Story started off really exciting, but slowly started to drag throughout the middle, but it ended with an exciting ending. Really high praise for the casting. Huang Xiao Ming and Joe Chen has such wonderful chemistry!!! I hope they can work together more in the future. The casting for the other characters were amazing too, TangHai, ShiHao, YinMingZhu, the Xiang brothers, and ESPECIALLY QianTian. He played an amazing villain. I didn't really pay attention to the music lol I probably will rewatch it again but that's just because I want to see the scenes with Huang Xiao Ming and Joe Chen ^-^ Overall good drama. Cruel Romance is the perfect name for it.
