I just binged this entire series. I absolutely loved it. I was pleasantly surprised by the entire drama and highly recommend it. This was one of the few times that I literally talked to the drama the whole time. I gasped in shock, I laughed, I cried...I yelled. I was a living reaction video.
The story wasn't original, it's a theme we've seen a million times before, but it's a theme that gets us every time. The characters were complex and slid back and forth between good and evil throughout. The writers came up with characters that you could both hate and feel deep sympathy for.
The casting was interesting for me, since I've never seen any of the actors before with the exception of Chen Bo Zheng. Oh, and Shen Meng Sheng, who cameo'd towards the end of the series. The actors were fresh for me, and I think they did a wonderful job. Tammy Chen was adorkably sweet, and you quickly found yourself wishing she was your best friend. Tony Yang was a complex character who kept you guessing most of the time. Weber Yang did a great performance, making you hate him very quickly.
The music was appropriate for the scenes. There were some really lovely songs in there.
I am likely to rewatch this drama, since it was so special to me.
Overall, I rated it a 9, and highly recommend it. Watch this drama if you love evil characters. If you love deep friendships. If you love a heroine who perpetually sacrifices her own happiness for everyone else's. If you love to cry with your leads, and if you don't care if people see you talking to the screen.
