bittersweet

Oh dear... watching this drama was like a roller coaster of emotions. Actually I really do hate sad endings like this one, but in my opinion it would just get worse if they would have a happy ending.

Let’s start with the story. This one was an excellent tragedy. Weird to say it like that, but I actually really liked it. Revenge and love are two things that should never be mixed, but the main character wanted both. That’s where everything starts. The summary here doesn’t even give information about what happens in the first 15 episodes, so it confused me a little bit when they brought up the marriage thing between them. Their marriage in Dan Chi, Gu Xiao Wu’s/Li Cheng Yin’s plan to get revenge and the river of forgetting weren’t even mentioned, although they’re the most important plots in the whole story. The marriage in Li comes after. Little bit confusing, but it’s easy to understand when you watch the first episodes.

The characters were interesting. They had depth and that was important to me. Cheng Yin is a cold blooded and manipulative person, but at the same time he could also be sweet and nice. A very dangerous and complicated character in my eyes. I really felt for Xiao Feng, she suffered so much. Losing her family, being betrayed by the love of her life, forgetting everything and marrying someone from another county, then remembering everything and just finding a solution by killing herself. That’s her, at the beginning a happy, carefree 15-year-old who turned lifeless and depressed very fast. She didn’t deserve what she got.
The other characters also fit in, nobody but this Sese girl was unnecessary. I didn’t really understood why she was even a love interest, they didn’t need to add her character, even if she wasn’t as annoying as some other concubines.

The OSTs are perfect, really like the main OST and still listening to it.

Overall, the drama is heart wrenching, you will probably shed many tears but it’s still worth it. Even I as a tragedy-hater loved this drama, pretty sure I’m gonna rewatch some of the episodes.
