This show was super good! As someone who enjoys some action/suspense Chinese dramas, this was fantastic!

First, the cinematography and visuals were on point. The second episode especially illustrated this when the two leads met again. Gorgeous scene! The storyline is pretty solid, it had great pacing. I do almost wish the story was told in a linear fashion but it still works. The FL & ML had great chemistry and acted well in their scenes.

While some dramas often feature long stretches or episodes with a ton of pointless fillers, this drama made everything felt important to the plot. For example, their date scene at the amusement park could have been a filler episode but it served so well to help FL confirm and question ML. Most scenes were not wasted.

This drama is not without its minor flaws. The ‘villain’ comes off a little too strong when he kidnaps her. I would have loved to see him act more calm, composed in reflection to the earlier scenes. I didn’t buy his obsession with FL as he seemed irrelevant- like an after thought.

HOWEVER, this also can illustrate how insignificant he was to the FL lol. I just wish his main motivation added up to more than FL and his daddy issues.

Also- as an aside, I really appreciated how ML was supportive of FL. He recognized her career was important to her and treated her like she could handle her own. While these are not “wow” traits, I liked seeing this illustrated as many dramas treat women like they are incapable.

Second lead couple was cute btw ?
