PPL and Propaganda piece disguised as a rom-com
When you fast forward through the awkwardly placed advertisements and the excessively tedious scenes about China's space race (waste of money, resources and detrimental to the environmental btw), you get yourself a cute, light-hearted romantic comedy that is mostly carried by Dilraba Dilmurat.
Dilraba is a charming and dynamic presence onscreen, especially in contrast to her leading man, YangYang, who looks like he's posing for a magazine every time he moves. The scenes that focus on the latter - which there are a lot of them as the drama goes into strange science-fiction territory - are pretty boring. The dialogue is difficult to understand, YangYang's acting ranges between looking serious and mildly surprised, and the propaganda is so blatant and annoying. I swear, if I took a shot every time a character said "For the glory of the motherland" I would be passed out drunk on the kitchen floor.
Nevertheless, the scenes in which are leads are together are sweet (even if they do sometimes feel shallow with all the talk about looks). Dilraba and YangYang have good chemistry together which makes up for the latter's otherwise boring and wooden presence onscreen.
I would not watch it again, and would advise anyone who is interested in watching this for the leads and the romance to fast forward through all of the aerospace stuff and treat episode 30 as if it were the last episode.
