Despite a couple of loopholes, this was a very sweet (and sometimes very touching) story. The actors did a good job, and there was definitely chemistry between the ML (very swoon-worthy) and FL (she has beautiful, expressive eyes). Liked the other couples also - but sorry that FL's maid and ML's brother were not around. I guess they have the 'next life'.

The story was simple, but the characters were a little more complex and well-played by the actors. The ML was really great playing the cynical, stoic hero - but he could still portray his emotions all over his pretty face. When he cried, I cried too. He didn't back down from telling it like it was (loved the wedding night brush-off to Na Xi)

I would have given this series a higher rating if the bonus episode had been as good in production as the rest of the series, but it looked like it was thrown together as an afterthought - an afterthought that needed a lot more flow and explanation. This episode (36) made the whole series so much more rewarding for the viewers. Although episode 35 was also an appropriate ending, it had me bawling on my seat and aching my heart out for the ML. Either way, I would have liked the story.

This is a nice change from the backstabbing, intrigue, and drawn-out drama of some series. Again, this was just a very sweet story.
