Its been 2 hours since I have finished watching this drama completely and still struggling to find appropriate words in my vocabulary to best describe this drama, if I say it was splendid then i am under praising it.
This show is more than Splendid.
I saw the trailer of this show maybe a year ago, but nothing much stood out when the trailer first came out. Just that the ML is blind and nothing special stood out in the trailer, but there was something about this drama which made me keep checking its on-air schedule date every month. I cannot describe in words that pull this drama had from the beginning.
This drama touched on very sensitive topics like one of disabilities which is visual disability, autism, delusion. Writer has very smartly incorporated these things in the show.
Whenever a normal person sees a blind guy, he usually tend to show pity because they cannot see the world and it sort a makes them handicap. But in this show they have showed even Blind people can live normally in this society but its just that they see stuff through their ears and nose (sense of smell). " They don't need our pity, all they ask is to treat them as equals". what a beautiful message.
About acting: A BIG BIG BIG BIG SUPER BIG SHOUT OUT TO THE ML of the drama Evan Lin. Man oh Man this guy can act, sing, and also looks super dashing on the screen. His visual stand is just out of this world. I kept thinking why such a talented man, who is so good looking made his television debut so late. I guess he was waiting for the right script or this script chose him i dont know, but i want to assume its fated that he had to portray Su Nian Qin. I cannot imagine any other actor as Su Nian Qin. He is so so convincing as the blind person in the 1st half of the drama. I mean even blind person can be short tempered, can show tantrums because why not even they are normal human being. This guy has shown all the emotions so effortlessly that i couldn't believe that this is his 1st drama. This guy is going to sore high and definitely has a very bright future and I am going to watch every single drama of his in the future.
I am not a fan of Wan Peng because all her other drama characters have certain pattern and I was afraid even this character of hers will behave the same and I was right, it happened. But, i guess later they have justified why she behaved in a certain way. So there are no loose ends in this drama. She has done a decent job.
Music: Oh god!!! OSTs are just mesmerizing. Every song has a meaning, reason and the timing it is played in the drama. Cherry on top is most of the songs are sung by our ML himself.
He is good on eyes and ears. Also, he gets dimples on both the cheeks what more can a fan ask for. This guy is just perfect. I cannot stop myself from going on and on about Evan.
Whoever sees this comment and whenever that maybe just drop your other dramas and watch this, you will not be disappointed.
