SOME TINY SPOILERS !⚠️⚠️
Two burning hearts with passion for people and love, so when I say that this drama is everything I expected from it, I mean it.💖💖First of all, Hou Minghao is one of my favourite actors since LITC and this drama has been feeding me more since I started watching it. 💗💗 I absolutely love his acting in this drama. The ML was a perfect fit for him and matched his acting skills perfectly. The small, tiny sparks between the ML and the FL were everything I needed to start blushing like crazy. Every little interaction gave me butterflies and the chemistry was speaking for itself. 💞💞💞💯
Next off, the plot; genuinely so smooth. The story is a mix of betrayal, parting, passion, pain, and a deep desire to rinse the dirty court of Southern Ye. The writing is impeccable, easy to follow but full of surprises. The start was a really good drive to the whole plot and romance. I don't want to spoil alot so I'll stop there.
If I had to talk about anything negative at all, I would say that the drama should have at least had epsiodes until 29 or 30. This would have made the ending a bit more reassuring or realistic in a way. If another episode was added, it would've been cherry on top. 🍒
The OST was great, loved all fighting scenes (especially ML with bloodshot eyes AND in armor) 🤩🤩
A small little spoiler: No kisses involved and I like a good kiss but this drama was soo good to the actual point it didn't need one.
Genuinely one of the best dramas that I've waited so long for and turned out to be THIS good. Totally reccomended. ❤️❤️
Again, this drama met my expectations to the core. ☺️☺️

A very beginner level drama with top class actors
Genuinely great cast. Love it! Hwang In youp , Lee Hye Ri , Baek Sung chul, Park Ji Young and Lee Sang Yeob. I want to say that with this cast I should've expected more from the drama. But my expectations weren't at all met.The first episode left me seriously disappointed. There was something missing in the whole drama in my opinion. Most of them had a relation to emotional depth. The second chance, reunion plot needs a lot of emotion, and is hard to get right. The first episode when the leads met, the emotional weight seen at all.
The other missing thing was enough chemistry. The characters seemed like they hadn't changed at all even though half of the scenes were trying to show that they changed after 10 years. It didn't feel like "two lovers in the past reunited again". It felt like two really good besties had a falling out and one of them met each other after a week and reconciled.
Oh, yes, the reconciling part. There was a scene where Woo Su Bin started trauma dumping as to why he didn't see her for 14 days and Ju Yi Jae says "I DON'T CARE" What! What do you mean??!!!!! I was very confused cause the reason was very concerning. Ah, I don't know.
Next, during the 4th episode I think, there was a sudden kiss. I thought that the kiss could turn the emotions around but it didn't work. Had so much hope for that part.
The romance between Chae Sang Ra and Seo In Uk had so much potentianl for a nice ending and it was so beautiful, I seriously expected more from that trope. The reason Chae Sang Ra had for the break up was seriously so dumb. I don't understand why such a nice couple was broken up because of this dumb reason.
Now for the nice parts, this drama was a very beginner level drama. The reason I have so many complaints is because I had so much hope for the chemistry and emotions between the two actors.
But I liked this drama cause of the calm flow. This is a good drama for when you don't want to watch screens too much because of school work and don't want to get absorbed in it. It's best if you just want to pass time or watch something while crocheting or something.
Overall, I'll give it a solid 8. Other than that I just wished it could have been more heart warming in a way.
