Great story, not quite following the novel
I have read the novel and really liked it, even if I was wondering how this will be ecranised in a drama, especially in China...But the drama is more cosmetised, skipping/omitting what was dark in the novel. A lot of things are missing, but still, the trust and deep love between them are intact.
I thought 32 episodes wouldn't be enough, but I suppose Columbia's part will not be included.
Overall, it's a slow-burn love story, really atypical, with a lot of ups and downs. Love the portrayal of the 2 main actors; they are really good at immersing us in such complex characters, deeply hurt in the past, with pains that will remain for their entire lives.
Updated after finishing all episodes: really sad the Columbia part wasn't included at all; still, some quotes came from that part.
It was a great story with better potential, but due to the adaptation for the ecranization some parts were skipped and others were added (but not so catchy for me).
The main actors did a great job; love their performances, that's why I gave 9.5; still, 0.5 points are lost for missing some important parts of the novel
