well, that was a surprise!

I've never written a review before so you know there has got to be a reason. why then? because this is actually good. really good. and as someone who doesn't watch minidramas, this is big praise.

the story is obviously fast-paced but still manages to introduce a large number of characters in a believable manner and in a way that you actually care about them.

the two main leads were solid in their acting, I wasn't sold on yifu and a couple of minor actors but overall it surpassed my expectations many times over.

the costumes were good and sometimes spectacular, again a massive and delightful surprise given the budget of this type of drama. special call out to Shenzhi's gothic style outfit with the train, the man is a certified drama queen.

the only things that I found distracting were the really heavy filter (negative) and Shenzhi's eyebrows (positive).

overall, the director, writer, cast and crew deserve a full-length drama next time. I'd totally watch that.
