If you are looking for a cutesy modern cdrama.......
Then this is a very good drama to start with.
Focusing on the FL's innocent singleness, and her fan girl admiration with a young popular author, after making an unintentional wish about having her own 'unforgettable love', the ML in Ming Dynasty attire, enters her world ( this is where
I thought he could fit into a Wuxia style drama prequel).
There is an innocent tension between the main leads throughout the story, until the ML 'realises' his feelings toward the FL. The ML character is delivered spot on by CZY, adding realistic credibility and depth to a character that not only believes he has time travelled into the future (modern China), adapts to his 'new reality' only to realise that he is just.....( That's a spoiler I can't reveal...).
What did throw me back was the ML's sudden displays of more aggressive interactions and 'rough handling' of the FL ( on one occasion, he grabbed her by the arm to turn to him, when he tried to avoid her he 'jokingly' threatened to 'remove her head'( I'm typing this politely!) then in another he almost picks up and moves her to the side to be in front of him - women are NOT dolls to be grabbed, threatened, toyed with nor moved around! Again, maybe this is how the screenwriters wrote the character, but I was also surprised by the FL's 'non-reaction' and not displaying clear disapproval, resistance or at least discomfort ! The FL is still not weak, but I didn't understand why, even if she was in love with the ML, acknowledge this rough treatment!
*** I get it is a drama, acting, but a lot of not so healthy, confusing messages are pumped into society from entertainment ****
Aside from this observation, this is a surprisingly good drama to watch where all actors deliver their roles well, even if they are a second, third or even cameo role. I also liked how the overall tone and vibe of the drama is innocent, light hearted, yet held together with a sprinkling of wuxia fantasy and down to earth realism.
