I LOVED this drama! I was literally so sad when it finally finished airing. I watched it raw and then went back to watch it subbed when it aired. I loved the character buildups and the flow of the storyline. Plus, it's rare having smart leads who aren't pushovers. I love Xu Xu's intelligence, her weak physicality, and her innocent naivety.
Sure there were quite a few changes made to the drama, like not adding Xu Xu's brother or her secret admirer/Ji Bai's love rival and making Ye Zi Xi related to Ji Bai etc. Though there were these changes the story still made sense. The cinematography and editing were also very well done!
Yes, there was that cliffhanger at the end... so it did make it an open ending but it was a happy ending...
I actually wouldn't mind if there was a season 2 since I loved the cast. How could you not love Wang Zi Wen and Wang Kai? They were wonderful~
