this was on netflix so i decided to watch it! binged all eps in 3-4 days time lol. definitely a solid 9 for me!

there were many touching moments in the drama and personally, my fav couple was hao du and leyan. I hated that their first love line was in one of the first 5 eps and the next was 20+ eps away lol. And when leyan was lost, they did not show much on leyan or haodu but rather scenes less than 5 mins showing that haodu was finding her. This was quite sad cuz i do think their story deserves to be well developed in the earlier scenes. ok but they focus on the couple more in the later scenes so im cool. anyway just gotta give props to the team for casting zhao lusi and yu ning as leyan and hao du respectively. They look so good together. Does anyone here thinks hao du looks like wang yi bo in some angles too? or is it just me haha

The main couple!! super sweet! i didn’t realised leo wu was so much younger than dilereba and that probably answers for the lack of romantic scenes. I was expecting a proper kiss but all he gave was a peck hahaaha and another scene showing their lips nearing but damn no kiss :<

Talking about acting, delireba (li chang ge) amazed me. She portrayed her character very well. you could see that she was trying her best to show the emotions needed throughout the whole drama. Being pretty on screen wasn’t her priority. I’m just stating this because many other ancient cdramas i’ve watched have FL trying so hard to look good in every scenes, even crying scenes and that got me rolling my eyes. Delireba is different. you can see she really wants to do the best for the project she has taken on.

Leo wu (ah sun) is so handsome. I admit he does look like a softie at most times when he’s supposed to look tough all time. But that’s what makes him unique. A character appearing tough, yet soft for his loved ones. For that, he was definitely one of my fav characters in the show.

Anyway, give this drama a try. you won’t regret.
