Familiar Story Rings True

This is a familiar formula of boy who bullies his love interest because he doesn't know how to properly express his feelings or even understand them. The big plus for this series is we get to focus on our two lovers without the distraction of sub plots. The kidnapping sequence was a bit over-the-top while the scene between Din Jun Jie and his long-time female friend Meng Yao was more realistic. I thought there was going to be a love triangle with Ding Jun Jie's childhood friend Jiang Zhihao but that didn't develop. Too bad because the storyline was a bit bland and a love triangle would have made this much more interesting. Nevertheless, Jiang Zhihao's outrage at being dumped for a girl is a very real dramatic moment -- maybe the best second best scene in the piece. The ending, while tragic, also rings true and the writer does a good job of giving our heroes a hopeful future. I'm giving the music a 10 -- particularly the song used to underscore the snow montage in the final episode, which I assume is called "Buried in the Past." This snow scene is beautifully rendered and really sells the cold misery of our two lovers. Well done.
