Honestly, I thought it was more of the same. And nothing really grabbed my attention, you know?
I wish Ma Shi Yao was offered to be part of good quality production like The Newlywed series (my favourite is Wang Chen Peng x Lin Zi Xuan or He has seven parts of his domain (3 versions at the moment: MLs are Zhang Bei Xi, Cao Tian Kai, Charon). MSY's talent wasted in dramas with not-good-actresses.

Alternative platform similar to reelxia? No, I don't know any. I usually find links on MDL or by pasting Chinese title in Google / Youtube / Dailymotion.
Hhhhmmm I might be wrong because I watched this drama like 500 vertical dramas ago (I watched 600+ just last year alone). Wang Yi Ran did get a nice arc and for me, his ML has the best romantic moments with FL
Just a follow up comment:Love your detailed reviews, Ember<3Keep going ππ«Άπ»
aaawww thank you. I'm preparing a post for my column on reddit & Discord. Trying to squeeze in some drama watching and reviewing before work gets too hectic.

The Newlywed has Wang Hao Zhen version but I haven't watched his.
This is another good series
