Liu Shishi is so awesome here, and it's so bittersweet to see a Ruoxi-Yutan reunion, even if it was for a brief moment, and ended tragically again.
Liu Shishi really levelled up in here. While she'd never been a favourite in terms of acting, she has always had incredible poise. Combined with the confidence and command that she shows here, it's a real pleasure to watch. Particularly when compared to the plethora of young, plucky, feisty actresses/characters that populate the drama scenes. It's not a knock on those ladies, I just wish entertainment and society at large would stop being so allergic to women passed their 20s. Her character here is also mature and it's a joy to watch.
Kokuto:
I agree on the script. So many times I think the writers just need to keep it simple and cut the number of episodes. They often get lost in filling out the episode count.
They are failing to balance the artistic with the commercial side of the business. More episodes mean more money so we get these bloated dramas that dragged on endlessly. The other thing is pushing up-comers in the supporting roles, sometimes to the detriment of the central leads.
Kokuto:
I actually like watching stuff as it airs, as opposed to bingeing.
I'm the opposite. Binging is often the only way for me to finish a drama. my interest waned when I had to wait for new episodes and I just ended up not completing it.

They been so many drama doing this lately for my well-being i'm going to wait a little more but good to know it's a good one to keep on your watchlist :D >>>>
A common problem with so many CDramas. Started with a bang, only to devolve into horrible messes.
