An unexpected materpiece!!
What an absolute masterpiece!! I initially decided to give this drama a try purely based on hype as I'm not fimilar with the leads so I didn't really know what to expect, but am I ever glad I gave it a try cause I absolutely love everything about this drama and it's definitely on my rewatch list.The CP between the leads is absolutely captivating. The romance portrayed here is not the scorching hot and sizzling kind of relationship, but it is more of the passionate, deep, mature, and everlasting love kind of romance and that is what drew me in from the beginning. MZY and LYR did an amazing job bringing their characters to life and all their interactions from simple stares to kisses and small nuances with their interaction really gives the audiance the image of a solid mature love without the unnecessary and immature drama we often see in Cdramas, and I'm all for it.
The concept of rebirth is not unqiue but thats fine since how many Cdramas nowadays are really that but it's a matter of how the cliche is brought to life that sets it apart from dramas of similar themes, and I think Blossom did a wonderful job in setting the tone of the drama since ep 1. The specials effects are stunning, the pacing is very reasonable, the plot development was on par with very few plotholes, and the character developments, even for the supporting cast was done well. I didn't find any characters that were particularly one dimensional or flat, everyone played a pivoting role that further the plot.
Because of Blossom, I am now a fan of MZY and LYR and is looking forward to their next project. I'll have to say acting wise I do think LYR is a bit stronger than MZY as I find he was a bit better portraying emotions and seems to really embody the cold but kind hearted general Song Mo. I still can't get over the dreamy silver hair look in the first episode!!! 😍
10/10 in my books and I am currently rewatching as I'm writing this.
