Honestly, I watched because of the romance. The romance part of the story was well done. The progression of the relationship, the development of feelings, the forthrightness of the main leads, and the protective male lead made this very enjoyable for me. The plot as well kept me engaged... for a while. Honestly, after episode 24 I skipped a lot. the plot was getting deeper but not better, the characters (except ZZ and XCH) got a little annoying. Even the female lead begun to annoy me - If you watch it you'll understand why. The relationship devolvement in ep 30 on was a deal breaker for me and my real problem, so that contributed to my ratings. I like strong consistent romance. It did have a happy ending if anyone wants to know. For Chinese drama, I go for the romance and not the plot so please take this review with a grain of salt. This drama was about a damsel in distress (spunky though) with a protective lover. The script made her seem incompetent to give him the chance to be the hero and to be more manly in front of her. But he was devoted from beginning to end so I enjoyed all the examples of that. Honestly, this was one of the best romance I've seen in a while (until Ep 30 and beyond ep 37), but the plot was horrible. Lucky thing I wasn't in it for the plot. Warning: Possessive male lead who's so obsessive, he's only good in a fiction and never in real life. Which I love. Acting: Wonderful acting by all. All, I tell you. The supporting cast gave you feels - whether you hated them or loved them, they made you feel something. Music - Didn't really notice... except for a few 1930s music performed in the show. Those were good. Rewatch: Yes, I will rewatch the meeting scene, and various romance scenes.
