This is undoubtedly the best modern Chinese drama this year!

Everything about this drama was just perfect and addicting. This drama got me hooked from the beginning because it has a very unique, heartwarming, and realistic story. It was beautifully written, fascinating, and well-executed. It wasn't even sluggish or rushed in any way. This is the only drama this year that gives me goosebumps and too many butterflies! Su Nianqin and Sang Wuyan's love story is so beautiful and unforgettable; I love how they overcome different obstacles in life and never give up on one other until the end. This is unlike any other Chinese drama I've seen this year because it keeps me anticipating for the next episode, and every subject and scene adds to the drama's beauty; the umbrella scene under a privet tree, the little oranges, the braille couple watch, the subway scene, and Go pro scenes are just a few examples. All of it is something that you will always remember.
I also admire how this drama deals with real-life and societal issues, and sensitive subjects such as visual impairment, autism, paranoia, depression, family issues, life-altering decisions, and pursuing dreams. All of these elements have been cleverly incorporated into the show by the writer. ❤

Nowadays, when a normal person sees a blind person, he/she usually feels pity for him because they are unable to perceive the world and are thus handicapped. However, as seen in this drama, even blind people can live normally in society; it's only that they view things through their ears and nose. This drama gives us a message that "People with impairments don't want our sympathy; all they want is to be treated equally." ❤

In terms of acting abilities, Lin Yanjun and Wan Peng both nailed it! Wan Peng never disappoints with her acting performance; she consistently gives her best in all of her dramas. Her iconic facial expressions, switching of emotions, and ad-libs were always on point.
Her character as Sang Wuyan is one of the best characters I've seen in drama land. She's positive, cheerful, and too good to be true because she forgives and accepts everyone's inferiorities and imperfections. She's the type of character that can give everything just for love. I love her so much. And speaking of Lin Yanjun, he is such a big surprise! Who would have thought that this is his first-ever drama as the main lead? Like I've said before, he did such an impressive job as a newbie.
It's not simple to act blind, but this guy did an excellent job of capturing the feelings, expressions, and movements of a blind man. Wow, just wow! This man is going to be huge. ?

For chemistry, I've never felt so single until the perfect match "Su Nianqin and Sang Wuyan" couple came into my life. They acted so naturally like every move, dialogue, kiss, hug, and holding hands, were all in harmony. They are one of those rare couples that don't need any skinship or a lot of kisses to see the strong chemistry. I know most reasons why people can't easily let go of this drama is because of them. This is one of the toughest challenges I've encountered in my life as a cdrama fan, it's not easy to get out of this! I am now begging the drama directors and producers to cast them again in a drama. ?

I just wanna commend the cinematography in this drama. The switching and movements of the camera, and every detail of the shots, were just perfect. It feels like watching a classic movie. The OSTs were addicting and mesmerizing too. Every music was meticulously chosen and perfectly suited the scenes in which it was used. There isn't a single song in the OST that I hate. ❤

Overall, this drama is perfect in all aspects; the story, characters, acting, chemistry between the leads, music, and cinematography. This is the first time in my life that I had so much attachment to a drama. I guess it would take a lot of months before I finally move on.
So guys! Don't hesitate to watch this drama. Highly recommended! You will not be disappointed. ❤
