Audience Reviews
Haha, So funny!
The male lead is good-looking, and Shu Chang is also good-looking. It just feels like the two are not from the same era... As for the plot, it follows the short drama routine. There isn't much of a plot. Just enjoy it and that's it. I'm quite curious why Shu Chang came to act in this kind of drama.
Haha, So funny!
Although the serious drama actors perform with excellent acting skills, there is no CP feeling between the male and female, nor the feeling of an older sister-younger brother relationship. It always feels awkward to watch.
The first short drama I watched was because of the big star Shu Chang. I still remember that Xiao Yu in "Lotus Lantern" was extremely beautiful. This short drama also has a good sense of quality. Although the plot can be guessed, it is still very good-looking.
This notebook looks really ugly.
Someone asked me if the male and female leads are normal people... I said they are not normal people, but they are a normal domineering CEO and a normal strong female lead 😂

Short dramas are simply satisfying dramas.
The plot of this version is the best-paced and most complete so far. Shu Chang's performance is also the most relaxed and appropriate. The male lead is also a fitting supporting character. It's very good.
Haha, So funny!
Is it interesting for everyone? Maybe.
哈哈，真有趣！
Shu Chang | Nan Sangning * Cai Xinyang | He Siyu Compared with other versions, this version of Nan Sangning is more in line with the character setting, and her behavior and manner are more like a princess in ancient times. Such is the power of acting skills. However, as a short romantic drama, the lack of chemistry between the characters is a fatal flaw.
Prefer the other version. I don't know if it's the filter or something else, but it just feels strange and there's no CP feeling.
