Since this is my first Chinese drama I dont know if the style in this particular drama is common in china. That being said I have things I liked and disliked about the show.
I didn't like how the dubbing felt so off, it was very distracting but since they speak so fast and you have to really try and keep up with the subtitles eventually you grow to not notice it as much. The flashback scenes were so. freaking. long. and I thought kdramas were bad @.@ Also its kind of disappointing how the CGI is in this drama but they didn't use it too much for me to say it ruined the drama, it was still enjoyable.
For majority of the drama Tian Jing Zhi was my favorite character. She was crazy, confident, pretty, brave and yeah crazy. I also greatly enjoyed her and Xue Ling Qiao's banter and sarcasm it's probably the highlight of this show for me. I overall liked them together very much until...the moral dilemma came. She really disappointed me at this point..in fact she made me downright angry with what she decided to try and do against Xue Ling Qiao's will. If someone ever did it to me in real life even if it had no ill intention I would never want to see them again. But he eventually forgives her....love is so blind lol
The storyline and characters were overall enjoyable but I think this show has more episodes than it really needed because around the midpoint of watching this show it will feel slow and the relationship growth between the main pair (in my opinion) starts to plateau. I liked that they had more of a friendship in the beginning and then progressed into hiding feelings for each other but this phase lasted too long for me. I was waiting for the moment where he would express how they felt and transitioned from only doing couply stuff to pretend in front of other people to actually making the official decision to date even though it cant last. While their near death scenes are touching and filled with love, their everyday interactions didnt really step up to a new level and this is what made it hard to believe they had sex. Heck a kisses would have been enough. The kind that was just because he felt like it not because out of need and health.
Overall, I do recommend! It has alot of really funny scenes :)
