very slow erratic romance one wonders if it's actually moving
After watching The Story of Yanxi Palace I was very happy to find this title with the same great main leads. They are lovely together no doubt, however, I had to plow through this drama and I was able to reach the end by skipping a lot. I understand the appeal for those that enjoy this type of plot, but for those that prefer a better definition of feelings and certainty from the main leads, less injustice, and less frustration then this might not be for you.
Another puzzling factor was that I found most of the "reasons" for main events to happen quite weak and often not making sense with the star one being the fact that for half of the drama the FL is always working and couldn't even go through a complete dinner date with her boyfriend and the other half she is just helping taking care of the Granpa and grandson and not working at all. Since I skipped a lot I might have missed an essential explanation, but still, the contrast is just too striking.
I will not go lower than 7 because of the main leads, Granpa and grandson but overall for me, it was quite disappointing bland, and frustrating.
