While I liked the simplicity of the story, mainly it was trying to show purity and innocence while coming to terms with their feelings, it was too light and at times naïve. I did like the actors chosen for each role. This didn't have the impact it should when it’s compared with shows like The On1y One.

The dubbing was part of the detraction. Everyone sounded breathless while trying to speak through a handkerchief. The final event felt a bit overdone. Why would officers ask for a full confession before he reached the station? Already arrested, move on. Why would Ye stay with bloody hands until Ke awakens hours after? Why wouldn't his sister bring a change of clothes and have him clean up? Wouldn't it be more traumatic for Ke? Why would Ke's mother bring a photo album to see her son who was just stabbed?

Han and Ming made this more enjoyable as they were more honest about their situationship.

I've said it before, you never know what you're getting out of China, no matter where it's filmed. It works for the period it was captured in but could have been better. This wasn't a bad watch as there were some good moments. Their first kiss was nicely done. Honestly, the last ep threw it off a bit with too many flashbacks. I would have loved to see Ke's mother’s feelings on their relationship.

Overall, watchable.
