I decided to watch this because of Wang Zhuo Cheng, who I really liked in the untamed, and I’m glad I did! I think the best thing about this drama is the characters and their relationships. All of the characters have very distinct personalities, which made me want to keep watching. I especially liked long hao qian and yi ming jun, and their bromance.

Story: As a whole, I liked the story.

The other reviews I read before watching this had me gearing up for a really stupid, out of nowhere, turn of events. But the *thing* that happens at episode 20 is hinted at earlier in the series, so I don’t think the plot/writing is as bad as people are making it out to be. I mean it gets a bit cringe lol but it’s not as out of left field as I predicted. The shift in tone is kinda out of place but whatever. Also, though there were some tropes earlier in the series, i feel like they didn’t overstay their welcome and become tedious. However, this might not bother me as much as it could bother other viewers because I’m fairly new to this genre of show. Idk, I just wanted to offer my two cents on something a lot of people have been complaining about, take it or leave it.

Acting: as a whole, I really liked the acting in this series. I think all of the main actors did a pretty good job of expressing their characters’ emotions. I seldom thought that it was awkward or stiff. Even the side characters are charismatic and interesting.

Music: I thought it was fine. It wasn’t annoying or cheesy, and I liked the song in the opening credits.

Rewatch value: I think this would be pretty fun to rewatch. It’s pretty funny, there’s parts that actually got me laughing out loud. The romantic scenes between the main couples were also pretty cute. Also, it seemed pretty well produced.
