To Producers, the two of them couldn’t be more drastically different voice actors.
One of them had an easy-going personality, was eloquent with his way of words and hard to pin down. While the other was aloof, hiding in the safety of the tall walls he built and was difficult to read.
In a clash of voices, the real interaction between them had only just begun.
i know that this novel felt heavy based from the trigger warnings above, and it does sometimes, but i swear, this mostly has sweetness and wholesomeness that makes me grin from ear to ear, albeit having some bits of painful angst sprinkled in it. this is more of a healing novel and a pretty good one.
what i loved the most about this novel is the healthy relationship between qing ji and shen yan. no unnecessary miscommunication, misunderstanding and toxicity. they're both precious human being that needs to be protected at all cost! two of the greenest flags i've ever read!! both of them struggled from their own trauma and they find the comfort and healing that they needed from each other. despite their own pain, they both have an incredible personality but still feel realistic. i loved how they handled their own 'ghosts from the past' and how they overcame it. saying that they're perfect for each other is probably an understatement.
this also has some satisfying 'face-slapping' moments that i thoroughly enjoyed. i also loved the heartwarming friendship dynamic among the characters. though it appeared almost halfway through the novel, but it's there and it's so good to see. the side characters have their own charm too and they added their own flavor to the story.
objectively, this novel is not perfect and it has its own flaws, but i actually really loved this from the bottom of my heart and i would highly recommend this to literally anyone despite the trigger warnings.
