Well Done Rom-Com Parody on C-Drama Tropes

OVERALL
I won’t say much because there are not many episodes and I don’t want to spoil many moments. I promise that you will be laughing your way through this drama. There were some moments where it can feel slow, but they are doable moments. You will fall in love with the supporting cast and end up wanting a second season. The production quality isn’t great, but with this low budget and great acting, it was something that could be overlooked.

STORY
The story first started with our male lead questioning the script of the drama. Why do the main leads have to fall in love with the female lead just because she was the female lead? This is an issue that I have seen lately with dramas. Just because they are listed as main leads, they are to fall in love but there is little to no courtship or compelling reason for them to fall in love with each other. It is like an arranged marriage that is to happen per your parents’ request.

The second trope is time travel/jumping into a novel/taking over someone else’s body (my guilty pleasure trope). If you read enough web novels or watch enough C-dramas, you know this is a popular trope. If there was not a ban in China on this trope, we would see it more in the web novel turned dramas. This trope showing up in the drama made it into a comedy filled with so much laughter involving our female lead.

There are many more tropes, but they are easter eggs for you to find when you watch it.

ACTING/CAST/CHARACTERS
Zhao Lu Si has done it again in bringing her character to life and this time as Chen Xiao Qian/Qian Qian. Her character was so hilarious to watch because she knows she’s stuck in a predicament where she wrote for her character to die. She tries to stick to the original storyline but then tries so hard to survive so that she can go back home.

This is my first drama with Ding Yuxi and he is a great actor who uses his facial expressions and little movements to add to his acting. I’m so excited to check out more of his works.

Honorable mentions to Zi Rui and Bai Ji for making me laugh so much! I hope to see them all in the second season!

MUSIC
The music didn’t stand out much for me while watching. Henry Huo’s Rumor and Shuang Sheng and Yao Yang’s Moonlight were great tracks. Zhao Lusi also sang one of the soundtracks.

RE-WATCH VALUE
I would re-watch this series again. It’s a lighthearted romantic comedy that doesn’t take more than 16 episodes to complete. I think that itself is a great reason to re-watch.
