honestly, i read all of the novels way back and when the drama came out i was more than skeptical, considering people were saying it isn't very good. I personally found it great! xz and wyb are great actors and even though censorship exists, they managed to get the chemistry between wwx and lwj very intense.
just a thing, if you are a chinese speaker like myself, i would reccomend subtitles in simplified (or traditional idk what you know) because i've never heard of some of these terms. (obviously this does not affect the rating at all) and it might be because i am not from mainland china but taiwan, so that might be it.
