I am really loving the complex plot of this drama, because there is no "good" or "bad" people here, just people with different thoughts and different priorities being labeled as evil and right. The one's who do nearly anything to protect the ones they love or be with them end up suffering the most and are labeled as bad. While those who don't do enough, put duty, reputation, personal gain, what's "right" without room the in-between before everything else are seemingly good with tendencies to ignore the cries for help in the dark or injustices of other houses if it might cost them something or goes against one of their "rules." So much to do about love in this show... the actors are incredible. Caicai is awesome!!! I appreciate her for defying the typical role others would've set for her and remembering Chun Hua saved her life not once but twice! Qin Liu Feng is also another character that doesn't fall into the treacherous grip of what a friend caught in the middle is typically casted as. This is going to make me cry, he loves You si so much & Fu Lou left Xiao Bai without causing harm when he heard they didn't have the nut.
Once we get past episode 30, Xiao Bai really shows that he knows & trusts what Chun Hua told him about You Si. So he didn't act, which was wise because Qiu Yue wanted him to eliminate Fu Lou's people for him. It also shows that even though Qiu Yue loves Chun Hua, he likes making use of her & toying with her while playing the victim himself. He also likes trying to make her feel guilty for having him help her do something good/right or selfless. It's all rather upsetting with Chun Hua's heart on the line, Xiao Bai's morality, duty & love on scales and Qiu Yue knowing the true villains but constantly setting people up to watch them make choices where one always results in numerous deaths while he hopes to still claim Chun Hua in the end. Talk about one heck of a story!
I only get a little relief when it's all finally out there that Qiu Yue's a manipulator, but can we say he's wholly the bad guy? They all played some part, but it was mainly their parents at the root of things and they are victims of consequence. Man so muddled, if all of them got together, aired out all the wrongs, they could definitely make changes happen together. Check each other on what one considers "right" or "wrong" and how it affects others.
Definitely will watch it again and watch if there's a season 2!
