A breathtakingly beautiful love story...unlike anything in a long time...a Perfect 10!
Once in a while comes a show that makes it difficult to fault anything in it, this is one of them...to say this was stunning, will be an understatement...Zelia and the entire team of this drama has set the standards so high that it will be very difficult to like anything in the next couple of months!!
BL-Needle Score: 8.5. High BL-ness
I am at a loss for words after completing this....Changyang and Qinglang, and their love language took my breath away... and then every bit of it, the script, direction, editing, the set designs, the cinematography, the music....it transports you to another world altogether!!! ...the way each frame in this show looks just perfect...seems like it was curated painstakingly ...and even though it gets a tad unsettling to see such perfection all through, it makes you realise just how much effort has gone into it....it is plain to see that the creators wanted to build a stylish, fairytale-scape and completely succeeded in that....its not that the story doesn't have its share of difficult and dark moments and that is what makes it stand out even more.....
By far, the only part in the drama that I felt was not really needed was the other junior actor ship Qi Hao and Han Lu...to me it somehow felt like they were the alter egos of a junior Qinglang and Shi Yuhao and were enacting how their earlier failed affair went...almost like a movie within a movie...maybe the director wanted to have a watermark of that earlier failed affair as a contrast to Changyang-Qinglang presently ongoing romance? Anyway, given all the other superbly done parts, I ammore than willing to let this go
This is my second Perfect 10 score on MDL after The Untamed, even though for very different reasons...I'm ina trance right now and I hope we get more ...
First it was Secrets Happened on the Litchi Island, and now this....Zelia, please give us more, because now I'm addicted!!!
