To start off, from the moment I saw the trailer I had high expectations for this drama and I was not disappointed. I judge my dramas primarily by how good the actors' chemistry is and this one was absolutely a TWENTY OUT OF TEN!!!

The acing and casting was PERFECT! Every eyebrow twitch, smile, gaze (ugh the way he stares at lusi is so sexy) was perfectly executed by Ryan Ding; he puts so much work into his acting God bless that cutie <3. Zhao lusi is perfect for this role I love her laugh and her mischievousness. All the side characters were also amazing––the servants for comedic relief was FANTASTIC!

Unlike many other dramas, the kisses were actually filled with passion and their eyes were closed like normal people!! Not to mention they weren't scared of being too touchy and viewers got many cute intimate scenes frequently!!

I also appreciated how the drama took on deeper issues like switching the gender roles, feelings of a disabled person, adopted child, wondering if the world we live in is crafted by a script writer, etc. It gave more depth and meaning to the show. I also really liked the mom as a character, not only is she super regal and gorgeous she was so loving to Qian Qian and didn't interfere too much with her children's marriages.

Additionally, the plot was equally exciting; since it was only 24 eps it was fast paced and action packed and were not extra side character storyline plot fillers.

Finally, even when Han Shuo felt betrayed by Qian Qian, he still loved her and was devoted to her. Not to mention he looks great in black. But srsly tho, a committed man and a healthy relationship where they don't let misunderstandings get in the way of their love for each other. Overall, AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING definitely recommend!!!

BEST DRAMA EVER!!! PERIODT!!!!

OH MY GOSH. I cannot gush enough about this drama. I cried, I laughed, I loved, every single second of it. A must watch if you haven't already and a rewatch if you have. The whole cast is extremely gorgeous, the storyline is exciting and mysterious, the aesthetics on point, music: fabulous, productions: out of this world, but most importantly, the messages it sends are so wholesome, heartwarming, and healing. It's been such a joy to watch and I'm so glad this has become part of my life. This is the first drama I've watched that hasn't left me feeling empty after it's over but instead happy and whole.

SO WORTH YOUR TIME

Storyline:
This drama absolutely BLEW my mind. You know a show is good when you're trying to eat ramen during it and you can't because you're too focused on the show. It continually surprised me with innovative plot twists and storylines that I could not predict. Not to mention the production of the show was FANTASTIC. I love how they used the concept of time to intelligently confuse the watchers while explain and interweave the backstories of the characters. The connections that this show made were amazing. Definitely did not see the character identity reveals coming. I also how they used subtle details to depict unsaid parts of the story. This show also just taught me a lot about what it's like in the courtroom and being a lawyer and prosecutor so I enjoyed that.

Acting:
PHENOMENAL. There were many crying scenes because of the tragedies that occurred in the plot and I thought every actor nailed them. Didn't seem over the top or not enough; I thought they captured the pain that the character would feel while scream sobbing perfectly.

Romance/Chemistry:
I actually enjoyed how there wasn't as many romantic scenes in this dramas as others because the main focus of the story on other topics was really well done and felt more important. However, the emotional and romantic connection was very much felt. I liked how the two leads grew together and were connected by fate and how dedicated they were to each other. I liked that there wasn't much of a love triangle and that the men stayed really good friends.

Music:
Perfectly matched every scene and expressed the tone of each scene well. Some great soundtracks in there.

Overall:
FREAKIN AMAZING. I'm so happy I watched it and Korean productions are genius, everyone involved with this project deserves so much credit for how great this was.
