I may be in the minority but having Ruyi is the much improved version of LOYX.
The plot is faster, funnier and the last stretch is less crazy convoluted.
The characters developments is clearer and more refined.
The cinematography and music is very pretty

This is a fluffy cotton candy filled with many laughter and sweetness that is enjoyable from start to finish.
The ML FL chemistry is crazy good, the politics/evil guys length & level of annoying in each eps is just right to built tension and not be draggy.

I saw many many many many complaints about lack of passionate kiss between the leads, but maybe we are just accustomed to western style kissing(?) such that we have forgotten that asians are much more restrained in showing their affection/passion.
With this pairing of FL/ML, they dont even have to kiss to generate butterflies - sometimes less is more you know.
for me, its not the passionate kissing that matters though, its the sticking through all the ups/down/crazy winding journey that is the gist of this story.
In their own ways, the FL/ML fight for their own beliefs, which is important, staying true for yourself first and foremost before becoming a good partner in your relationship.

Dont use your brain too much when digesting the plot (esp when it comes to the lightning scene in the last eps) and just enjoy the ride, because it was a really really really good one.
