Best romance-mystery period drama I've watched

Coming from a rewatch, I love this drama just as much the second time as the first.

First watch impression: I loooved the love triangle in this one. The romance is shown rather than told and the actions really add to the depth of the feeling between the ML and FL. I loved how their personalities remained consistent, some may find FL too straightforward/stubborn/frank, but I loved that. And Xiao Song (Merman Song) is everything I need in a man. Smart, capable, cheeky, grounded, unceasing in his efforts to protect Ran Yan. All in all, a perfect match.

Su Fu is . . . well, he does a lot of the saving physically, but Xiao Song does it also on an emotional level.

Second watch impression: Bai yi is awesome. I really wish the relationship between he and Sang Chen could have been explored more because I get such lovely BL vibes there, one (Sang Chen) being the clueless one. I know, censorship, blah... but it in my mind they'd make a lovely match.

Summing up: hugely recommend the watch if you like smart leads and acts of service in your romance.
