Loved it!

I will not embarass myself with writing praise after praise after prasie. But they, all of them, the creators of this work deserve it.
It was a joy to watch, fast paced, entertaining, consistent, with beautiful acting and superb cinematography. A joy to watch all around. So, give it a try, for I will not give you the spoilers.

Series personal review

IQIYI Paid Subscription

Since I am not done watching this series, I will reserve editing this review after I complete the series. For now, my thoughts on this series:

I added this to my watch list due to their interesting promotion of it.
●The story started in a slow pace but it has something (maybe charm?) that kept my interest.
●Few times, I got confused and didnt understand what was going on causing me to backtrack few episodes and rewatched them again. I realized this is not the kind of series I can watch a few episodes, set aside to watch another series and then return to. It is a series wherein you truly need to focus and pay attention to fully enjoy the series. It will hook you like being hooked on solving a puzzle. It has a complicated story that kept me interested. There are a lot of twists and turns that are interconnected. Most times when I thought the mystery or situation was solved, it will show that it is connected to a bigger mystery or situation. It seems like a roller coaster.
●Excellent artists doing excellent work. Each character was portrayed convincingly. Chemistry between artists is good. The acting of all casts are superb.
●Director Yau showed his talent in creating an enjoyable series from a novel that is pure drama. His work with Mirror: Twin Cities is good but I think this series truly showed his talent in directing. His idea of focusing on actors facial expressions especially the eyes, fit perfectly to explain scenes with deceit and tricks. A viewer can understand and read the scene without words.
●cinematography is effective and smart. The use of lighting at proper scenes and adding blurred esthetic to give the notion of memories or thoughts were done perfectly.

I'm so done with C-Romance-Dramas

All in all a really decent show. Amazing OST, great acting all around, nice intriguing story but these retards just can't get the romance right.

I don't know what it is, is it a subtle feminist propaganda or what but it seems that the women are exempt from all responsibility when it comes to romance. Yun Xiang betrays his friends, he apologizes, but when she betrays him, the creators are close to making him getting on his knees and apologizing to her. What happened to common sense?

So done with this drivel and this propaganda that is tearing apart the western world. Such a shame it found its way into east as well. Or maybe it's always been there and I'm just more sensitive to it now.

I mean it goes both ways but seems to be more slanted towards women.

הגאון

דרמה בין הטובות ביותר שצפיתי, שחקנים מהשורה הראשונה, אמינים, סיפור מתוחכם ומיוחד , דרמה לא שיגרתית עם קו סיפור ידוע מראש, סיפור מיוחד, תחבולות ועורמה, שכל ואמונה והמון נאמנות ואהבה .. שווה כל שניה לצפיה. אני ממליצה מאוד עם כל ליבי.

mükemmel bir dizi

son yıllarda izlediğim en iyi çin dramalarından biri aynı yapıyı koruyarak aynı zevkle 2, sezon da olursa seyredilir gerek müzikleri gerek konusu gerek oyuncu seçimi benim için harika seyrederken çok zevk aldım ikinci kez seyrederim dediğim dizilerden biri eğer 2, sezon olursa kadroda değişiklik yapmadan diziyi çekerlerse güzel olur... umarım çin dramlarında bu tarz dizilere daha çok yer verirler.... başroldeki erkek oyuncunun diğer dizilerini de izledim benim kişisel görüşüm ona tek yakışan dizi bu olmuş ....
