Yan Zi Xian looking smoldering hot in a suit is all I need.

I started this drama because of Yan Zi Xian and stayed for him. He was really hot in here, but sadly his female lead pales in comparison. I felt like the director wanted someone looking exotic/seductress for the FL, but the FL actress was nothing like that and instead I kept getting distracted by her looking plastic and old, and actually having more of the villian look.

The good things.
1) Yang Zi Xian is hot in his suit!
2) The leads definitely had chemistry together. They made me believe that they were a couple. It was like, "Damn, I wish I was the FL!" because of the way how ML looked at her.

The bad things.
1) The leads already knew eachother and were an item so there were no hype or anticipation towards the falling in love part.
2) The ML does warn off the 2nd FL about FL, yet at times, he seems affected by her and choose her over FL though not intentional, but still...
3) It got boring when ML found out about FL's revenge and started his opium crack. I kept waiting for something to angst up their relationship and improve it, but it just went flatline out.
4) IDK how FL started her own mental cover up story when she already thought ML was the culprit and stabbed him. They never got a chance to talk it out.
5) IDK how the villian came to be like how he was or obsessed. It was weird. No conclusion on this part. I feel like they just wrote the villian's character because they needed one.

All in all, it was a pretty mediocre drama with some enjoyable scenes, but it also had its flaws.
