I actually feel a bit strange. This type of stories isn't my cup of tea but I watched this drama because of Xiao Zhan. I was waiting since the untamed... The story was a bit common, we seen it before with all the tropes and the common, predictable twists. Also, I believe it had a lot of supporting characters that neither gave anything to the main plot nor had complete and indipendant stories. They were always in the middle, to the point I skipped a lot of their scence. That I think is the main problem of the drama, it tried to put in a lot of things but left them in the middle. Even if I enjoyed the drama, I always felt that something is missing. Another of my problems is the bit archaic and a tinyy bit patriarchical views about mariange and family. I watched a lot of asian content and I know some countries are a bit more conservative but it is my first I feel it so strongly. Maybe it has to do with the million reviews from the authorities or the chinese society become more conservative, I don't know... Maybe it isn't a problem that the writing team could control. But this is my feeling.

What actually saves this drama is the lead actors and Lin Zhixiao's family. Xiao Zhan is, like always, amazing and actually is the only reason I finished this. Also. Yang Zi was really really good. Her role wasn't so well written but she did an amazing job with what she was given. Also the Lin family was really great, Xia Zhiqing and Sunny Hao was great in their roles. These four was the only memorable and interesting characters with complete stories that you wanted to watch.

Maybe I am a ting bit dissapointed ( I waited for almost 3 years) but all in all it was a good experience.

(P.S.: Amazing OST, both their voices are amazing)
