Two Good Actor and Actress in a cringe and cliché drama.

I just finished watching To Ship Someone, and while I enjoyed it overall, it left me with mixed feelings. It took me ten days to finish it because of my academic life and also because some scenes felt really dragged that made it impossible for me to binge watch. But I would still say I loved the drama. Frankly speaking I continued to watch this drama only for the two main leads. I admire them both quite a lot so I stayed. Also their sweet moments, kisses, and interactions were truly heartwarming.

The drama has its strengths and weaknesses. The lead actors deliver admirable performances, with Zhu Zhengting (gosh he's so cute and admirable hehe <3 ) portraying the emotionally guarded Ji Shu and Lu Yuxiao (love her^-^) bringing the cheerful Song Yanqi to life. Their on-screen chemistry is great, making their romantic interactions cute and enjoyable. The supporting cast also done a good job. However, certain scenes lack adequate explanation, leading to noticeable plot holes that may leave viewers seeking more clarity.

Additionally, the pacing is uneven; extended focus on the antagonist's schemes tends to overshadow the development of the central romance, causing the narrative to feel unnecessarily prolonged. While the drama concludes on a happy note, a more balanced distribution of screen time, emphasising the protagonists' relationship over repetitive conflicts, could have enhanced the overall storytelling. I think the drama could have been better paced, with the focus shifted to giving the main leads more sweet, lovey-dovey moments rather than prolonging the conflict unnecessarily.

Despite these shortcomings, this drama offers sweet romantic moments and showcases strong performances from its cast. Fans of urban fantasy romances may find it an enjoyable watch but you would need patience when watching some scenes. So If you’re someone who enjoys good acting and doesn’t mind a few cliché elements, this drama might still be worth a watch.
