at first i struggled to get into this drama, i really wanted to like it because i saw so many good things about it and i wanted to see for myself how good it was. i won't lie, i only really got into it around episode 6 or 7 but once i got to that point i was hooked!

all the main characters are amazing and each bring something different to the table.. i started off hating madam li but towards the end i quite liked her and was happy to see that she had done so much for tian due to her love for him, it was heartwarming even if it wasn't what would be seen as the right thing to do..

the chemistry between tian and jiu was perfect, this drama had me crying hard multiple times and thats what makes a drama so good, it makes the people watching it emotional and thats when you know the actors and story line are worth watching

the OST for this drama is wonderful, i love the songs so much they make me a bit emotional even just hearing them and remind me fondly of this drama whenever i hear them :')

Overall: if you're not sure if this drama is for you based on the first few episodes i urge you to stick with it because you may find yourself hooked on it like i was, all the actors in this drama deserve any and all praise they are getting because this drama truly is great, i would definitely recommend it!

only downside is that the first few episodes are a little slow and were not instantly gripping me, plus each episode is about 1:12 hours long (the length of some movies) so if you are not into that it may be quite heavy and difficult to watch so please do keep that in mind!
