This NEEDS more seasons

I loved this drama. I loved everything about this drama. I loved Gong Xi. I loved loving Lian and I loved hating Shang.

This is such a sweet drama despite the fact that it's focus was on revenge. I wouldn't say this is a romance because the drama was too short to actually show any romance. The plot itself is more about growing up. Gong Xi starts off as a women who has been in love with the same man since childhood, Shang. They grew up together and she helped him get to fame. But she then finds out that he never really cared for her and was only using her so she seeks revenge by entering the entertainment industry where she meets Lian who helps her heal. He helped her stop hating to the point that she no longer cares for revenge. We got to see a relationship grow out of respect and admiration, I wouldn't say that it had grown to a fully romantic relationship, but it's there.

Qin is one of my favourite characters that we meet on the first episode. At first she may not seem like a nice person, but at no point does she exude any villainous characteristics, I understood why she immediately took a dislike to Gong Xi because her first impression of Gong Xi was also my first impression of her and I also felt like I can relate a lot more to Qin then any other character in this drama. Even when neither charecters liked each other, you immediately get the vibe that they will become best friends, and I loved their friendship and the overall aura that both characters presented. Gong Xi's aura is one of the biggest elements in this drama, she has a very strong aura that helps her gain fame.

I really wish this drama was longer and I wish we got to see more of Shang. I loved Shang's character, in the sense that I loved hating him. I feel like if this drama were longer, he would have grown to be a more likeable person that I might actually ship with the Gong Xi. It's a pity that he had so few scenes especially with Gong Xi. They had amazing chemistry, she had good chemistry with Lian as well, but Gong Xi and Shang's scenes after she entered the entertainment industry were either hillarious or hot. Lian and Gong Xi's scenes were more sweet.

I read that this is based of off an anime (not sure if the anime or manga came first), and the anime is complete (more so than this) so I'll probably watch it even though I don't watch anime, because this drama was that good and I NEED an ending.
