Interesting Story With Great Acting

This review is for seasons 1 and 2 since both iterations together make up one tale. The acting here is excellent and I liked the plot - the idea of a girl exchanging bodies with another woman who just happens to be in a position to get even with the first girl's killer was riveting. The relationship development between hero He Lian Xuan and our heroine Li/Qi is terrific - we see her become his fierce protector and as a result, he comes out of the shadows to be the best version of himself. I loved the chemistry between the actors and thought they did a great job playing their roles. The storyline was a bit choppy at times, probably due to its brevity but that mostly worked. There is a scene that is extremely poorly explained, however - the revenge against Yun Ji is written off as being a "stay away from my man or else" scenario when in fact we know from the start Yun Ji is a spy sent to hurt them by Concubine Liu. The story also doesn't examine that Yun Ji is one of the people who used to bully Qi and the two are actually half-sisters from my understanding. Those factors - along with the honey trap aspect used in the original written form - would have made this scene more palatable if explained. Also, the FL runs away at two different points, a behavior that is completely out of character with her confrontational approach to life during the rest of the show. I overall enjoyed it though and would recommend it.
