Drama Digest

After a landslide accident, a brilliant major in archaeology student accidentally traveled back in time. She reached the era of the Tian Shi kingdom, one of the most flourishing kingdoms of the bygone era. Before she could understand her surroundings, she encountered spies who wanted her dead. At this point, she had two things to do: survive in an unknown land and find a way back home. Soon, she encountered the Pottery Master, who explained the situation she was currently facing. However, her circumstances became worse when the master saw her killing one of the spies, though accidentally. Believing she is one of the spies, the master decides to keep a close tab on her. To do so, he got her enrolled in his pottery class. However, soon things started changing between them.

 The Feel-Good Part

The short duration of the episodes makes the viewers curious about the continuity of the story. The sweet yet stubborn chemistry between the lead pair, the beautiful locations, the stunning backdrop of the story, and an apt picturization of the bygone era make this series worthwhile and a treat to watch.

 The Disappointing Factor

The plot of the series feels cliched at times which adds to the lack of interest among the viewers. The shift from the present to the Tian Shi kingdom’s era felt rushed and abrupt. The makers missed their mark in making it more convinced and larger-than-life. Additionally, the series’ final episode felt wacky and rushed. Therefore, it could have been avoided.

 In-Depth Analysis

The Chinese mini-drama series stars Du Yu Chen and Li Ming Yuan as Ho Su Su, the student majoring in archaeology, and Song Yi Chen, the pottery master in the Tian Shi kingdom. Set in the backdrop of the once flourishing Tian Shi kingdom, the story revolves around an unusual yet exciting and visually enticing love story of an archaeology student of the present and the famous pottery master of the past. This romantic-fantasy mini-drama series is like a breath of fresh air, for its light-hearted humor and sweet and subtle love story make it a treat to watch.

 Star Power

Du Yu Chen as the shocked and confused archaeology student turned on her charm in all her scenes and looked stunning in them. The diversity of expressions and her actions in intense situation proves her mettle as an actor. Li Ming Yuan as the pottery master looks charming, and her banter with Ho Su Su is a treat to watch on screen. He plays his part with utmost conviction and shows his potential as a  rising star in the industry. The rest of the cast played their roles very well and added significant input to the show’s narrative.

 Overall Opinion

Spoil My Potter Girl is a delightful watch with a perfect mix of romance, drama, and comedy, with an added twist of fantasy. For people who love romantic shows and want something other than the ordinary, this show could be on your watchlist. The visually endearing locations, the chemistry between the lead cast, and capturing storyline masked with stunning visuals make the series worth your time.
