Pleasantly Surprised! <3
I'll be honest—I went into this show with low expectations. Whether that may have inflated the overall rating, you be the judge of that. All I can say is, for a Chinese drama, it does not disappoint! :'D
I was definitely pleasantly surprised by the overall production value. That constant ad at the beginning of each ep seems worth it now! It wasn't necessarily GRADE A CINEMATOGRAPHY, But it was very good, and I'd say the music and editing were about above average as well.
The M.C. Lin Sen He, comes off as very overbearing in the first few eps, but he begins to grow on you, especially after he falls in love with Bai Xiao Xin. He just turns into caramel, and he's mostly in the palm of her hand it's very adorable. Also, I'd say that the FL, Bai Xiao Xin is a healthy dose of cute, but also self-sufficient. There are cases where she needs to be saved by the ML, but there are also cases where her quick wit saves him too! I think it's a nice balance.
Finally, wow, for a Chinese drama this sure had a lot of kiss scenes um—
Not that I'm complaining.
Typically we're starved for like at LEAST 3, sometimes oNLY 1, so I applaud the two leads for that! Esp, Zhang Yu Jian! (I'll be honest, I didnt really expect much from any of the cast going into this, so this was a pleasant surprise seeing a ML who actually knows how to kiss o.O OFC IT WAS STILL PG-11 DONT GET UP IN ARMS ABT IT) Also, the FL actress Lu Zhao Hua, she also still managed to capture some level of chemistry! The kisses/romantic scenes weren't awkward at all, but not TOO comfortable, where you feel like you're spying on an irl couple....o.O if that makes sense.

But yeah, this show was good! The only reason I put the rewatch value so low, (and my one real issue with this show really...) is that the storyline sorta restarts 3 times (more like 2 times...really) due to the whole comet thing....But thats just if you get a little tired of it like I see myself if I rewatch this in the future. That's easily solved by just fast-forwarding—no biggie.
To close, I finally have another Chinese drama I can recommend to my friends when they ask for recommendations! The length was pretty good, so was the cast, and so was everything else. The rating The Night of The Comment II has right now (7.8) is pretty accurate I'd say. I went slightly below just because if i look at it in the context of other shows I've seen, it doesnt really OUTSHINE them, but this is a good show nonetheless.
