Love is a Willingness to Sacrifice
despite being the short length drama, this show truly proves that you can make a good story without missing anything. storywise, this drama is better than some of long-form dramas out there.
i’d give this a solid 10 if only they would make a clear ending for the last 2 eps and explain more about the situation. i’d like to see Chang Feng and Qian Yue hug for the last time, and she welcomes him with, “…you’re back.”
but of course, the scriptwriter and producer have their own ideas, though it’s still lacking for me and i wish it could be better like some of their previous works (A Familiar Stranger, for example).
i’m honestly not a fan of short length drama because they usually can’t captivate me with their story; either it’s too rush, too many plot holes, bad acting, poor cinematography, bad costumes, etc. but after watching this show, i feel like this drama is so much better than some of full length dramas i’ve seen with the traffic actors.
this drama hooked me since the very first episode. what i liked about this drama:
- ML and FL have a great chemistry. i love their eyes and how they love each other.
- good SML and SFL. well, SML was an anti-hero, but he slowly softened towards the SFL.
- good plot. it’s not extravagant or anything, but really a good one.
- when ML and FL cried, i cried. when SML and SFL cried, i cried too. it’s not happen often. i watched this drama after knowing the ending and getting so many spoilers, so because of that usually i wouldn’t cry when the sad scenes appear because i already know what will happen after. but in this one, i cried a lot and i’d give it applause to the actors! well done. especially SFL, i really love her and i can’t imagine what her life would be after knowing the truth in the end.
for a low budget production, this one have a beautiful cinematography, costumes, and settings. this is my most favorite short drama after A Familiar Stranger and The Deliberations of Love. i just wish they’d make a clearer ending like AFS and TDOL, but i guess i’ll just take it for what it is.
if you love those i mentioned, you’ll surely love this one as well.
