Prepare your tissues
This drama is honestly a really good drama. I've heard many people say that the acting and the storyline of the drama sucks but in my opinion, if any drama can make me stay up late at night and ignore the fact that I still have school the next morning, it's good.
Story: The storyline for this revolves around opium....i guess it's a classic for republican dramas now since I've seen this in most of the republican dramas I've watched. If you liked/enjoyed, Forever Forward starring Huang Zi Tao and Jackson Yee, I'd recommend this drama to you. If you do end up watching this drama, you'll see why I recommended it if you seen FF.
For those of you who are going to watch, please have a box of tissues next to you. THIS IS A SAD DRAMA! You have been warned!
Acting: Call this bromance or BL however you like but there's no annoying female getting the way. Are there some who try to get attention? Yes. Is it bearable? Yes. In my opinion, the females in the drama aren't too unbearable like others. The two leads have really good chemistry together. You can see it in their expressions.
Music/Audio: I'm combining these together because they're essentially the same thing or can be classified in the same category. The music is really good, especially at the heartbreaking scenes and it literally put me on the verge of tears. You can watch this series on Youtuber under "MGTV". The episodes are subbed but the only drawback to that is some parts of the audio are cut meaning that there is sometimes no sound. During the cut parts, there are subtitles however. If you prefer sub and audio to sync with each other, it's better to watch on the MGTV app.
Watch/Rewatch Value: The reason why I decided to "drop" this show after episode 25 is because I already know the ending. In many cases where I'm halfway through and someone spoils the ending for me, I tend to drop the drama. But the good thing is that you can choose your ending. I would have given this a higher score but since this drama drained me and played with my emotions, I don't think I want to go on a rollercoaster a second time. It's really good tho!! (I got hooked by just the title and poster)
