Watch for romance, not for plot. Be ready to skip a lot.
Going for romance? Go for it! Romance is done really well, main leads had real good chemistry and fluff moments were just so sweet to watch. I liked secondary couple too (Han Chuan and Ming Zhu not that good for nothing Ying Dong), although bittersweet their story was just so heartfelt. Still be ready to skip some unnecessary drama.
Going for plot? You will be frustrated. This drama like other C-Dramas will test your patience with plot. Plot is a utter mess. Forget logic, you would find it hard to even find basic common sense here. Characters will prefer taking the most idiotic possible decision possible instead of the more natural and sensible ones. Direction is also nothing talk-worthy with real bad editing on top of that. If you can bear with all that or can skip that, go ahead, this drama will be fun to watch.
As for character development, its there but not nearly enough. FL is annoyingly dumb and fickle at times but becomes likable later. ML is okay, watchable. The good for nothing character "Ying Dong" is given too much screentime and that becomes annoying fast, I would have preferred if they skipped that character altogether. On the contrary, character of "Han Chuan" projected so much depth that all his scenes of relation dynamics with "Ming Zhu" were attention sinks, phenomenal performance by Gardner Tse.
Everyone acted good, so no issues there.
Music...can't remember at all, and that's immediately after completing it...that says a lot.
I watched this after "Lady and Liar" and honestly this is miles better but still not upto mark. I liked the FL here more but I liked the ML in Lady and Liar much more.
Overall a fun watch, though had to skip some parts. Good, decent, 7.0/10
