Good Story, So-So Romance
If you're a big fan of romance, on a scale of icy to scorching hot - I give this one a lukewarm.
Cheng Lei is gorgeous and does a really wonderful job with his character's emotion throughout the show. This was my first time watching the popular Bai Lu. Her character's story is amazing and I was glued to the screen to find out what exactly was going on with her. Too bad the actress didn't portray her well. It was a super flat performance. I'll give BL another chance though. Maybe it was just this drama where she falls a little flat? She was just so one-note the entire time.
The ending was a little lack-luster, as well as the OST. Sometimes the music sounded like it came from an 80's sitcom or a Lifetime movie. Weird. I'm giving this one an overall 8 though just for the story which kept me guessing through Ep what - 32? And Chen Lei who did an amazing job. Bonus points for that little cutie Lin Muran. That kid is GOING places!!
