I had put this drama at the back burner for awhile now and when i ran out tears from watching historical hearth breaking Kdramas, I picked it up to revive my heart and heal my shattered emotions.I always keep Zhao Lusi's work safe in a corner and watch when i need motivation and a few laughs cos this girl can give you hope with her talent and her mental dialogues.If you watch her drama just know that you will be watching another drama inside the drama,Zhao lusi make up her own side dialogues,you will have hard time differentiating the real vs the acting,she a natural,am sure directors and script writers often agree with her additional input.
Another reason I hadnt watched HL was because I tend to stay away from over hyped dramas but Zhao Lusi made me break my strike cos i knew whatever she touched would be gold.
Now I understood why people loved it soo hard,I found myself scrolling the BTS for one hour just because i couldnt move on from it.The acting for all that were involved was top notch,the was few complexities but they didnt last long and the ML back story was the only thing that brought few drops to my eyes and to see someone going though this pain but pushing through was amazing..And him meeting the FL character and learning to love and be loved again isnt what we all thrive for?The siblings relationship was the best in all Cdramas.
The OST that accompanied these moments was wow,the only thing I love about Netflix picked shows is that the music will be fire like the chemistry between these two leads.Am old enough to know better but i found myself having to need air and oxygen cos wow,the stares themselves would melt the iceberg.. They knew how to do it,especially the ML...this man is the king of deep stares.
To future viewers go ahead and be fluffed by this well acted young love without cliches
