Good light watch
This drama was a good light watch that remained consistent throughout the show that made me watch the next episode to the next episode and the next...... I actually watched from beginning to end without skipping and doing fast forwards. I liked that it's only 26 episodes long too.
The love story of Tang Tianyuan and Tan Lingyin had a very subtle development, starting from a supposed pretend relationship into becoming a real one naturally and they just became confident that they were already a couple. Yes, petty jealousies are there but in a healthy way and does not drag on unnecessarily.
I liked the character of Tianyuan, she was confident and smart. It's good that the writers did not make this character to be those typical naive and supposedly innocent that becomes really annoying that is mostly seen in historical dramas. Zhang Ruo Nan played the character just right, not too over top in comedy and can act when the scene calls for being serious.
Thank goodness, we did not get the typical mean main lead from Tianyuan's character. He was funny through facial expressions that came with his lines. Zhang Hao Wei also played this character well.
The two other actors that caught my attention were:
Chake Lau who played Zhu Da Cong. I thought he was going be the arrogant, rich spoiled brat who wanted to marry the female lead. Well, yes, he was and he did. But I actually liked his character. He was very sincere and truly loved Tan Lingyin. I was cheering for him in parts of the show but of course it was never going to be. He was great in transitioning from being a dork to being serious and being a dork while actually being serious. I look forward to watching more dramas from him.
Ma Wen Yuan who played Zheng Zao Feng I found to be a good actor too. I thought he was just going to be goofy but when the scene called for being emotional he delivered.
There was only one unlikeable character in the whole drama - I guess there's gotta be one. Good thing she does not get too much screen time but when she does grrrr she is super annoying. Oh well.....
All in all, good drama to watch, cute romantic moments and no angst - that was what I was after.
