[Drama Info]

After nearly three years without a ML drama from Li Hong Yi – aside from brief cameos in Duel of Shadows, Dashing Youth, and Destiny of Love – we have two back to back dramas (this one and Flying Up Without Disturb).

There's a reunion: Yu Cheng En and Wang Zi Xuan, who starred in City of Romance.

Wrapped on October 22, 2023.
