Entitled Rich Heir has to be saved by others

Entitled rich heir refuses to learn anything his father and elders tell him to. He thinks he's smart but has to be saved by his servants and random people all the time. Other characters wait around to help him. New characters are introduced to help him while he slowly tries to learn things he should have learned growing up. Random people walk in, help him then are gone.

Zhang Rou Yun's acting is good, but everyone else it's hard to tell because it was written to be all about Xu Feng Nian so no one else gets to shine. The other characters seem interesting but you never get to know them because the writers only care about XFN. The Plot is XFN-centric, everything is about him.

The production, locations, costumes, and set design are quality, the VFX and camera work are decent, and the fight scenes are good but short.

I liked the dynamics with his family. The father-son relationship is offbeat, each of his sister-brother relationships is nuanced, and the brother-brother relationship is endearing.

I feel bad for the FL, Jiang Ni. I feel worse for the actress, Teresa Li. She is given so little to do that it can not be considered a "lead" role.

Ultimately this was not terrible but not great. Everything is handed to the ML. And he never fails because he always gets saved by others so there are no stakes. Save your time and just wait for Joy of Life 2.
