Cheesy romance

Story contains almost every cheesy romantic trope there is and a lot is predictable. It was interesting in the first half and then became a bit boring. Don't even remember laughing at any stage even with genre including comedy.

This is for someone that don't mind cheesy romance around every corner. There's isn't really much to this series other than romance, the rest is just things to fill the episodes and my rating therefore only 7 overall.

There's also no real chemistry between any of the couples. Some of the characters that were supposed to be seniors and older family acted childish and assume this was how the characters were written. Actors did ok but nobody really stood out for me personally. Acting therefore 7.5

Its a easy watch and you don't really need to concentrate too much.

Production and Visual FX : average with mainly campus setting. 7 rating

OST wasn't memorable at all. 7 rating

Rewatch value: very low

Enough of everything, enjoyed it❤️

A good historical romance series ❤️

Everything was great, only reason for 8.5 rating is that the cheesy moments were so much that it was cringe at times. I understand that the main take away, which I feel the writer wanted to bring across, is of a New beginning, i.e. changes that are made for a better life.

All actors did a great job of portraying their respective characters and enjoyed the different personalities of the princes (the good ones). The angst and court policies were needed especially with the cheesy parts, but would have been better if there were a titbit more.

Enjoyed the OST.

Won't necessarily rewatch but perhaps my absolute favorite moments of Prince Yin Qi and princess Shan Guang Jing, really enjoyed the interactions between them and it would have been absolutely boring if it was not included along with Prince An's stupidness.

This series could have been so much better but was unfortunately disappointing

This series could have been so much better but was unfortunately disappointing. Very long, drawn out and slow paced...... I personally do not understand why it was produced this way but it must be due to the screenwriter, as the Producer has produced a number of very good shows such as Mysterious Lotus Casebook. It could have been done in at least 24 episodes to have a better flow and keep the viewer wanting more. I wanted to skip / fast forward at times but watched with eng subs so it wasn't doable.

The actors did a good job and Bai Lu and Dylan Wang did not disappoint. Their chemistry was on point and affection believable. The side couples also did well and their storyline was better than the Main couple's. The main couple's storyline was at times clouded by clichés and downright childish misunderstandings and miscommunication.

Story had flaws and its too tedious to go through everything.

Ost wasn't memorable

Production and Visual FX : 8

Slow at the beginning, but it grew on me with each episode

Very good series, enjoyed it!! For me it was 'slow' at the beginning, but it grew on me with each episode.

I loved the characters and actors did a great job in portraying them. Character building / development, especially with Lu Lingfeng.

Everything felt just right and the cases were interesting with a fitting resolution to all of them. Taking into account that this is not based on a novel but on several folk tales, it is well scripted and produced, especially the illusions that features throughout the drama.

Ost and sound effects well placed and appropriate. Must honestly say that the cases, illusions and visuals took all my attention and can't really recall any particular song that caught my attention.

Can't wait for the second season to be aired. According to news filming was just completed and we will hopefully see the characters in action early in 2024.

Expected more.....

This series was ok - expected more with the high douban rating as well as mdl rating of 8.5.

The story didn't draw me in that much and I was not anxiously waiting to see the next episode. Also no slow burn romance as there was no chemistry between the couples.

The head eunoch serving the emperor was really annoying and didn't come across as a villain - maybe he wasn't supposed to be seen as a villain? Historically eunochs did usurp power and believed themselves to have as much power as the emperor but this character did not portray that - more of a delusional crazy person if anything.

Everything else was just so so. Finished the series just for the sake of seeing how everything would unfold. The Coroner findings and how it was reached was interesting though.

Writer brought us 'Something Different' with an exciting 'new world'.

A very good Fantasy series. Really enjoyed it. Writer brought us Something Different with an exciting 'new world'.

Loved the characters and actors did a great job at portraying their respective characters. Liked Ye Liuxi's character and Ni Ni did really well portraying her character as well as Bai Yu as Chang Dong. Ni Ni and Bai Yu did great together and Chemistry was awesome and their love believable. Also enjoyed Fei Tang, Ding Liu, Gao Shen and He's characters as well as Lin Jin Ao .

Visual effects and Production were also very good. Liked the desert setting as well as the cities within the parallel world. The Inns and Gateways were also great.

Ost: loved it, especially 'As as Mirage' by Jane Zhang as well as Fierce Wind Raid by Liu Yuning.

Rewatch value : 8

Ticked all the boxes for me and rated 8.5/10 because ending left me with a sense of 'needed more'

Really enjoyed this Romance Series ❤️

I smiled throughout, accept of course the villian's part.

I enjoyed the acting of the ML & FL as their love rang true through their acting. No 'fish lip' kisses and affection & love appeared genuine.

All the Arc's and plots were thought out and complemented the overall storyline.

Loved the OST, there could have been another great song though as the main theme song felt overly used.

Production and Visual FX : 8.5

Rewatch value: Will rewatch if I need a feel good drama after watching a heart wrenching sad story.

Really enjoyed this series ❤️

SMALL SPOILER

Ticked all the boxes for me and rated 9/10 because ending left me with a sense of 'needed more', just a kiss or hug and not just running towards each other......... Waited for them to reach each other but ended with them still about 1 or 2 meters apart.....

Loved all the characters and actors did a great job of portraying their respective characters.

Gong Jun and Elaine Zhong were great as mains and really enjoyed them both. I'm impressed with Elaine Zhong, her acting is above average in my opinion and I am definitely a fan. Wish that she will be casted in more dramas & movies.
Another actor that really impressed me is Gao Zhi Ting as Yang Jian . His acting was spot on for his character and definitely the right choice. Will check out other dramas that his in to compare his performance.

