This is definitely an unexpected gem. The English title does not do it justice and I would have missed a wonderful drama if I had taken it at face value. The leads did an excellent job. As I continued watching the drama, I found myself increasingly becoming immersed in the story and drawn to both the male leads. I've watched a decent number of dramas and this is the first drama that I've honestly liked both the leads. They are, of course, polar opposites in terms of character, but they both did such a good job that I just could not decide who should get the leading lady.
One is the cultured and upright first-born son of a rich and well-connected family, well-read, good-looking (of course), top-notch martial arts and chivalrous but mentally challenged as a result of an accident. The other is a happy and carefree leader of a sect who's looking for his childhood sweetheart. Both have wonderful personalities and are devoted to the female lead in delicious and heartwarming ways. It's all so difficult to resist! Just one note about the female lead and that is she seemed to shout and pout a lot - and I mean a lot. Ladies shouting in high pitched voices seems to be a popular thing in Chinese dramas for some reason. I can't understand it, male leads run the risk of going deaf in dramas, haha.
The supporting actors and their sub-stories weave very well into the main plot. What's most important is that the ending is well-written and satisfying. At no time did I feel as if something was missing or loose ends were not tidied up properly.
