When the supporting characters make you want to avoid this drama
I watched this because of Wang Churan and to be honest there is no romance chemistry between her and Tan Jianci but i quite enjoy their banter even they dragged their story for too long and decided to give the screentime to unnecessary characters especially Jung Cheng mother. The main couple should have more screentime since their story was quite left hanged due the unimportant characters. The plot has no innovative since it's from rom-con and i don't really care about bad AI editing for beginning of the drama. I quite enjoy the episode 1-12 but the dragged and unnecessary characters really kill my mood for watching this. They make Qian Fei character seems illogical person while he was told by premises as smart analyst (he was smart but the writing of scriptwriter was quite mess). Liu Yifei was quite okay but not memorable for Wang Churan character that i watch, she was in between bad character and good character. It was quite bitter for me since i quite enjoy Wang Churan drama but the supporting casts story was really letdown for this drama.Wont recommend and rewatch this except the main lead parts.

Want to like this but i end up torturing my self.
I personally like Song Wei Long and Ju Jingyi as individual but this drama are not for it. I know this drama was on dungeon for three years, i waited for it since i love Xianxia, and i can tolerate bad visual, CGI, or anything but the sole problem are pace of plot since it was disjointed and the inconsistencies of main character especially Li Fei. I quite like the dynamic of Li Fei and Xi Yuan on episode 1-8 but the disaster starts of episode 9 but i was quite optimistic about this drama (yeah it was trap but sometimes i like to torture my self until ep 21). Li Fei characterization are too shallow and stupid, trust everything but Xi Yuan. Xi Yuan is really useless despite his brain and power which make me frustrated. For decreasing my anger issue with this drama, i dropped this.Was this review helpful to you?
Director and production team needs to retake class again
I watched this since i am quite republican enjoyer and even some of low-budget duanju republican production are quite better than whatever this director created. His editing style was quite messy and the effect were mismatched. The Music Background choice were questionable for republican drama. The sloppy AI on the opening is not helping at all and glad the production team listened to complain. The production left people who anticipated it was disappointed (including me) since they got visual actor and actress. The styling and make up are quite good.The plot was quite short-drama code with melodrama makjang and fast-paced which i preferred for republican drama. I quite how fast pace this drama and not confusing viewer with many elements. The story flows smoothly, without any disjointed or fragmented feel which is rare gem foo Republican drama. Therefore, it's a show suitable for watching for plot but not for promotion. Supporting casts are quite decent and found the Brother and SFL story was quite tragic. ML biological mom was shit and even ML older brother was quite hypocritical despite ML stills cherish him. Both of main character were quite morally gray especially the Female Lead who focusing on revenge while Male Lead is quite tragic like Little Match Girl who begged for FL love. For Zhang Linghe case, i found his acting was tremendously grow since i found his earlier dramas are quite not my cup of tea and yeah he needs to let out the expression but his acting style tends to use eyes expression to minimize the mimic on his face. His eye acting was slightly better on portraying sadness and he slowly got away from dead-fish-eye acting which is surprising me as non-fans.
For Wang Churan, i need to make confession she never got romantic chemistry with her male leads but she got some dynamic aside of romance feeling which is rare because i still forgive for everyone who never had romance sparks with her other leads. She may not best actress for the expression same as Zhang Linghe case but her acting was not cringe and i enjoy her mannerism as Ren Susu.
I still got this drama chance because i quite enjoy republican drama even with sad ending.

Need this kind of Female Empowerment Drama
Okay i have guilty pleasure about liking Aviation drama and Female lead as pilot are quite uncommon for me since most of aviation drama always making Female lead on aviation drama works as flight attendant. And the drama are journey for FL from Flight Attendant to Pilot are quite new for me. I enjoy Liu Xuening main lead acting debut, even she has many point to improve but she taking this role seriously and it was relaxing to see her as Si Xian. Hope she got more prominent main role.I don't have any complaint about FL characteristic since her emotion comes from her family problems and scriptwriter did a good job for making foundation from FL problem. People complaining about her way of respond to ML but i find Si Xian is quite realistic.
For Male Lead, Wei Zheming nailed on his CEO role (again) but he is not really scumbag. I think the chemistry between the main lead are not showing since FL repulsive and career-driven. I feel this drama could be Slice of life or Self-Journey instead of romance.
The supporting casts are not NPC and since i used to work on aviation i can relate for FL's friends.
As far, i prefer this kind of show. Relaxing to watch.

Wasted of stellar casts
I watched this drama because of Chen Duling, Ju Jingyi and Zeng Shunxi. Actually the CGI was good but i always have one common problem when it comes Guo Jing Ming drama: no plot substance in this drama. I feel they are too focused on second couple without giving strong background (i know second ML was a wooden doll) while the first couple are actually have good back story but they choose to minimize it. This is when you got 4 stellar casts but you always make imbalance plot about them. It make me realized i can't watch GJM drama even there is my favourite cast on it. Dropped.Was this review helpful to you?
