I have never seen a cdrama as beautiful and meaningful as this- the usage of stories of numerous characters from the beginning till the end to depict various psychological issues and the involvement of the protagonists in resolving them was extremely well executed. The bigger story of the antagonist deserves a page of its own but I would like to briefly highlight here too how gorgeously his arc was portrayed that I feel sympathy rather than anger towards him.

As for the leads, I really couldn't have asked for better actors to portray the roles of Lin Shen and Xiao Xiao. Not going to lie, I did start the show because of Gongjun's visuals but definitely stayed for his incredibly captivating acting skills. As for Qiao Xin, I did not know of her before watching the show but now that I do, I would be looking forward to her upcoming projects because she is amazing too. I wish these two have more projects together in future because their chemistry is undeniably good.

I can write on and on about all that I admired about this show but I would like to conclude on the note that we are in dire need for more such shows which incorporate romance and depth of the plot in such a commendable manner. Yes, there might have been a few instances of inaccuracies in terms of the use of hypnosis and treatment techniques but there were also moments where I genuinely got to learn something new about psychological theories in addition to my available knowledge of the subject since I have studied it for 2 years.

I hate how terribly underrated this series is for Chinese dramas of this quality being summed up within 16 episodes are unheard of as far as I know. I binged watched this in 3 days and am incredibly going to miss the story that had absorbed me completely but most of all, I'll miss the characters who conveyed many beautiful messages in their own beautiful ways. In all, the series is a 'must-watch' and deserves more recognition than any other Chinese drama I can think of.
