Boring
I have a strange feeling about this series—it's good, yet boring. I had to literally force myself to finish the episodes.
Watching Chinese dramas always leaves me with one question: why is the female lead almost always written as so selfish? Why don't I ever see a satisfying, balanced dynamic of mutual giving between both leads? Why is it always the male lead giving, giving, and giving endlessly? Watching this dynamic genuinely makes me feel uncomfortable. I don't deny that she eventually gave back and helped in the end, but I'm speaking generally here.
I finished the series a while ago, and now as I try to write this review, I barely remember it—which is proof that this show will not be memorable or stand the test of time.
Another point is that the overall vibe of the show was so gloomy and depressing, it kept forcing me to constantly pause and resume watching later on.
