lascia ch'io pianga
A suspenseful romance that is short but intense.
The drama, in a nutshell: a love story between a businesswoman and an illegitimate son, inter-family power struggles and an arson case.
An excellent script, a crazy plot that's quite original in the way it unfolds, quality cinematography (so high quality that I felt like I was watching a movie), stunning actors and breathtaking chemistry: a most intense and beautiful romance. The plot is exceptional, as it swings between truth, lies, doubt and uncertainty. I haven't seen many chinese dramas, but this one is surely the shortest in the genre without being a mini drama (if you know the length of cdramas, you know what I mean), a perfect length that didn't leave me hungry after seeing the conclusion. Some of the scenes are absolutely magnificent, and you won't be disappointed until the very end (I hope...). For those of you who like to get chills while watching dramas, I've only got one thing to say: Go for it.
There's one thing I must mention: the dialogue. Some of the dialogue is so beautiful that sensitive people like me won't be able to hold back the tears.
Notes aside:
- I recommend reading the lyrics of the ending at least once as they are incredible.
- After the end of each episode, you'll be treated to just one line of dialogue as a preview, under a mysterious air with the coolest music and title screen. I think this kind of detail is important, it makes the whole thing even cooler. It lasts like 10 seconds, and that's enough to get you hyped.
- The presence of a voice-over narrator who intervenes from time to time in the course of the story, I can't say any more but that's another detail I found very cool and well done. It felt like watching a novel.
