Ok, so where do I start on this train wreck? The weak plot? The bad cgi effects or the terrible acting by both leads....especially the female lead, I'm on a drama binge and I've literally watched 5 of her dramas just in this month and her acting does not improve,her chemistry with her co-stars is all but none existent. But anyway back to the matter at hand.

This drama was a mess, loved the cute little annimals and the fantasy theme but I had to grit my teeth and force myself through the whole thing. If you're a huge fan of the actors then maybe you'll enjoy it more but as for myself, I can't say I'd recommend this to anyone.

A nice drama that suffers from a weak storyline

So, before anyone comes at me, this is my complete unbiased review of the drama.

Story:
The story started out slow and a bit dull on the first episode, but I decided to stick through it and I fell in love with it by the second episode, it was fun, flirty and made me pause several times in other to squeal at the scenes lmao, but after the 8th episode the show got kind of boring, story wise, and never really picked up again, it's like they focused so much on the flirty scenes and left everything else as secondary, we'd literally go entire episodes with nothing really going, and the story was just stuck at certain points.
But one thing it did have going for it was that the actors made their characters work well together.

Acting:
Both actors did really good with their characters, but there was just the one little thing about Simon, it was like at times he didn't know what facial expression to make and his face and mouth did this awkward put like things especially when he was laughing and like it didn't follow the voice acting and looked off.

Costume:
Costume looked kinda cheap, but hey, I've seen way worse.

Rewatch Value
Can't say I'd watch it completely again, but I'd definitely watch compilations of the cute, flirty moments on YT.

All in all, it was ok, I was hoping it would be better but still, it was ok. Give it a try, everyone is different and has different taste and you might like a lot more.

This story could have been really great but it suffers from a weak main leads, weak writing and lackluster execution.
The main leads had as much chemistry as two rocks, which is sad cause I really liked the main actress when she was in The Legend of Yun Xi, the main actor is just all around bad, can barely show any emotions. The monk and Xioaqing would have made better leads.
The story was redundant and weak, it had some good moments but not nearly enough to save the show, it was lucky to be short so you can power through it.
Overall, I would say watch it if you're a fan of the actors or if you're interested in the lore of it but I can't say I'd ever re-watch this.
