A relatively new interpretation of the original tale, and I mean it in a positive way. A naive scholar Xu Xuan now becomes a new character that can be considered as a smart male lead, that can actually not passively sitting there and have the female character actively protecting and leading the story, but actively involved in development of the story. I am amazed by the acting skills of main roles, even though they are quite new and young, in film industry, as far as I know. They made their love stories so beautiful and admirable for audience to watch, and I got too deep into it that I am in love with every single glances and love moments between them, cried my heart out countless times every time they got separate apart, reunion, sacrificed for loves and friendships. Eyes contacts are perfectly well and emotionally provoke feelings from the audience. The music is absolutely beautiful, on point, and appears at right moments, and I felt hurt a lot whenever it comes. The plot is a bit too lengthy, especially for the last half, and somehow have a gradually loose interpretation toward the end. Still this is a beautiful piece of drama and I am in love with it for sure . I've rewatched thrice already, and cried my heart and eyes out every single time.
