First of all I would like to start by saying that I am a hardcore fujoshi i.e. a yaoi/Boy's Love(BL) lover. I started watching this donghua because I saw that it was based off of a bl novel. I knew NOTHING about the story prior to starting this donghua since I hadn't read the novel.
After watching the first episode, three things were clear to me : 1) the art was great, 2) the OP and ED were really catchy and melodious, 3) the story was interesting. By the first 5 episodes I was in love with Shen Qiao and Yan Wushi's characters and the relationship
...
dynamics between them, which is kind of like the main attraction point of the series because of their polar opposite personalities and morals. But don't get me wrong it's the main attraction point, NOT the ONLY attraction point. The plot in itself is an attraction point as well. There is quite a bit of foreshadowing which makes it even more interesting to watch. And there is NOT a single episode in this 16 episode season which is boring to watch or that you can skip. I hope the next season airs soon.
For my fellow fujoshis/fudanshis, there are a lot of fangirling/boying moments ;) And of course Yan Wushi's cleavage is shown throughout the series(Yummy tiddies). But it's still shounen ai, you know, chinese censorship(*eye roll*).
One last thing that I would like to say is that I really loved the expressions of the characters. There was attention to detail.
So, even if you are a yaoi/bl lover or not, doesn't matter. All can watch and enjoy this donghua because of it's rich plot and great art/animation.
Hope my review helps!
Edit: Found out that there is gonna be a second season and there is a character trailer! Yayy I'm so eggcited! Also, I finished reading the novel :) I wonder how they will animate or change some of the parts. I am thrilled none the less <3
