This hadn't even been on my to-be-watched list. What made me watch the drama was Victoria Song. I've liked her ever since I've gotten to know f(x) and this was my first time seeing her act, and I have to say I wasn't disappointed but more on that later.
I admit that after watching the first three episodes I wasn't very motivated and considered dropping the drama. Nonetheless episode 4 somehow did it for me and I knew I wanted to keep watching it.
The plot was quite intriguing and had a really nice pace. However around episode 12-16 it starts derailing. I don't know why the writers did what they did. My biggest concern wasn't the ending but the way the story got to that point. It had been a very promising story with a slow burn romance between the main couple and an even better supporting cast, but ended up making a mess of it in the middle.
What kept me going until the end was Xiu Xian, Xiaoju and Kuanyong. They were inarguably the best thing about the drama and why I would suggest anyone to watch the drama.
Acting wise I feel like everyone did well except the actor who plays Helan Jingting.
I didn't really pay much attention to the music therefore have no opinion about whether it's good or bad.
I might rewatch the scenes with my favourite trio but as for the rest of the drama not so much.
