A series that might surprise

I started this series a little skeptical, both because of Solar becoming a child and because I didn't like Perth and Santa in the last series. However, as I began, I realized that this series was more than just a comedy; it wanted to reflect on many issues, some of them heavy. Solar's personality shift makes us reflect on how trauma can affect people, and characters like Kay instead make us think about other problems that may seem silly but aren't. Perth and Santa are incredible in this series. I love how Santa is acting so well as a child; every single detail, how he moves, how he picks up objects, is exceptional in every way. Perth is the same; in this series he seems more adult and mature, yet fragile when Solar becomes Sun. Sammy is perfect in this role. Everything is well thought out and it shows, from the props to the locations, the excellent direction, and the colors too.
I really like how they are treating the trauma and they are not sexualizing Sun (my initial fear) in fact, this series is treating this trauma with a delicacy and sweetness that I find incredible
For me, it's the series of the year.

Captivating Drama

I started watching this drama because I was bored and decided to watch Ep 1 but it pulled me to watch complete all released episodes.
I really loved episodes in Lin An - They looked like the sweet of beginnings - with the simple life and people of the village although there was some mean people there,
My problems start when the royal court had a bigger space in the drama, because it was very complicated with complicated characters than any historical drama I watched, espcially what happened 17 years ago it's very complicated and I couldn't understand anything, when there was new things in this to say, I beacame more lost.
also the characters I can't understand what evil things that everyone did and what the people think of them in the end (espcially Prime Minister and that old cunning man from Li family).
Also I couldn't understand what ML did, when he cut the ear of the royal servant and the massacre that they talked about it in the beginning of the drama.
I think that ZLH was different in this drama (It's the first drama I watched for him), I tried watching first ep of Story of Kunning Palace before, but I felt him a hateful person there.
The ending was really beautiful, but I wanted to see a scene for Qi Shu with Gongsun Yin in the ending.
For the plot I can't say anything, when I start watching a drama I throw logic things and leave the wind make me go as it like, and don't think of events that occur, just enjoy.
I think that I lost some political events because I watched the drama without focusing carefully.
The Rewatch Value is 1.0 because I never rewatch a drama, only if I missed the drama and characters hardly I can watch some scenes or episodes again.

After dismissing what I said while watching and only enjoyed this drama, It is one of my favorite historical Cdramas for this year.

Beautiful and warm

LIKE

It's the first episode and I already cry till death heart-breaking scene

When the cat has a name - lol

When a phrase was quoted from Go Ahead.. even sing the theme song..

The real culprit who spread Ah Yuan's diarrhea - hilarious

Slow and calm with natural positive vibes

Omg the whole village how these people spread rumours like nobody’s business lol

When Ah Yao confessed to Hong Dou as a farewell sigh..

Nan Nan’s parents aged overnight cries

Zhi Yuan’s lame jokes

If you want to leave, leave happily. Do not leave when hungry, unhappy

If you have thousands you want ten thousands. If you become Emperor you want to be Immortal

First generations are hardworking farmers but poor. Second generations continue to work hard but have to leave families behind. Third generations trying to change the world so everyone could be together and prosper.

One generation unable to control two generations problems let things be and flow naturally

DISLIKE

All good

MUSIC - personal fav

去有风的地方 Qu You Feng De Di Fang - 郁可唯 Yu Ke Wei
摇篮谣 Yao Lan Yao - 斯斯与帆 Si Si Yu Fan
A Beautiful Smile - 金玟岐 Jin Wen Qi

Acting of all actress and actors are amazing but drama's story line is predictable

I decided to watch this drama because of all the hyped I saw on social media like X and Instagram. After watching it, I found it quite funny, similar to other time travel dramas. What sets it apart, though, is the female lead's stunning visuals she is truly captivating. The male lead’s acting is also equally impressive.

While the plot is somewhat predictable given the time travel trope, the standout for me is definitely the acting. From the silly and comedic moments to the serious and heartbreaking scenes, every actor in this drama delivered a fantastic performance.

Interestingly, the drama didn't need heavy promotion because it was already popular as a donghua and a short drama. Both Wang Churan and Cheng Lei have received high praise from donghua fans for their portrayals. It’s a solid watch for anyone who appreciates great acting and beautiful cinematography.

this show will make you cry big time, but it’s all worth it!

i love the acting, and how real everything feels while you watch it. i love the main leads relationship especially, and the way that they have both healed each other and been the sun to the others moon while the female lead doesn’t know is so beautiful. thsi is a show i fear i will never get bored of, and so far i haven’t watched a single boring episode! the second and third lead couple are also adorable: i especially love the relationship between the youngest sister and her boyfriend! hes such a green flag, and shes even greener! overall, this drama has its own way of making you cry, laugh, smile, and cringe all in one, and that’s something that i love to see in a kdrama!

Hidden Gem Drama, that make you want to rewatch this

This drama is like a hidden gem. In the early episodes, you might feel a bit confusedlike, 'Wait, what is this?'
because the female lead has lost her memory and is acting purely on the belief that she’s a devoted wife. Even though she’s unsure, Liu Miantang’s sincerity in being a good wife is so touching; that’s where I started to really sympathize with her. The male lead’s silly antics and his growing care for her also add a beautiful touch to the story.

