It really saddens me to give this series a low rating. I mean it has a stellar cast that can really pull off a solid 9 or more but something in the plot just didn't do justice to this drama. I'm really sad to see my fav Li Xian's latest drama not being well. After watching Tientsin Mystic(my all time fav drama so far, it even surpassed Love o2o in my personal list) and Dr.Qin I'm a bit let down.

Yes I agree that all the actors and actresses did give their best, even though some called the female lead (which is stupid, I mean come on people, what part of her is fat? I think she's perfectly thin) and that there wasn't any chemistry between the leads (Actually their interactions were the only thing that made me finished watching this drama) it was just the plot that gave away for me. This could have perfectly been a 20 episode or even less drama but god damn those flashbacks. I swear in my life I haven't seen a drama that uses so much flashbacks in my life. I blame the flashbacks for the downfall of this drama. This was honestly a drama I was seriously anticipating after seeing the first trailer and I was genuinely excited but unfortunately it just didn't live up to it. Which is sad. The saving grace was mostly the spunky female lead and the two male leads' smiles *swoon* and obviously, Li Xian for me.

Would I reccommend this drama to anyone? Unless you are a die hard fan of Li Xian of William Chan, nope, most definitely not.
