Started strong but ended poorly
I absolutely adored this drama up until about 10 episodes from the end.
The show really excelled in the soft romantic moments between Tao Le Si and Lu Tian Xing/Xiao Lu, especially during that one episode where he gets sick, and she comes to take care of him on her birthday. He surprises her with a birthday cake and they celebrate together, and it's legitimately one of my favorite moments in any drama I've ever watched. I could've watched 50 episodes of just Lu Tian Xing/Xiao Lu and Tao Le Si being cute. But then, the reveal that Xiao Lu was Lu Tian Xing happened.
Obviously, at some point, the fact that he was pretending to be Xiao Lu had to come out, and I'm not frustrated that Tao Le Si found out, it's the way the show's story completely shift after the fact. What started as a comedic show, with really soft, romantic moments, as mentioned prior, became a melodrama, to the point where it felt like I was watching an entirely different show. The whole plotline with Huan Huan at the end ruined the show for me. I feel like the writers didn't know what to do with the characters once the reveal happened, so they just stuck them into this weird scenario. The company burning down? Lu Tian Xing being manipulated into marrying Huan Huan? The fact that Huan Huan had to use a wheelchair after falling off a hill (that incline was legitimately a hill it was not a cliff like they said it was)?
The actors were fine. I especially loved Aaron Yan, who plays Lu Tian Xing. I thought he did well playing two contrasting characters.
The only rewatch value this drama has is for the first half, prior to the reveal that Lu Tian Xing was Xiao Lu. I've honestly gone back and watched some of my favorite moments. Anything after the reveal I've completely ignored.
Overall, I'd give this drama a 5.5/10. It gets 5 points off for the poor writing after the reveal, but half a point back for the cute moments in the first half I loved.
