I have this love for dark dramas and that's when i stumbled upon this drama and i jumped around in glee..:D The plotline sounds very unusual because love is supposed to change you in a good way and not to consume you like it does in this drama.I liked the plot and didnt find it draggy at all and it was pretty addicting since i finished it in 2 days.i love cliches if they are not overdone and too over the top and this felt right.It does become mellow in between but thats okay.Offcourse you wont find any laughs here.Its intense,dark,twisted and full of drama. Much of the story in the starting episodes is given in flashbacks and therefore was interesting to watch as the writer gave few links at a time letting us form our own theories. Xia Mo is unlike other heroines and you would have a hard time liking her.She's the perfect sister,perfect friend but when it comes to love she is the most cruelest person you'l come across.I can hardly believe that the novelist from whose novel this drama is adapted could come up with such a twisted heroine.She was the perfect heroine with whom i had Love\Hate relationship throughout the drama.I can sympathize with many decisions she makes throughout the drama but that doesnt mean i agree with her.She's a complicated heroine and probably the coldest of them all.As Luo Xi constantly says her heart is made of ice and i agree.Wherever love for a man is concerned she has no heart and that is why it is so frustating to see 2 awesome guys fighting over this girl.For her the most important of them all is her brother Yin Cheng and she sees nothing else beside this guy.Frustrating and irritating because i know family is important but that doesnt mean you have to hurt and almost kill others for the sake of just one person.I understand her obsessional love for her brother but it was just too much for me.Barbie was wonderful in the acting department here because she could be kind hearted to her friends when the next moment she could coldly reject any of the guys. Luo Xi is the perfect flirt in the starting but as the story unfolds we see he has much substance if we care to look beneath the surface.He's warm,caring and kind but he does have a cruel streak to himself too which i heartily ignore becuase this guy has so much tendency to love.hwang Xiao Ming as Luo Xi was a treat to watch.His acting is marvellous becuse most of the time he's smiling but when you look close that smile is sometimes sad,sarcastic,happy or simply heartbreaking Ou Chen is the type of guy we should be beware of.He's powerful,controlling and slightly cruel but when it comes to love he isnt much better than the others.Peter Ho does justice to his role because whatever Ou Chen feels the viewer can too.He's not complicated because when it comes down to it he really does love Xia Mo to the depths of the world and does much in the drama to convince us that he does I never switched ships in my life as much as i did in this drama.One second i was shoutning Ou Chen and the next it would be Luo Xi and again il switch back to Ou Chen and there my ship kept on floating hither tither.Till the last second of the last episode i still wondered who she should end up with becuase frankly whichever guy she chose i would have loved it anyway because both of them loved her unconditionally and wholeheartedly but i guess the best man wins so i was happy with the ending.Though il never be convinced of the fact that Xia Mo actually loved any of the guys.She was too selfish for me and i wished she was more kind and loving becuase really those 2 guys yearn for so much love.I think she doesnt deserve these 2 guys love because she never reciprocated it to the extent the 2 guys did but still they did make for an unforgettable love triangle You'l see abandonment issues,daddy issues and mommy issues flying around and trust me you haven't seen such heart breaking characters as this one.all the three protagonists are so broken and so screwed up you will be glad you are not them.What the 2 guys feel for the girl is so intense that i was blown away.Barbie has awesome chemistry with both the leads.Equal sreentime is given to both of them that its hard to understand who's the main guy.Stay away from spoilers because its rare when we don't know who the heroine will end up with..:D The music was nothing special but didnt get irritating to listen too.set the tone right and was good enough watch it if you love dark dramas or guys whose love for the heroine is unforgettable or simply for the good chemistry.. ;)
