Mystery suspense drama w/some romance that keeps u going n curious about how things will unfold...

What I like:
- The genre is kinda new for me, the mystery suspense mixed with hotel business rivalries n some romance... I like n enjoyed most of it...
- The fake amnesia plot didn’t drag, it was found out early (eps6), so some unnecessary misunderstandings were solved fast...
- There were 2 big villains n they kinda split the drama to 2parts, so first half the leads were against that Huo Jian n the 2nd part were against XMH... honestly I prefer the 1st part where for me it’s much more interesting in how they unfolded the story... plus it was a fun watch with all the suspense they gave becoz of the reckless SXY n how LZL helped her getting thru lots of probs... i always like this work together side by side kinda plot...
- The cast... mainleads r eyecandies n they r good to look at... but not only that, I like the actor, he always delivers... n the actress has improved compared to her other dramas... their chems is ok... other characters did their parts too...
- The OST is good...

What I’m not so fond of:
- The 2nd part of the drama was not as good as the 1st part... for me crazy XMH got too much screentime n for a while it looks like he dominated the story... i always hate when that happens... i know it’s not for too long, but still, the part where he kidnapped SXY’s sis n became psycho n threatened SXY with her sis so she had to leave LZL n be with him annoyed me coz he is just so creepy, so I skipped lots of that...
- SXY was good in the 1st half, smart independent gal who wanted revenge for her father... but somehow after she got together with LZL, she got a bit less smart... she trusted XMH too much n even so compared to LZL which is her BF who she was supposed to trust more after all he’s done for her... at least she got back to her original character near the end...

Overall I still like this drama... it’s a new genre for me n production wise I think they executed it well enough... it had that suspense that kept u going n curious... it makes u watch the next eps coz even if somehow u can see the big picture, but u still wanna see how they unfold things...
