Loved, LOVED this drama. From the first episode I fell in love with it. I was never a big fan of L’s acting nor didn’t really notice Shin Hye Sun very much but those two together in this drama was like fate. The acting was terrific and the plot line was great. Not to mention the beautiful OST and the elegant ballet scenes. It got my heart pumping during the middle of the drama not knowing how it was going to go. I poured my time and love into this show and have not regretted it one bit
The last few episodes broke my cry record, I bawled so hard and have never felt such a bittersweet moment when it ended. I plan to rewatch this for a good while and to cry again.
I HIGHLY recommend at least a first episode watch. 10/10.

I had to write a review on this drama. I really, really loved it until the remaining few episodes. I was stuck on the last two episodes for weeks because I put it off due to the rushed, poor writing and directing.
The beginning and middle of the drama, I was so reeled in and very pleased by how it was going. Shuwei and Erduo’s relationship were developing and there were many cute and interesting moments revolving around those two along with the second leads. I was so up for it until a childhood “should’ve been me” character showed up. The writing then turned a bit tacky - putting a lot of emphasis on how they were born with two different worlds. It’s as if they bit off story plots from “Boys Over Flowers” and “The Heirs.”
Don’t get me started on the ending. It was just so, so unfulfilling for such a good middle build-up. I’m upset and furious at the directors AND the writers for such horrid camera work and lazy writing. The actors were great, however I wish they emoted more and ACTUALLY SPOKE JAPANESE for the parts that were supposed to be.
