abrupt and janky in MANY scenes. People would start a scene in one position and then they'll cut in the middle of a full on frontal shot (with nothing to hide behind) and magically everyone is in a different position with new facial expressions.
Everything technical is just a little off.
I really don't care tho, I loved this show and had so much fun watching it.
It's got a coherent, linear story that didn't leave me feeling stupid at any point. It's chock full of cliche tropes that just kept me hooked. I was always excited to watch the next episodes and see what would happen to my leads. Both leads made me so invested, and have a good amount of development by the end. They don't end the show the same way they started.
I've literally been avoiding Arthur Chen since 2020's Legend of Awakening, but he wasn't too bad here at all. I think he had a pretty good performance and if that is his real voice… I might become a fan. Minus that “white guy smile” face in did in way too many scenes.
I'm not really familiar with Wang YingLu but I did enjoy her performance! It wasn't the most moving every episode, but I liked it enough. No one's acting offended me, and that's all that matters.
I feel like this show is pretty comparable to Till the End of The Moon, Love Between Fairy and Devil, and Love Game in Eastern Fantasy… But I can't help but like it more than all of those.
It's absolutely worth overlooking the flaws so you can enjoy an indulgent passionate romance drama!
