I am a newbie at writing reviews, so please bear with me!

Story: I found the story to be a little confusing. It started off with a set plotline, but over the course of the show, the plotline became more of a reference point for the viewers. However, this isn't a turn off for the show. The ending picks up the plot again and follows through with the story.
Characters: The characters were very well developed in this show. Each one had their own skills and flaws. It was very hard to tell how someone would react to something, which is what I typically look for in a show. I don't want the characters to be easy to read, but also not to difficult. This show really did a great job of establishing each character as their own person.
However, I feel that the backstory of Tang Yi was over-explained too much. We didn't really get a lot of explaining to Meng's background. He would mention things and become emotional about things, but they never gave us any insight into why that is. The show would have been so much better if they had extended it and put some time into filming Meng's past, even just a little bit would have made this aspect much better.
I also wish they could have filmed more of Jack and Zi. We only got to see so little of them in this show and they were both great characters that added so much to the story. I wanted to know more about Jack and to elaborate on Zi's background. I understand that the show is focusing on Tang Yi and Meng Shao-fei's relationship with each other, but it would have been nice to see some more of those two!
Acting: Oh Yes! The acting in this show was so good! I could feel the emotions of each and every character. Hong-ye especially. The actress put so much effort into her performance and it really turned out well. Everyone did such a great job!
OST: Hands down, love it!
Overall: This show is a great show, doesn't matter if you're a BL fan or not. The scenery and stunt work is just great. The story plot line moves quite smoothly and there aren't any contradicting plot points. This show is a show for people and gives a lot of insight into our behaviours as people. This show is inspiring and will make you want to watch it over and over for those sweet moments.
