pros:
- easy storyline, nice and fast paced in the last 10 episodes.
- cute fluffy moments between the leads
- leads are very loyal to each other in the later half!! there are second leads but like they don’t cause too much trouble for the mains after a while.
- the wu ji and ling couple are the cutest <3
- HYX is quite possibly one of the most beautiful chinese actresses out there.
- loved the soundtrack!!! esp the theme song, i never skipped the theme song lol

cons:
- very obviously low budget. the costumes and makeup was sometimes a bit jarring. it’s not unwatchable though.
- draggy on the middle, i skipped loads. defo could have just done with 24 eps.
- ML was so abusive to FL in the first half, nearly ruined their chemistry for me.
- it’s nothing spectacular, like it’s an okay drama. i wouldn’t watch again but if you need something to pass time, or like a wind down drama because you have withdrawals from another one, this one is good.
- ending was happy but it was so rushed. a shame we never got to see into qiqi’s past properly and explore her mage powers.

looking forward to HYX’s future dramas!
and the guy that played Wu Ji defo needs a ML role soon.... ;)

overall, MDL rating is for once accurate. 7.5/10!
