My favourite Chinese drama!

I really really enjoyed this drama. I loved the characters, the plot and the set-up and costumes.

The acting of Dilraba and Vengo Gao was stunning. They both did their characters justice. The other actors and actresses were also good. I really enjoyed the chemistry between Bai Fengjiu and Dong Hua. They are so cute together! I also enjoyed Lian Song and Chen Ling's friendship and romance. They were amazing support characters. The actors also played well in their roles.
I was just really irritated with Ji Heng. She got in between Bai Fengju and Dong Hua at a critical moment. Yan Chi Wu was a cute and comical character. I enjoyed him.

The decor, costumes and overall set-up of the drama was nice and light. It was a lot more light and softer colours than Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms. I liked it more. Also, the story of Bai Fengjiu and Dong Hua is closer to the book series than Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms. The soundtrack was amazing and I am listening to it now, as I am typing this :)
I would definitely watch this drama again!

I must that I really expected a lot out of this drama. I like this type of story-line but this particular plot-line didn't flow as smoothly as I hoped.

I really loooked forward to see Park Sung Woong in a different role other than the villian and he didn't disappoint! I loved his character, although Yeo Woon-gwang can be a brat. I loved the bromance between Yeo Woong-wang and Kim Seol-woo[. I wished there were more scenes between them. I was pleasantly surprised at Jeong Man-sik's acting and character. I loved how his character just randomly popped out of the blue with all these different identities!

I really looked forward to Park Hae-jin's character but there was just something.. missing. His acting was a bit flat at times but overall it was good. I found Kim Min-jung's character the most irritating. I tried to like the character but she was just to irritating. It felt like she was an irritating side character that was getting way too much screen time. I could sympathise with the character at certain times but it felt like the character was too underdeveloped and naive. I liked some of the romantic scenes between Kim Seol-wool and Cha Do-ha. But it sometimes felt like the romance and action scenes didn't work together as fluently.

The soundtrack was kind of a let down. The music sometimes didn't fit the scene.

That's my two cents on this drama. I really tried my hardest to like this drama, because I hate leaving a drama unfinished, but there was just too many stuff that bothered me.
