I'm only leaving a review because while I can see why this drama is so popular, I don't believe it deserves the high rating it got. I remember reading the summary of the plot before it aired and feeling very excited. But from the first episodes I noticed something that became a pattern in every single episode from then on, and basically ruined this drama for me. I felt the potential as well as the hard work the actors put in. However, our protagonist --who is played by an actress I really love by the way-- is a very badly written character to put it plainly. She reacts to every situation in the best way possible. Whenever the viewer senses a typical annoying drama moment coming on, she "surprises" everyone by being unbelievably understanding and exceptionally smart. She never overreacts or makes any serious mistakes. She basically barely has a character of her own. As Hua Zhi, some of her traits really sticked, I'll give the writers that, like her forward way of thinking, her wit, her love for her grandfather. But she didn't feel like an actual leal. Same goes for ML. Just two very dull characters. I swear, I thought this drama had so much it could have done with that storyline. But even if they wanted a non-typical FL, she didn't have to turn out this robotic. Basically, for me the leads just didn't feel human enough. Other characters in this drama were written so much better. I was shocked when I saw the rating because compared to so many other great shows, this got a 8.7 which feels very undeserved for me. Having said that, I enjoyed many of the episodes and I do understand if not many are bothered by the things I mentioned.
