Love that transcends time

I was intrigued by the reviews of this drama being a healthy romance so I decided to give this one a try and I wasn’t disappointed.

I admired and felt the chemistry between the two leads right from the start. This couple was one of the more relatable couples that I’ve ever encountered in dramaland and I looked forward to what the new episode would bring.

However, I was wondering how this drama could be 28 episodes when their feelings progress and showcase rather quickly but I soon got my answer: prolonged drama and misunderstandings. The couple do go through trials and tribulations to be together and avoid hurting each other but thankfully, our leads managed to stick it through and that’s what I appreciated about the romance in this drama.

As for the secondary characters, I didn’t like the supporting lead couple as much as I’d hoped. I couldn’t understand Gu Xiaoman’s pull to Yi Chuan at all especially since he was severely cocky and clueless. I really didn’t understand the pairing and Gu Xiaoman definitely deserved much better. Furthermore, I didn’t care for the SML, he was too obsessive and it really made me angry at times. We also never got to understand what made him fall for our FL in the first place other than the fact that they grew up together.

Something that I wish we were able to see more of was Lin xi’s goals outside of her mothers interference and her relationship. I was happy to see Jiang Zhenghan reach his goals and recognize his potential but we never got to see Lin Xi reach towards what she really wanted or understand what her dream career goals were. It seemed like she was sort of just going with the flow and it’s assumed to be that her dream is helping Zhenghan reach his.

Despite this, I don’t regret watching the show because I got to see some really good chemistry, I watched the characters grow into better/more mature versions of themselves and most of the actors were great in their roles. I’m sad to see this show go, I was really enjoying it. All good things must come to an end.
