Actually SO Good

Honestly, this drama was actually SO good. I really, really liked it. I went into it expecting to enjoy it, but I ended up getting attached to so many of the characters and genuinely had a great time watching it.

Most of the characters were amazing, and I really liked the acting from the cast too. There were so many characters that I ended up liking that it's honestly hard to pick just a few favorites.

I especially really like Hou Minghao and Ai Mi. I enjoyed watching them a lot, although I'll be honest—their age difference was pretty noticeable to me, and romantically, I didn't feel a huge amount of chemistry between them. But putting the romance aside, I really liked their individual characters and their overall dynamic.

And Hou Minghao's action scenes??? WOWWW. He absolutely killed those scenes. Whenever the action started, I was immediately hooked. His screen presence during the fight scenes was seriously so good.

I also really liked Li Mao's character. His character development was one of the things I enjoyed the most. Watching him change and grow throughout the story made me appreciate his character so much more.

Honestly, I have so many characters I like from this drama. That's probably one of the biggest reasons I enjoyed it so much—the cast of characters made the whole story more entertaining, and I found myself getting attached to them as the drama went on.

Also, the OSTs??? SO GOOD OMGGG. Every time one of the songs came on, I was just enjoying the whole atmosphere even more. The music really suited the drama and made some scenes hit even better.
And honestly, I wanted more episodes. I was having such a good time that I wasn't really ready for it to end. I would've happily watched a few more episodes, but it's fine. I'm still really happy with what we got.

Overall, I really, really enjoyed this drama. The acting was good, the characters were memorable, the story kept me entertained, and the action was seriously impressive. I obviously had my preferences when it came to certain relationships, but that didn't stop me from enjoying the drama as a whole.

I'd definitely recommend giving it a try. Go into it without overthinking it and explore the characters yourself, because there are genuinely so many good ones to discover.
