Engaging, steamy and emotional
Wow! What a ride! I just finished the last episode and I can confidently say I will remember this drama for a long time.
What I loved:
- I followed the discussions on this series across several social media and it had so many people engaging with the story and the characters. The arguments were so contradictory and I found myself straying from my own real life principles when judging the characters. I think the writers did an exceptional job in creating two very flawed individuals who were so loveable at the same time: "You don't need to be perfect to be worthy of love" - the show's tagline summarized what the story was about.
- Jing Bo Ran - my goodness! What an actor! Microexpressions, high fashion, puppy eyes! I can't choose what I loved most about Luke. He was my favorite character and I kept finding myself rooting for him, even though we were supposed to hate him.
- Sun Qian - she was so efortlessly beautiful, frustrating and sweet at the same time. I didn't always understand Flora's motivations and inner world, but I was so proud of her grit and growth.
- The pairing - they chemistry was off the charts for me, those small touches and gestures they exchanged were so well done, kudos to the intimacy coordinator for giving us enough spice and keeping it classy at the same time.
What could have been better:
- the episode cut from 32 to 24 episodes. We needed those extra 8 episodes.
Overall: LOVED IT! I will need some days to recover from it, I will miss it. Please watch it, if you like realistic character/couple driven series.
