Stockholm syndrome? Really?
This drama is very dangerous for young girls to watch. The main female protagonist might have Stockholm syndrome to fall in love with her perpetrator. In real life, the psychopathic people will not change their personality easily, and it is rare for them to have real love. Generally, I could see many main male protagonists in Chinese dramas got narcissistic personality trait, but in Love of Nirvana and Fated Hearts, the main male roles are worse than narcissism. The personality is psychopathy.
You could read this article, "Unwanted personal contact and risky situations in ten Disney animated feature films" written by Wendy E Hovdestad, David Hubka, and Lil Tonmyr. In old Disney films, main female protagonist only aware of the unwanted contact by non-attractive male characters, while they allowed attractive male character to touch them. In Love of Nirvana, things are worse than interpersonal contact, because it is the attempt to murder.
In fact, I watched this show for Jeremy Xu, but his role in this drama is not interesting at all. The characteristics of the character are just like general male lead stereotype, like, hold still a lot, emotionless, no sense of humor, seem to be dictative. Jeremy Xu has higher talent and skills than the stereotyped ML role, unlike most famous Chinese actors, who act similarly in all dramas they got cast.
