Remarks

[Cast&Crew] So many familiar faces!!! Some who aren't listed: An Yue Xi, Zhou Ke Yu (idol), and Lu Zhao Hua.

Bai Lu is top billing. She's also familiar with this crew (the director Guo Hu of One and Only and the scriptwriter Yang Qian Zi of The Legends. Interestingly, this is the same scriptwriter for Xu Kai and Tang Song Yun's "upcoming" drama.) Zhou Shen, her Keep Running buddy, is singing her OST again. Lots of Bai Lu connection. 

And what a busy director. This is his third 2023 drama (Tiger and Crane, and Mysterious Lotus Casebook)

[Ending] Happy