OST was alo great and certain songs played at specified scenes added to the mindset of the character.

Overall very enjoyable watch and will miss these characters a lot.

The viewer gets drawn into everything and you 'feel' all sorts of emotions with and for everyone

A very good series which I thoroughly enjoyed. The viewer gets drawn into everything and you 'feel' all sorts of emotions with and for everyone. The actors really did well and can't imagine different actors portraying these characters. Chen Xiao and Lui Guan Lin stood out above the others with great performances.

I hanged on to the last few episodes dreading for it to come to an end.... because I wanted to be 'part' of their world a little longer.

That's what drama is supposed to be, taking you into their world and keeping you engaged.

Production and Visual FX : 8.5

OST: 9

Not perfect but it was good? Enjoyed the anime that was included here and there

A good historical romance series. Enjoyed it.

******SMALL SPOILER ********

Story: 9 well written with well thought out plots, character building and everything nicely tied up.

Acting : 8.5 All actors did a great job at portraying their respective characters. Leo Wu and Dilraba Dilmurat did well but chemistry between them was just not there making it hard to believe they are in love. Zhao Lusi and Liu Yuning did great and their 'love' was believable, as well as that of Xiyue Cao and Yi Daqian's.

Production and Visual FX : 8.5 enjoyed the anime that was included here and there. Costumes for the Ashile tribe and other tribes were great especially that of Ashile Sun (Leo Wu)

OST: 9 loved all the songs used and sound effects were just right.

Rewatch value : 0 Even though I enjoyed it I don't think I will rewatch it and there's also no single episode that wowed me in such a way that I would pin it to watch again later.

Fresh and unique ❤️ Loved it

Really enjoyed this series ❤️

Both ML & FL were great in their respective roles. Both were the best choices for these roles in my opinion - can't imagine any other actors that could have pulled this off as they did. Also enjoyed the side characters.

The story is fresh and unique and can't recall any other series that's similar to this. Binged this series as there were no dull moments and kept me wanting to see the next episode.

I loved the songs played through out the series, perfectly chosen and played at the right moment and will definitely add some to my Playlist.

Highly recommended ❤️

Thought provoking and produced so well.

A very good Thriller Romance SciFi.

I enjoyed this very much, the actors did an amazing job portraying of portraying their respective characters.

The story was very different from what I've watched and even read in novels before and was thought provoking and produced so well.

I was pulled into the story from the get go and different emotions were evoked and I cried in almost every episode up to say episode 14. Did cry again after that but less than the previous episodes.

Just note that you need to really pay attention / concentrate on everything that is happening otherwise you will get confused or loose track.

Loved the theme song and will look for it online to download.

Might rewatch this in a few months time, especially when I need a good cry session.

BRILLIANT is all I can say!!!!!

This is really a brilliant Thriller Mystery drama series. A must watch as it is full of twists and turns as well as unexpected outcomes through out the series which keeps you guessing until the very last minutes in the final episode.

The story was brilliantly laid out and brings the viewer into the world of The Tower's Occupants and the events that took place as well as the back story of what happened in the lives of the main cast. This is a gripping story that will keep you wanting to see what actually happened, how everything fits together and who the culprit is.

The actors did amazingly well in portraying their respective characters and Ican't really isolate specific actors, as all of them made their characters stand out the way they should and making the story believable.

The production and Visual FX were also done very well, including Cinematography, wardrobe, make-up, sets etc.

Ost was good and the main theme song You & I was beautiful. I immediately downloaded the song and added it to my playlist.

Rewatch value : Medium. Will rewatch to see if I can spot any clues (which I didn't in most instances) that I have missed in the initial watch.

Definitely worth the watch!!

This was an excellent series. I usually don't watch this type of series - specifically mass shootings, as the stories covered in the news are so upsetting and makes me unsettled. But this is truly something that everyone should watch. So I highly recommend it.

The story was well thought out by the writer to provide maximum impact within the 10 episodes. For one I think this was just right as more episodes would have taken away the crucial points and message for everyone, be it for the victims family/friends, the family/friends of the killer, the staff at news agencies, the lawyers and the doctors, etcetera etcetera. And of course more episodes would have been more emotionally draining with more crying etcetera etcetera...

A perspective from almost all parties involved which gives us a better understanding of what people go through in such difficult circumstances.

The acting was great and actually felt like a recording of actual events. Each character, in whatever situation was chosen perfectly in my opinion which includes the supporting cast.

The Production and Visual effects were also well done.

Ost and sound effects: Must be honest and say that the story and acting was so compelling that I can't even remember whether there were any songs:)

Rewatch value is actually very low, I learnt a lot but won't necessarily rewatch as I cried too much. But this shouldn't be detrimental in deciding whether to watch it or not. This is just my personal feelings regarding the emotionally draining content. Still a must watch.

Thoroughly enjoyed this ❤️ It was 'original' and thought provoking.

This was an awesome Mystery Romance, which I thoroughly enjoyed.

Its not the normal trope of 'being transported into a novel' etcetera etcetera. It was 'original' and thought provoking. I couldn't stop at the end of an episode unless I was extremely tired and had to go to sleep.

When I was thinking of the rating for this series, I couldn't think of anything that I would have changed if I was the script writer, so I give it a 10/10.

The main characters were portrayed very well by the respective actors and I will see if there's other series's in which they are also the main leads.

Rewatch: Very likely as I really enjoyed it.
