I don't know why the ratings are so low here. However, I enjoyed this drama. It was a beautiful story of love during a time we could only read about or hear stories from our elders.
I don't know what else to say other than that it was truly beautiful. To watch Xiao Chun Sheng face setbacks with family, love and career. Then he manages to get it right somehow in a way that's relatable to viewers, which was remarkably done.

Every side story from the supporting cast was very real and raw. From inferiority complex, betrayal of friends, career struggles, loss of family, and divorce to jealousy and domestic v. These are things that happen in real-life circumstances, and most of us have witnessed or experienced at least one of these things.

I think the writers, cast, crew, and directors deserve a round of applause. They went back in time and captured the beauty in the ugliness that life will throw at us.

The actors did a phenomenal job of betraying their characters. I felt like I knew each character personally. Their moods, characteristics, and personalities came through very clearly. They communicated what was needed to the viewers in my opinion. This entire cast needs a nomination from the best support to the best lead.
