Not A Cliche
Accidently stumbled into this drama and though the summary seems cliche, but it's NOT. Like other users said, it's a hidden gem.
Story:
They didn't do revenge troupe, they did it more elegantly. It's actually a 3-part drama with 12 eps each part so be prepared for the transition. The first part is about how the main couple gets closer to each other and solves the FL family massacre. it also shows us the laying ground for the later part about other male characters who put interest in FL. The second part is about FL's life in Xirong with LHY after being tricked. ML doesn't appear much in this part as it's more focused on how FL tries to get through their "break up". 3rd part is the most emotionally exhausting part. LHT's obsessiveness is total nonsense, more than his brother. The ending is rather open-ended. If you want closure, go watch the sequel movie.
Acting:
HLD did her character well, she did both happy and sad scenes nicely and was able to convey Yi Luo's feelings. In the first half, FL is a bit childish but it's understandable as she comes from a noble family. She's wiser in the second half along with all the hardship she went through.
FLJ as ML is the best choice. His expression, his smirk, and his glance are all perfect. Loved his slight smile and sweet eyes when he saw FL.
All cast action might be a bit off, such as the sword-involved one but still acceptable for me. After all, it isn't a huge budget drama. You will appreciate the cast's effort on their action scene more if you watch the behind-the-scenes on the last eps. All cast have done their best on this project.
Music:
OSTs fit well with the story. It adds a more heart-wrenching effect to the story. Here are the songs if you want to hear them on YouTube or Spotify.
Warm Misty Rain - Li Wei
A Time When There Was Only You - Duan Linxi
How? - Li Sha Xunzi & Wang Yi
Fully Around the Mountain - Wu Heng
Warm Misty Rain - Feng Yijun
A Time When There Was Only You - Zi Hong
Rewatch:
I don't think I will rewatch this. Even if I do, I will skip much on LHY LHT scenes as I can't stand the toxicness toward FL.
Overall:
Please go try to watch this drama guys. This drama is worth it. Don't give up on this drama and show more support.
