Dropped halfway
Very relieved after reading some of the bad reviews here because I am one of the people that clearly did not enjoy this drama a single bit. It was so bad that I gave it a chance, and still couldn't finish it.Although I was not a fan of JJY but her past works on historical dramas are pretty decent and with Joseph Zeng as the ML, everything seems very promising. BUT this show is just so hard to watch with (1) CRAZY second ML and FL that are obsessive and annoying (2) No idea whats charismatic about FL like is she supposed to be smart and charming? because i don't see it. And yet we see so many ML dying to marry her (3) I wasted 20+ episodes seeing 2nd ML go crazy for FL just to be with her and he just couldn't get his shit together (4) Low chemistry between both main leads. Nothing wow about their character and no growth as well.
FINAL VERDICT: no selling point for this drama - if you want romance, there are better romance drama with JJY/Joseph. if you want political dramas, there are many better ones out there too. only watch if you're a die hard fan of the casts if not u will have a heart attack watching it.

typical love story
Almost nothing special about the show. Typical FL have a crush on ML when she was in school then met ML again etc. etc.Female lead character is meh.. nothing out of the box. ZBB acting is good and nice to look at.. but character is also meh. I am not sure if Yu Shuxin's role here is supposed to be exaggerating but it seems very "loud". their chemistry is much better off screens as compared to the drama. Both of them also shine better in other drama.
However, this show is still very light and fluffy and have abit of humour elements in it. Both them also have a fair bit of lovey moments and development is also ok. Would still recommend to watch to kill time.

Not feeling good about the male lead
Plot of this show is pretty good, pace was great, each character stood out on it's own. I am not the biggest fan of revenge shows but some of them can good. This show gives abit of the Itaewon Class vibes if you have watched.However, out of all the characters in this show, I don't vibe with male lead the most. I have to say I am never into male leads that are arrogant just because they are good at one thing/ is deemed as super good-looking/ the fact that people have to "worship" him for nothing about the personality. While i did enjoyed Li Xun and Zhu Yun's love story, i didn't like how Li Xun treated other people (including Zhu Yun at times too!!). Ofcourse he was always the best at coding and have his own family issues (the so called perfect typical male lead with issues), however, he doesn't treat other people like his team mates or ZY's parents the best either. I wouldn't say he deserved the hate but i just think that how he was treated was an effect from his own attitude in the first place. His family issues should not an excuse for him to project it on other people.
One thing that kept me going was the female lead - one of the strongest and actually smart female lead I have seen in a long while. She never doubted Li Xun and always loved and supported him throughout the entire show. I would say for Li Xun, he wouldn't be able to grow as a person if not for Zhu Yun by his side/ he wouldn't be that bit of a likable person if not for Zhu Yun. While Zhu Yun always allow Li Xun to shine, he doesn't bring the best out of her in their relationship.
u can watch for the plot, romance is pretty cute and sweet, OSTs are good. I did enjoy the show but wouldn't rewatch it again. Ofcourse if you're the same as me where u are not into male leads like li xun character, then u dont have to worry about suffering from male lead syndrome.
