Great acting was performed. The pacing is perfect, and character development is immaculate.
It's basically a must-watch for anyone who wants to see a witty ML and FL fall in love naturally and profoundly. No draggy or slow episodes, EP35 was a favorite that I frequently rewatch.

I love Chinese costume dramas, and I binge-watched this one for two days because I couldn't stop. I only got a few hours of sleep, but I wish it hadn't ended already.

I definitely appreciate how the ML acted, restrained love that flourished between the couple. The way they expressed their feelings is just devine.  I adore how much the FL loves her mother and her rationalizations for various actions. It is a story of culture and defiance that stays within reasonable bounds.

I enjoy happy endings that take their time.