It’s not too heavy, making it perfect for romance lovers who want something light. Liu Miantang’s resilience and independence are the main attractions here. Even after her memory returns, she stands firm in her beliefs, which is amazing she’s truly an independent woman. Since the drama is very female-centric, the male lead’s role felt just right.

The scene that touched me the most was when Zhang Wanyi wrote the divorce papers it actually broke my heart! His wife was so sincere, yet he divorced her without a clear or logical explanation. And when Liu Miantang said, "You are my husband; if you die in battle, I will bring your body back no matter how far I have to go" I felt so much pain for her because her husband wasn't considering her feelings at all.

I’ve already rewatched this three times. It’s definitely the kind of drama I’ll keep coming back to whenever I’m bored.

Atleast better than 1st season

This season was actually better than the first season as it did not ragebaited me that much as the first.
Here Uehera has a bit of character development and finally values Nao now, but Nao character is really of no confidence actually which is kinda irritating and also the clumsiness of her and some mindless things she does is kinda cringe.
in this drama as they are having more wider world now meeting new people, they both were insecure about each other... THE COMMUNICATION WAS SOO OFF AND IT LED TO MANY MISUNDERSTANDING,which were soo unecessary, and actually Nao was totally soo better with natsume, I really loved that character and he totally deserved to be with Nao, but no nao always saw Uehera only even though how shitty he treated her was a bit of much to me, so overall it's a drama which might just boil your blood.

This drama was a total ragebait to me

This drama was actually a total ragebait to me, like Okay the storyline is cute living together stuff and falling in love is so butterfly giving BUT i totally did not like how Uhera treated her and his cold behaviour, and Nao felt like a total dumbhead sometimes, ofcourse she was in love but see the red flags atleast, Diachi who is a total green flag and definitely would treat her right got rejected, I mean he was a side character so okay but Atleast the main character should have turned soft towards her, till the end she was just going on with the toxic relationship,still he showed just minute of interest and it was clearly shown who loved whom more! which is totally wrong for a relationship, He should have value her more!!

A drama about humanity, reality, and love

Honest Review
I watch this after what How dare you because of wang churan
I was honestly shocked to known about the gossips that surrounded this drama when it aired in China. I’m not even a fan of the lead actors, Yang Yang and Wang Churan, but finishing this drama completely exceeded my expectations. It was incredibly good.

I personally don’t like dramas that focus too much on romance, and I love how this one didn’t let the romance overshadow the main storyline about firefighters. Some scenes were so touching that they actually made me tear up. I feel like many people misunderstood Xu Qin’s character. The actress did an amazing job portraying someone who is fearful, slightly antisocial, and traumatized by the loss of her parents. She was manipulated by her adoptive family especially her mother and even her brother, Meng Chan, who deceived and took advantage of her innocence.

As for Song Yan, his character is almost too perfect loyal and resilient. Both of them were victims of the people around them. I truly understood their love story because it felt so relatable to my own life. That’s why the negative reviews and issues in China confused me. If people are criticizing the scene with the fire extinguisher or the running tap water during the kiss scenes, it feels like forced hatred. Other dramas have done much worse. I’ve read that the low Douban ratings were influenced by issues outside of the script or the acting.

Both Wang Churan and Yang Yang clearly worked very hard. For me, Episode 10 was the most memorable; when Xu Qin finally spoke her heart to Song Yan, and when Xu Qin tried to save SONG YAN and said "HE IS MY LIFE" I almost cried. Her feelings were so valid. Another favorite was when Song Yan waited to meet her parents; it showed his sincerity and loyalty despite how much her family had hurt him.

The scenes involving fires, earthquakes, and floods were extraordinary and felt very realistic. It’s a shame this isn't more appreciated, especially knowing how hard the crew worked and that people were injured during filming. I wish there weren't so many haters. This has officially become one of my top 3 Chinese dramas.

Better than Season 1 for me, but still not great

Things I adored

1 The panel once again was hilarious. I think this is the best panel from all I've seen, and each one has it's own sense of humor, whilst they seem to get along fine and that makes it even more enjoyable.

Things I liked

1 Some contestants were adorable and I loved them. I was ruling for some of the couple, although I know they will never last and I'm always right. It's clear that these aren't couples made in future, but it's still nice to see them pretend they found their soulmate.

Things I disliked

1 Of course some contestants and their stupid attitude. Sometimes I wonder if they are stupid or just pretend for the camera. They choose a person and never change like it's something written in stone. It's a fricking dating show and honestly you know that you will last probably two hours after the show is wrapped up, so at least have fun.

Things I hated

1 The 3 guys one woman again. What's wrong with the production? If the show isn't that scripted, because there is some part that is, no doubt, you can't make me believe that this woman had three men and the most handsome fighting over her. Please be real. No suspense with this focus on one woman and I hate that. I may not having hated Seul Ki as much as Jia from the first season but she still was so annoying and not believable at all that with so many other beautiful women out there everyone would hover over her. Stupid and the 6.5 is for the panel and some other contestants like Min Soo and Jo Yoong Jae, even though I'm sure none of the couples lasted. So another failure but not as big as the 1st Season. Netflix at its worst.

the cinematography of this drama was soo good, perfect mix of soft and calm theme.
If you want a drama to slow down your life for a moment and experience cute love,this drama suits
