How believable is Wang Yuwen’s crossdressing?

Following the now common tale of a cold, brilliant soul and a friendly, goofy soul living in the body of one hot love interest, One and Another Him 我和两个ta looks like a dupe of a bunch of other similar dramas like Fool in Love with You^2 and Two Spirits’ Love. Zhang Zifeng (Chinatown Detective) can be a brilliant actress at times, though, so it might be good.
Xiong Ziqi plays the male lead while Liu Jianyu, Liu Yichang, and Xia Ruoyan round up the rest of the cast. I don’t know the supporting cast but they look cute.
