wanted to convey my thoughts...I went through a whole rollercoaster of emotions with this one..there were moments I was giggling away like a child, swooning at my screen then there were moments where I was bawling my eyes out..there were episodes where I was at the edge of my seat and characters whom I literally wanted to get into the screen and smack..but what made this show extra special for me was d FL..yes the ML is all hot and prideful and genius and everything but Zhu Yun stole the show for me...the determination she had for a girl who who looked timid and innocent and was not to forget privileged... the way she was ready to bear and sacrifice anything for the love she had for a man whom she mentally considered her King is the kind of unconditional love I wish to have for someone one day...Li Xun wouldn't have been himself or wouldn't have achieved what he deserved if it weren't for this woman standing by him ready to go through any lengths for him..in the process she nearly destroyed herself ( which I don't condone) but I tried understanding from her perspective and then I could see why she was ready to do anything for this man who basically changed her whole life and made her into a far more independent and capable person than she herself thought she was !!
Like others I don't hate Gao's character because he was not an evil person intrinsically but he had such an inferiority complex that he let everything good about him get ruined just to prove to this one man who had unintentionally made him feel inferior that he too could be as capable as him !!
A beautiful and epic love story with very rich and complex characters and a soul stirring OST!! 10/10
