Classic love story with unique storyline

This is a love at first sight kind of romance movie, but it is delivered very well so that it appears like a unique story.

I love Zhong Dan Ni as both Fang Qi Wu and Hong Luan. She has a classic and elegant beauty paired with killer acting skills, which made her a delight to watch. The ML was also a great actor, but at times his closeups made it obvious that he had way too much foundation on his face, which kinda ruined some of the scenes for me. Anyway, it's minor mistake that didn't take away from the love story.

My only complaint is the lack of development in the FL and ML relationship. Even though they were convincing as lovers, as a viewer, I kind of had to adjust to how quickly their relationship developed in order to enjoy the romance.

Although I appreciate this not being a long drawn out drama where the leads take 35 episodes in order to finally admit they like each other, it would have been nice if they had thrown in an extra 5-10 minutes of footage where they run through the hills together or something else along those cheesy lines, just to confirm that they are in fact head over heels for each other and not just trying to play the other side for a fool in order to get revenge. I had to be suspicious because the entire plot is rushed. Although, everything wraps up nicely, this movie really should have been a minimum of 90 minutes in order to do the story justice.

Otherwise, the rest of the drama is like poetry. It's so romantic, beautiful, poignant, magical and emotionally captivating.

I highly recommend. Enjoy!
