Empowering women. Great chemistry. Beautiful music.

I started watching this series out of boredom, and it managed to chase that boredom away. The story, the characters, the music—everything is so beautiful.

Every time the soundtrack played, I was moved to tears. Every time I saw how hard Mu Dan fought and how she kept fighting even when a thousand stones stood in her way, I was moved to tears.

I love the ‘women supporting women’ aspect of this drama. Seeing Mu Dan help so many women makes me incredibly happy.

I know some people find the characters flat and think they lack character development, but I don’t see it that way. Yes, the development wasn’t outstanding for most of the characters, but you also can’t forget that this is the first season.

Sheng Yi is the best example of an interesting character. Her story was an emotional rollercoaster. So well written.

As I mentioned before, the music is beautiful. Of course, that depends on the individual. I’ve read comments saying it isn’t particularly memorable, but for me personally, it was exactly the opposite.

The acting was great, especially Mu Dan’s. The male lead could have been better in some places, but he still did a good job. The chemistry between the two is also so good.

Overall, I recommend this drama a lot. Just give it a try and see if it's to your liking.

I do hope they concentrate more on the friend/family bond in the next part and show some of Mu Dan's trauma and healing process. She hasn't had many healing scenes yet.
