I felt complicated for this drama...actually I kinda feel the chemistry between the leads, it is very slow at first but as I watched more episodes, it is slowly building up as they start to care about each other. Yuan Yang is an arrogant a**hole and his character is supposed to be like that and even though the actor (Gao Ming) was kinda stiff and over the top at first, his acting is getting better in later part. Shang Bai is also doing quite a good job, he definitely has the look of the proud and elegant Gu Qing Pei.

But the reason why I gave low rating is how the story ends!! It was only 15 eps and the ending was so abrupt and just left me with the feeling "what the hell is going on? that's it??". There is no closure, no conclusion..it just ends like that. Maybe it has something to do with the China's censorship, I'm not sure about that. But it was such a pity since I believe that if given chance for longer episodes, it might actually get better.

The original novel is popular and loved by many fans, the two characters' relationship in the novel is very complicated and intense, especially Yuan Yang. He is so possessive of Gu Qing Pei, but it is very touching to see the development of their characters after they met and how they affect each other's life. If you felt disappointed with the drama, I suggest you check out the novel (it is available in English in Wattpad) to sooth your broken heart :)
