Amazing drama with beautiful OST, you will regret not watching!

This is my first time writing a review on MDL despite being on here for years.

Firstly, as a longtime fan of Lin Yanjun, I've been waiting for this drama for almost a year! However I really wasn't sure if I could finish it as he's never acted before and I'm generally not a fan of idols acting BUT his acting performance completely proved me wrong! He was so impressive portraying Su Nianqin that I truly felt he was blind and my heart ached. His every emotion, tiny expression was clearly evoked. He worked really hard for this role and I am so proud of him! If I didn't know him beforehand, I would have thought that he's been an actor for a few years already. I've seen a couple of Wan Peng's dramas and while her characters feel similar (at least to me), she always nails it!

The plot is cliche, yet not cliche. While there are a couple of things I wish were covered more in depth in the drama and also a couple of things I want to nitpick on, it overall does a good job of showing the story (rather than telling)! The couple's story is very touching and while at times, immature, that is probably how real life is like when we fall in love (not that I have experience lol) Their chemistry was really strong and convincing, which is very impressive considering this is Lin Yanjun's debut drama!

I really like how Su Nianqin was blind because there are rarely any dramas with characters who are disabled. The drama educated me a lot about people with special needs and how sometimes what we think is best for them may not really be the best way. I hope that this is something many viewers can learn and takeaway from the drama.

The OST was perfect! I love every single OST especially the "Fall" by Wei Chen and "Forever Shine on Me" by Lin Yanjun. The filming was excellent too especially the use of closeups, which tell a deeper meaning without the characters actually saying it.

Overall, really really refreshing and unique drama, it will make you smile like an idiot but also cry in the middle of the night. I will definitely be rewatching this amazing drama again in the near future! Thank you so much to the cast and crew for such a wonderful drama <3
