Great Chemistry and Beautiful Visuals
This show is perfect for you if you want a more mature vibe from a romance couple where the female lead doesn't act like a baby all the time or have a baby voice.
I enjoyed the pacing of this story and the romance. I like how its not to quick and how we could see Mo Xiu Yao gradually warm up to her rather than just randomly have him flip and start loving her.
I also love how the story unravels from an unreliable perspective and how it gives hints as to how unreliable she is. We basically get to see the story unfold as shes discovering new things about herself which is quite fun and adds a mysterious vibe to the show.
One thing I think this show does well is the cinematography. The shots of the backgrounds and buildings are so pretty. The colouring is very nice and I LOVE how we can actually see the actors skin textures. I'm glad they opted out of filtering the actors and actresses heavily however their makeup is still typically very white. It's also very nice that they're allowing the actors to use their own voices because I feel like Cheng Lei rarely does in his projects and this just shows how much his voice can bring to his characters.
Both actors are well casted because they both have a face that looks suspicious in my eyes. They both look like they're hiding something when their face is neutral which is perfect for this show as it leaves a bit of mystery and suspicion for me. I also think they visually complement each other well as they both have this mature vibe to them.
