It’s really a long ballad (just not a good ballad)

TLDR: like most ballads, it’s long and its attempt to tug your heartstrings but most of the time, it fell short, boring and bland.

Watch for your favourite actor and actress, and once you pass Leo’s best part in the middle, you can just drop it really.

Story: started ok, best part was the middle where major events happened to Leo’s character, and then it’s flat line :/

Acting: award acting to the king uncle to Chang Ge when he received the knife again, and Leo in his lost scenes. Everyone else is meh. No offend but I felt asleep with the SL CP, their story is pretty stock standard, and while their acting is suited for the characters, it’s pretty meh. The SML is the usual cold and turn super puppy once he’s in love >_> DD’s acting is ok, but her character is just so boring >_< she’s pretty but yup, they managed to make her not pretty, boring, tired and pretty meh lol. I do get her character but uh, just relax? She always so serious, it’s tiresome after 30eps lol. Also while I love Leo, he’s a bit stiff/overact in the pouting department ?

Music: it’s great, but just watch the MV, it saves you time and make you actually like the series more than watching it, watching it might just make you hate it lawl.
