Such a bright smile, Ye li, in an empty room, Ye li

I truly feel such a pity to give only 6, for such a masterpiece of Ye li story, yet the pity, not to mention that Bai Lu is my fave actress, still i cannot bring myself to give any higher—The story starts strong yet fails midway, it feels like stoped in time for few episodes until it catches you on answers full of suspense! =>
But then…Onwards 35episode it again started feeling boring, and I just skipped everything. I think it was just too boring and slow for me :< I can say that I didn’t even watch it, just pure forwarding

“I felt that i dont like the slow story…It feels that something is missing. I was forwarding a-lot.” Yet still kept watching because of suspense and Bai Lu (Ye li)

The suspense is made well, the whole suspense is literally Ye li itself, more exactly her past. Without Ye li trauma, I think it would be casual romance, female driven revenge drama without anything pretty much.

——Characters—SPOILERS
Ye li and Ye Ying had my heart the whole time.
I truly felt attached to Ye li, because of her loneless. And i understand her, the hallucinations that she created out of loneless and lose…Out of harsh live in Lishan mountains yet she is cherful and full of joyment, and made-like genius character! She is one of my favourites female characters in C-drama land!

Ye li never understands that she is alone, the vivid images of people, the knowing that they just went to harvest…Her heart cannot bring herself to see the truth, and if she does she just simply forgets because its too overwhelming for her. She just shuts the brain, and lets the heart act, her delusion mind

on the other hand Ye Ying, it makes me pity her. She married a man that will never love her, no matter how much she will try. I think in the heart she also feels lonely and deceived, thats why at first she acted mean towards Ye li
Is one-sided love deemed worthless?”Ye ying
“Those with deep cravungs have shallow understanding” - Ye li

Li Fei bei and Princess Ling Yun, truly had heartwarming moments

It’s just that I don’t know what to say about Mo Xiu Yao, he also has past-story, but I didn’t felt anything for him, after all Ye li is the main point of the story.

So I want to say that, the story was just not for me, i understand people who give good ratings, I also think it deserves the rating. it’s just simply not for me, that’s why my rating is like this, I’m rating how much I enjoyed, not how good the drama is!

But I also think that the drama is a bit has too overused plot, if not the “trauma” of Ye Li, I wouldn’t like the drama not even a little bit. that’s the only special thing about this drama the mental illness, because it’s rare that mental illness is bringer into historical idol cdrama, the plot-twist was something new!
