This show has been widely overlooked by MDLers and other drama watchers in international spaces despite being utterly—if you'll excuse the pun—thrilling to watch, whether week to week or all at once. The acting is so good that it genuinely boggled and continues to boggle my mind. I must devote special praise for the male and female leads as Liu Guan Ting depicts a scumbag you cannot help but root for while Wang Ching brings life, subtlety, and strength to his long-suffering long-term girlfriend. This isn't the sort of show I would normally choose to watch, but even several months on, I'm so glad that I did.
