I liked this drama overall (I haven't watched any of the other adaptions) simply because the plot was new to me. I also really enjoyed Xing Zhao Lin and Liang Jie's performances. They're both good actors and they have good chemistry. I don't feel like writing a super in-depth review, so here's my hot take. The angst it too spread out. This drama would have flowed much better if there were 20 episodes or less. While it was well cast and the performances were exemplary, the ending was way to abrupt for how long (in drama time and episodes) they spent pining over each other. That's more of an issue with the writing though. All it all it was okay. I'm glad I watched it, but I probably won't rewatch over watching something else.
