A deserving ending to both stories

The storyline isn't particularly eventful, but somehow I don't feel that the episodes are dragging. It's fascinating to watch their romance unfold, and how they deal with the ups and downs of life as a team. I was afraid that Zhou Sheng Chen's family power is going to be blown out of proportion like in the novel, but I'm surprised at how the filmmakers managed to hint at power and influence without having to show scenes of lavishing wealth. It feels like a real family, with conflicts and interactions I could totally see in real life. The scenes where Lian Sui, Lin Fei, Uncle Lin take care of Zhou Sheng Chen and Shi Yi made my heart melt as that is how family members are supposed to act around each other.

Everything else that's happening around them seems insignificant, even the supporting characters are not fully fleshed out as the whole spotlight shines on the two main characters. I think it's a good thing that they don't remember much about their past, as it was full of regrets and sadness. What's important is that they finally find each other again, and fall in love, and create another ending for their fate, and this time, a happy one.
