Chu Wanning please come home, I am running out of shows to watch...

Watch this show to see Luo Yunxi in a suit... he looks so so very good and I would watch it just to see him looking that nice...

No but honestly...
I didn’t know I would like this show as much as I do. I watched it for Luo Yunxi and now I’m staying for it all. I’m very surprised by this show. It is so much better than your normal romance. Probably because it doesn’t solely focus on romance and focuses more on the characters and their motives
This show is very captivating and I never got bored. Every episode was interesting and I paid attention for every episode. The story flows very nicely and the drama is well-based.

Story: The story is simple. It is about the Light Chaser rescue team. All of the characters you see end up being related to the team somehow.

Characters:
- Luo Yunxi plays Luo Ben, a seemingly very cold, selfish and stern lawyer. You see character development as the story progresses and you get to see that he is actually a very compassionate and driven individual who puts others first in every situation.
- Janice Wu plays Zhan Yan, a very professional doctor who is also very cold. As the show progresses Zhan Yan starts smiling a whole lot more and you see that there is more to her than just her role as a doctor.
- All characters have motives for being there and wanting to be a part of the rescue team. The stunts are also very well done.
Ooh and there is actual character development in this show! Luo Yunxi's character learns and gets better! He isn’t one-dimensional! He becomes more caring instead of stone-cold. Zhan Yan learns to accept and grow from her past and opens up more. All of the characters become stronger in their own way

Romance is not the main focus, more character focused I would say. However, the romance that is in it feel very natural and is very heartwarming and realistic. You root for the characters to get together.
Chemistry:
- The side couple with Luo Ben's sister and Xiong Fei is really good too. They are cute and sweet and it is touching to see their relationship grow. Their relationship may be better than the main at parts. It is very touching and heartwarming.
- I will not talk about the third couple cuz IDK what is going on there. I don’t like them. I skipped every scene with just DingDingDing in it halfway through. Her character is very insufferable and annoying. She is childish and needs to not talk as much as she does. It is a wonder why MingMing likes her.

It is refreshing to see a couple like Luo Ben and Zhan Yan. Neither is overly obnoxious about their love for the other. Their romance is not in your face. It has been a long time since I have seen a drama where the FL is not annoying at first.
This is no comedy. It is the most realistic C-drama I have seen to date. This drama really shows that when you give Luo Yunxi when you give him a good costar, someone who can actually act you get something really nice, and enjoyable. In turn their relationship actually seems very real and not fake; the chemistry becomes better.

Acting: Luo Yunxi's acting abilities are actually utilized in this show; unlike some of the romcoms he’s in where every other actor besides him falls flat. Janice can keep up with Luo Yunxi's acting. They both are equally so good and play off of each other really well. Janice is really good. Their pairing makes sense, they look good together.

Editing/Music: The editing of the show is good; it flows well. The music is really good, especially the ending ost. The music is not obnoxious and is played at the right times.

Setting/Effects: The world-building for this show is very good. You see scenes in the city, the outdoors, the mountains, an apartment, a training camp, etc. The effects they use for the disasters are pretty good. Nothing looks overly fake here.

Additional Thoughts:
- Luo Yunxi is not a gigachad here compared to other shows like Love is Sweet and Lie to Love. His character is not bad and not insufferable. Glimpses of Chu Wanning kind of reign through and I really enjoy that.
- However, this is no hyx. Nothing will top hyx. Can’t wait to see the day when everyone’s efforts are shown. The pairing in hyx is perfect, the casting, the costumes, osts, setting, and chemistry. Nothing can top it. Luo Yunxi was born to play Chu Wanning and Chen Feiyu was born to play Mo Ran. Seeing them together in a show will be beautiful and innovative. Truly awe-inspiring.

(Last epsiode showcases Wanning… just watch, it is very good)
(If you are confused with any of what I am saying about hyx, chu winning etc. check out this link https://mydramalist.com/54501-hao-yi-xing
or check out my profile.. that should explain everything)

I am running out of lyx and cfy shows to watch that are actually good. Now that I am done with this show hyx better air real soon.
