About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a goofy, high-energy period rom-com full of misunderstandings, slapstick fights, and musical bits; Not for you if you dislike nonsense humor or thin plots like in Forbidden City Cop.
Pros: charming romantic comedy; lots of gags; playful genre mash-up | Cons: very silly tone; uneven humor; plot feels patchy
