The Flowers Are Blooming (2021)

In the beginning, the story was engaging.
I mean it's my first time finding a historical drama that has architectural theme.
The story focused on the architecture but also connected to the main leads problem

The main couple, CLY-LQF, are cute, but their chemistry was weak. FL did a good job with her character, ML's acting felt robotic at some parts, and the kiss scene doesn't look convincing.

The side couples were more interesting, AXL-MYX & HNN-LY. Even with minimum screentime they still had good chemistry.
ZYN was good addition to the story. She didn't have much development, but she's fun to watch. I wish they did better with WS's character. In the whole story he always stood there as the guard, no backstory or whatsoever.

The used of architecture theme was good and very entertaining! There's new things to solve from every project. And the way the friendship grows between the 8 people were heartwarming.

Music used was okay, it fit the mood. The setting and costumes looks pretty. CGI looks cheap, but it wasn't so bad.

I guess this supposed to be a light hearted drama. And i like fluffy/light-hearted dramas the most. But this one felt bland, especially during halfway of the story.

I started to watch for Fu Yaning and she doesn't disappoint. She did good with her role. I just had a hard time getting used with the dubbed voice.

Overall, some parts of the drama are bad. But if you accept everything as it is, it will probably be an okay drama. If you have a lot of free time or if you are a fan of the actors, go ahead and give it a try!
