So I actually really liked the leads and all the cast. It was paced well and honestly I wish there was a season 2. I think the ml is the typical guarded male who comes off and cold but in actuality is scarred by traumas in life. The fl definitely has a more sheltered upbringing but in the same respect is strong in her convictions. I think my only complaint is that I felt like Gao needed more reasons in this drama to be so angry. Perhaps it was more evident in the original story. I typically fast forward through a lot of dramas but not this one. It was also interesting in both time periods. I enjoyed the growth of everyone and I think I would definitely rewatch. Enjoy, relax and have all the appropriate feels.
