Definitely worth watching...

This was beautifully done. I would recommend it to anyone. I gave the series a 9.5 overall, because of two factors. I needed to confirm whether I got the ending correct and the explanation that I read in My Drama List coincided with what I thought, but quite frankly it was not believable. So I would love to see how they explain it in a sequel. There were two possibilities. One was that Chu Yue killed herself at the end or that Ruyi and Ning faked their own deaths and had children. I wanted to believe the later (but frankly they were both so badly injured, there is no way, not eve through willing suspension of disbelief), because I wanted them to live and have that child. In addition, I would have liked to have seen way more passion between Ren Ru Yi and Ning Yuan Zhou. So took off .5 because of the lack of passion, and the ending was a bit squirrely.

So far, okay!

They truly went only halfway with this and the story is redundant. I'll continue to watch because its occupying time until the next really good drama comes out. In other words I can tolerate it. But one thing that is driving me crazy is the voice of the lead actress, Miaoyi Zhang. Her acting is second rate, and her voice is like chalk on a chalkboard. She talks through her nose and can't deliver a line. She is lovely to look at, but someone needs to send her to speech classes to learn how to talk properly. The acting is okay. But because of the script and directing, it is hard to tell if it is the acting that is bad, or the directing.
