Before anything else, I wanna tell people to watch out and bear on how this story revolves around the calm, almost expressionless and inexpressive yet loving ML and the way it became more complicated because of his mistrust and overprotective treatment for the FL.

At this point, I guess i'm just glad that this drama was concluded with a happy ending despite all the excruciating and frustrating scenes it has. The amount of dark and grim energy I've accumulated from this show is unexpectedly great that I was extremely irritated at some point. >< So please take a 'bearing pill' before starting this drama. Hahaha!

Honestly, this drama overall is really good but unfortunately ruined by 3 major things— 1st, Overly mismanaged characters, 2nd is the extreme display of favoritism for the ML and 3rd, actual purpose for the 2nd ML.

× For some reason a lot of supposed relevant supporting characters tends to be missing whenever they're most needed to. Like, there are countless segments where the most crucial people are absent and god knows why did the writer and producer exclude them there when they're supposedly relevant in those scenes... and these occurences happened because of their immense greed of making the plot more substancial and complicated.

× This productions obsession with the ML is what probably ruined it for me— their undying love and greed to justify the ML made me role my eyes tons of times and even got me to the point where I'm simply sick of it all. He's 'hot & cold' and loves doing the 'push & pull' act without even explaining even the tiniest bit to the FL and he's expecting her to understand him. Like how? Man!! You deserved to be demoted as the 2nd ML in all honesty.

× The lack of actual purpose and usage for the 2nd ML felt so unfair and ridiculous. Like, I expected him to do some stunts to win the FL because that's his supposed 'role' but he's rather a mess. The 1st half of this drama did him dirty and it's really disgusting. Instead of being a reliable support he started off as a menace— stubborn and quite immature then gradually became an emotional mess... Huh! He need some serious justice right there. ><"

× Last but not the least is how hypocrite of a character Zao Yan Xi is. He hated the FL a lot for 'hurting' the ML when he tolerated the woman he loves even when she killed countless of people just to keep her father safe. The most deserving death of this whole drama I would say. Hahaha!

Anyways, moving away from the negative side... This drama got a lot of good qualities as well, most specifically the amazing color schemes that always blended so well with the setting. Next is the simple looking yet beautiful and eye-catching costume that was made perfect by its color shading, followed by the background and overall setting that complements the whole drama every single time and lastly, the satisfying crime and investigation cases that was made even more entertaining because of the great fighting scenes.

P.S. The 2nd ML 'Zhang Si Fan' deserved better! That guy was downplayed and played dirty throughout the entire show. Hell, he even deserved the Main Role!

Story - 9.0, Story is actually good and would've been better if only they lessen their obsession and greed to make the ML mysterious and inexpressive. It made the drama hollow, frustrating and complicated to the point where things seemed overboard several times.

Acting/Cast - 9.0, More than the acting... I highly think that this dramas excessive misused of great actors/actresses is what made me all irritated overall. Some of them were missing in the most crucial times and felt like they got no concrete direction aside from being an end game plot device. + Overall acting is good and god knows how Chen Yu Qi hard carried this show.

Music - 10, It was love at first hear. Hahaha! Seriously, I was already captivated the moment I heard the 1st BGM and I was in a complete trance upon hearing all of them. The music from this drama serenaded me from the start till the end of the show.

Rewatch Value - 8.0, I just wouldn't. I hated how I have to endure and went through all those frustrations while watching this drama. The amount of dark energy and hollow feeling it gave was enough and I don't want to go over it again. The only reason why I gave it an 8.0 is because of its happy ending and good story progression.

Overall - 9.0, This is a rating in consideration of all the positive things this story offered despite all its flaws and mishaps. Thank god they redeemed themselves and successfully bounced back at the last 6 episodes. I almost give it an 8 honestly.
