I've rewatched this several times

Well. Lets begin with the slightly different feel of the drama itself. It definitely nately has a more...action-y (?) feel. The male lead is not the pretty 'flower boy' type in that he has much more of a typically masculine vibe.(don't get me wrong - flower boys are amazing as well!). His character was supposed to be secretive and guarded, while also having his metaphorical walls broken down by FL.

Female lead plays her role well, especially after a few episodes when past circumstances arise. She is the normal character placed in the middle of a very dangerous story, so i think its normal for her to balk at times, as well as being strong and independant when need be.

The chemistry between the leads was intriguing. It's clear that the ML and FL were on the same page with their acting in scenes togwther, and even can be seen smirking at each other at times (which i found sweet!) As stated above, both leads played their characters well.

This drama was extremely refreshing. The suspenseful feel of the show really adds to the difference between this and other recent dramas.

Wow, just wow

Well, this drama was an experience. I was a little unsure of it at first as it seemed very melodramatic and I wasn't sure if melodrama was what I wanted to watch. Regardless, I decided to give this drama a fair shake and watch some and to my surprise, fell in love with it!

The storyline was interesting, with the Male lead being visually impaired as well as very damaged. There were specks of the heart of gold buried under the dust of hardship, and I fell in love with ML very quickly. Evan Lin, despite being new to acting did a phenomenal job of portraying someone who is visually impaired and i am very looking forward to his next drama. His deep, raspy voice is to die for and that singing voice? Talent personified.

Wan Peng was as good as she always is (I'll be honest, she was part of the reason I began watching after seeing her in First Romace with Riley Wang) and protrayed the role of an upbeat psychology major working at a radio station. Her microexpressions were mostly on point, and she truly brought her character to life.

Xiao Lu, ML's aunt/caregiver(?) Is also really sweet and added to the story as a support for both leads. She never pushed them into anything and allowedthe two to find their own pace while she looked on. Its heart warming to see how much she wanted the leads to be together as she knew how happy they were.

The start of the second half feels slightly disconnected story-wise, but the two leads kept me watching (thankfully) as we see them progress into marriage and then a parenthood. Ending felt a little rushed, but that could be me wanting the story to continue on even further. All in all, an amazing drama. I have been rewatching over and over. Would definately recommend for anyone wanting a different story, sweet moments between the leads and a slight bit of melodrama/angst.
