Quite good at first half but the ending didn't resolve the problem

I watched this version first and the plot is more complete and detailed. FL's inner thoughts are portrayed delicately, and her interactions with ML are frequent and effective. The visual quality is good, and the opening shots of FL's background are well-done. The characters' behavior is logically consistent with the established plot. I quite like Li Shengxuan madness acting.

When the FL had relapse moment, I could feel her second personality emerge even through the screen; it felt very realistic. Li Shengxuan's facial expressions during the episode were also excellent, without any exaggerated facial movements.

The weakness in this drama; the chemistry between the Wu Zhuxi and Li Shengxuan dont really strong as other version. The ending is poorly handled-it didn't completely resolve the time loop and reincarnation issue.

The premises is common but needs to skill to make it engaging

I actually watch Jinze and Zhang Chuxuan second drama first and it was decent watch and know this is their first drama i decided to watch this.

The premise of this drama might be similar to typical regret-filled stories: FL deeply loves the SML, who is unaware of his own love for her but prefers the SFL; FL leaves, ML gets lucky, SML discovers his true love, regrets missing out on the FL, and then begins to punish the scumbags. Typically, the SML is a jerk, and the SFL is a scheming woman. What makes this drama special is its character development

For example, SML isn't a jerk. Initially, he rejects FL decisively, and I even thought FL was asking for trouble in the first half. But after watching the whole series, I felt he was a flesh-and-blood character, and all his actions were consistent with his character. Similarly, the SFL's scheming nature has a reason, unlike some short dramas where scheming is just for the sake of scheming, blaming the FL for every mistake.

ML falls in love with FL at first sight, helps her protect her mother's belongings, rescues her when she's kidnapped, and protects her in every way after marriage. He's also jealous and competitive.

Pacing is tight and smooth without dragging, there's no unnecessary dialogue, and the ending is even more uplifting. Everyone has their own happiness, there's no need to force it, love yourself before loving others.

Recommended to watch.

Plot was bad but the making out was great

I watched this just forsake of Zhang Shan and Wang Xuan. Both are great kisser and the plot was bad.

FL has always suffered bullying from her family of origin, being switched at birth by her biological parents. She's quite pathetic after returning home, but thankfully the ML gives her fairness and favoritism. The kiss between these two was so passionate and intense, their eyes were practically glued to each other, making the viewer feel we should not interrupt their making out scene. The Green Tea Sister aka SFL was so annoying.

The cons is FL's parents and brother didn't receive any punishment in this drama. Also, SFL committed suicide, and the way her parents were grieving at her suicide scene clearly showed that SFL was more important to them than FL It's very likely that the parents would blame the FL for the SFL, so I think this aspect was handled very poorly.

Only for hardcore fans of the actors.

Wang Haozhen looks to tired in this drama

I watched it for Wang Haozhen but he is obviously look tired in this drama. But after fast-forwarding through it all, I was utterly blown away by the plot. This script really feels like it was created by deadliner – where's the logic?

FL approached the ML to raise money for her sister's surgery, and the difference in their social status and impure motives created a lot of conflict. But who would have thought they'd fall in love so inexplicably, only to break up and get back together again due to some nonsensical misunderstandings? Fast forward to 3 years later, ML's family is in troubles, his career slump, and FL's hardships are all glossed over, leaving the characters hollow and their motivations incomprehensible.

Actually Wang Haozhen and Guan Xin chemistry are still pass to watch but the plot is not for it.

Only for hardcore fans.

It gives me asadora type of drama.

I watched this drama on December 2025 since i want to see some Family drama and it reminds me of Asadora since they showed Sichuan and Chongqing dialect in this drama.

Wang Daotie's acting is truly solid, and in this drama, his performance is explosive, perfectly embodying the devastation of a middle-aged person losing a loved one. Sun Yiran's acting in the second season is a step up from the first, with more layers in her performance; sometimes, you can feel the emotions she wants to convey just by looking at her eyes. The child actors' acting is also quite good espeicially the Eldest sister, showing great promise for the future. The only exception is the actor who played Zhou Dawei as a child, who was slightly lacking.

Personally i don't really invested on adult version of the children story but Wang Peiyan is gave me a surprise. Duan Meiyang had limited screentime but his acting was so memorable. Deng Ling Shu acting was decent. Zhao Tingyi speech reminds me of My late neighbour.

The cons is the duration is too long but still Worth to rewatching.

New plot and decent acting.

I watched this because Yi Hang and the plot was quite new the reborn ML x transmigrated FL. Guo Xin Yu is perfect for this role, working class FL who trapped in ancient time. The costumes, makeup, and props are excellent. Even the supporting casts doing great job too.

It's a sweet and angsty story with a happy ending. In her past life, the original FL conspired with the ML's mother, the Empress Dowager, and his younger brother, the Regent, to poison him, helping the Regent seize the throne. ML vowed never to be so compassionate again and was reborn.

New FL is a medical master's student, transmigrates into the novel, wanting to protect the kind-hearted ML. However, she encounters the newly reborn ML at the beginning, and her beloved becomes a tyrant, starting a hellish survival mode. FL has to juggle both the ML and the Empress Dowager, barely surviving. Fortunately, FL is smart, quickly deducing that the ML is a reincarnated person. The process ML gradually falling in love with the FL doesn't feel abrupt. The moment i like from this drama is about FL and her father, Prime Minister was really touching,

However, the later parts are a bit forced to add the duration and the kissing scenes are below average and the chemistry between the main leads are barely minimum.

Still decent watch.

I disliked the ML character

OK I was saving this drama in my shelf since i didn't have mood to watch Miqi at that time and I watched this last week.

