I think the description of the drama was a bit misleading but let's talk about it.

The drama follows Sang Qi who wants to follow her brother's wishes to attend the Imperial College; I think that's where the drama should have stayed and focused on. The name of the drama is A Female Student Arrives at the Imperial College so they should have based the drama on her struggles as a female attending the Imperial College because in that time and place there could have been so many things to address and so many situations to speak about. Like, this could have symbolized that women are capable of learning and aspiring to be more than what society sees them as BUT the whole time she makes trouble, acts stupid, and proves that she does not deserve to be there. I think this was a missed opportunity.

Plot-wise, I did not care about any other character other than Zhuo Wen Yuan, I think he had a solid character from start to finish and I really liked him despite him being portrayed as the "bad guy". Honestly, this dude has been there for Sang Qi since day one, helping her, being by her side, literally doing EVERYTHING for her but you know what she does, throws all that out the window for a dude who did nothing other than being her brother's bestie ... I don't understand, SOMEONE EXPLAIN HOW THIS HAPPENED.

Anyway, this whole drama made me so mad, I literally skipped through the last 15 episodes because they were useless.
