   The first time I saw episode 31, the second time I saw the ending all at once. The later episodes gradually had a happy ending, but it felt a bit forced in terms of pairings. It was okay.

   My initial impression was: It was alright, but I wouldn't watch it a second time. It was heartwarming but lacked a bit of passion. Perhaps it was a bit bland? Now, looking back, I don't remember the plot.

   I remember the beginning, but not the end at all. Did I not finish watching it? Watching it again now, it seems a bit childish, and the portrayal of the cute kids feels forced and unnatural.

   I followed it during its serialization, and I remember being anxious while waiting for updates, so it must have been pretty good. I saw the ending back then, but I don't remember the plot very well now.

   I don't remember the plot anymore, but I remember reading to the last few dozen chapters. It was alright, a rather bland slice-of-life story set in a bygone era.

   I read it in one sitting. The beginning was great, but the latter half was so-so, and the ending felt rushed. The epilogue was okay. It's easy for stories about children to make them seem unrealistic in order to portray their intelligence, like adults in child's clothing. This story completely avoids that; it's very well written! The children's intelligent actions are clever but also very reasonable. I initially wanted to give it 4 stars because the ending felt rushed, and some plot points weren't fully explained. However, the last sentence of the story still seemed to imply the story wasn't over. There were also some logical issues with the crime-solving, but perhaps for the sake of excitement, these were tolerable. The coincidences between the female lead and her partner in the beginning were reasonable and acceptable, especially considering the female lead is a mythical beast. But the latter half felt like the gadgets the partner brought along were forced. Overall, I'd recommend it. The depiction of the changes in Northeast China and the character portrayals are excellent, and the female lead, a cute little girl, is also portrayed superbly.

    I've watched more than half of it. Although the male lead's experience is different from mine, I inexplicably feel a sense of empathy and connection. Five stars just for that!

    I was following another novel by the same author, but waiting for updates was too agonizing, so I read her completed work instead. I finished it in one go, and it was alright. I would have liked it more if the family drama that was only partially covered had been more detailed.