The actual drama was below average to my liking and yeah the voice was being dubbed has not making this drama better. Wang Haozhen still delivers his acting but Miqi is quite weak on terms of acting too bad i quite like her looks. Considering Miqi she never do real kiss (there is only one but yeah she always do tricks on kissing scene).

The blood-drawing trope is so uncool! Treating it as a way to repay a debt of gratitude is even more uncool. I forced myself since i am quite lenient person. Fortunately FL was smart by using pig blood. ML was quite bad person and didn't deserve FL at all.

Only recommended to hardcore fans.

They should connect this season with season 2 instead

The overall quality is still above average, although it didn't surprise me, it's still okay.

It would be even better if this season were combined with the second season. Only the dramatic conflict at the end of the second season would be retained, with the third season featuring sweet interactions and a resolution, plus a bit more of the older brother + sweet girl storyline, and the decent guy + firecracker sister storyline.

SFL finally gets divorced this season, but given her personality, she probably won't even realize what she did wrong in the end.

I feel like this season is probably the real last one. The ending includes the ML's confession and love letter, and their wedding—a happy ending!

It was nice trilogy despite the flaws. Recommended to watch.

Broken soul entangled to each other

I was quite skeptical with Li Ruoqi drama since two of her drama with Zhang Beixi and Charon make me dissatisfied and tried this as last resort. And it was far better than two dramas that i mentioned even it was not her best drama.

Both the ML and FL are the second children who never been favored in their original families. One is after power, and the other is after love, so they hit it off and start a sweet new life after marriage. I like FL and ML buddies they are supportive circle for the leads.

FL's character is very clear-headed. Her transition from having ulterior motives to genuinely caring for the ML is very natural and not awkward at all. Li Ruoqi should take role that show vulnerable side of FL instead since it was her forte instead getting righteous FL.

Li Shengjie is good at playing good nature ML and his smiling was a healing for FL. I like his chemistry with Li Ruoqi feel so natural and sweet.

The FL sister part was not that good i was fast forwarding when she appeared.

Recommended to watch.

Another tortuous drama to FL

I watched this when i was on Huang Yunyun marathon drama last year and i don't recommend this despite FL and Child actor great acting in here. Jin Jiayu acts naturally as scumbag.

This plot is generic is about FL who wants save the seriously injured ML, was forced to leave and raise their child alone. Seven years later, their child has leukemia and needs a bone marrow transplant. FL seeks out ML, wanting to have a second child to save the child, but the ML harbors resentment because he mistakenly believes FL abandoned him seven years ago.

There is not good thing and character development on ML and the plot hole he supposed to be disabled but somehow he can walk freely and suddenly he is on his wheelchair again. FL was too weak and she falls into damsel in distress again.

Avoid this.

It was OK

I quite like Wang Haozhen and Lu Lulu version so i will give myself trying this drama (this was first version and people in Xiaohongshu always said it was better than Wang Haozhen) but maybe i was slightly subjective but Wang Haozhen and Lu Lulu version was better than this since it looks age appropriate adult romance. Liu Shanglin and Wu Jialu didn't look like convince enough to being doctor and nurse. I feel they are just intern in this drama.

Plot is around 80% same with Wang Haozhen-Lu Lulu version, but the great things in this version the plot is not being dragged in the middle which i understand why people liked this version. The obvious wig on Liu Shanglin head was too ugly and distracting and his acting still subpar compared to Wu Jialu. The chemistry between the lead was not well shown in here. For the chemistry i think this version is still sufficient to watch.

FL was definitely more heartbroken and devastated, but I really preferred the less hysterical handling of the breakup in Lu Lulu version because it feels more mature considering her age character was not young adult nor teenager.

Still watchable though.

Perfect Suspense drama for Duanju

I watched this two years ago and always rewatching and still amazed as first time watch. This drama giving Thai Movie somehow.

This is Jiang Shiqi first non-commercial drama and she is not into usual lovestruck FL instead she perfectly nailed as blind girl who get her sight again. Guo Ting Ting is incredible in this drama i almost not recognizing her looks.

Wang Daotie is perfect antagonist role in this drama. Not forgetting the child actor especially FL son who nailed the traumatized child. The Suspense feeling was perfect especially in the middle part until the end of drama.

The Ending was satisfying for me. Even Until now, I still rewatching this drama.

The Great Grandma reference is letdown for me.

I already watched Yunmiao 5 and want to make review about this drama.

My biggest pet peeve this drama its similarly same to Tainai at the first and it feels lack of originality previous Yunmiao series.

Xue Binhong's fake eunuch setting and appearance add some comedic style to the drama, the plot is smooth, the pace is a bit slow at the beginning, but the pace is good after the obsession appears.

There's still a lot of verbal sparring, and the pacing hasn't improved significantly. The first story was decent, with some unexpected twists. The plot is driven purely by dialogue, making it difficult for the audience to connect with the story.

It really lacks the mysterious surprise of the first time. After the Empress's death and the appearance of the fourth princess's obsession, it enters the familiar rhythm of solving cases and helping to resolve obsessions. The character design and plot of the little girl Yun Xi acting are outstanding.

This is how i see the best Yunmiao series 1>4>3>2>5

Too many verbal-sparring

I tried to watch Li Jingye drama since she was familiar to me but i didn't know her name and it was first time to see Chai Haochen drama. Both of leads acting are decent especially Li Jingye. Chai Haochen still need to learn to make expression in his face his face was too poker face for entire time or maybe it just his concept so i don't know.

Plot is about Father favors the younger daughter aka SFL to excess, making her a spoiled brat princess; marry nouveau riche ML aka SML, while the elder daughter aka FL marries to the rural farmer aka ML.

Beside long-term verbal sparring from SFL and SML, i was annoyed with kissing scene using camera tricks making romantic scene experience being decreased.

Still recommended to watch if you just want to kill a time.
