Tbh this drama got on my watch list becos of Bai Yu (love him in Guardian). And I am glad to have watched this, thoroughly enjoyed Fairyland Lovers! The dynamics between the main leads are well played out, the scriptwriters did a good job writing in the conflicts and love between the main leads. In some dramas we are left clueless how X and Y went from strangers/enemies to friends/lovers, but here, the development of friendships and loves are well enacted and played out. We can feel the attractions growing between the characters! This is a strong point in the writing, however I still gave the story 7/10 becos of the writing and development of the sub plots... Initially the story focused on the spirit cases, on how they helped resolved their obsessions, but changed midway and story developed in a different direction. It gives the viewers a disoriented, messy watching experience. Such as the introduction of Shen Zui. I initially thought he would become a supporting character becos of his many scenes interacting with the main leads, and that he would be brought back in the final fight. But realize at the finale that his appearance was only as a "spirit case"? Another plot hole in writing is on Lin Xia. Her introduction was as a struggling actress in financial difficulties. But after Bai Qi moved into her house, she abandoned her acting aspirations and don't need to work anymore?! Her character is not the type to ask Bai Qi for money, so where did she get the money for living expenses? Especially when she broke up with Bai Qi, she spent months at home mopping over the breakup, doing household chores and grocery shopping... where did she get the money to pay utilities, buy groceries, etc?

The drama has an excellent cast and guest stars, acting is good. Possibly the cdrama with the most guest stars this year? It is a light-hearted fantasy drama with comedy. The OST is beautiful and the songs selection at key scenes are great choices too. Love Lin Xia's guitar strumming and accostic singing scenes. My only complain is the uneven writing and plot holes. There are so many plot holes....
