I just finished watching it and I loved everything about it except for the ending. they give us this heartfelt journey where we watch duanwu escape from the pearl farm and become her own person and an outstanding businesswoman by none other then our male lead Yan zijan. I have watched every episode with full interest. It does not leave you bored whatsoever.

The story has a few interesting twists, some betrayals that you did not see coming. The only thing I didn't like in particular was the ending. It leaves you with an open ending where you just know Yan Zijan died and Duanwu is out travelling the world for over 40 years. we only see her convoy travelling.

Despite the ending however it is worth a watch. the chemistry between the two leads was on point from the very beginning. Zhao Lusi her performance was top tier and her character portrayal was on point. It's nothing like her usual characters that she plays but she did an excellent job. She plays a strong, arrogant (in the beginning) independent woman, with a clever mind and isn't afraid to take risks no matter what. I love watching her acting but this one was by far one of her best performances in my opinion.

The male lead also did not disappoint either. He portrayed Yan Zijan with grace and ease. I know there was many controversy around him being cast but I think it was the perfect fit. He did it as a favour to the producer and he did not disappoint in the slightest. He brought his character to life in the best way possible.

The romance between the two felt so natural and so real. it didn't feel forced and it was very enjoyable to watch. of course we should not ignore the other actors who did their very best in bringing there characters to life.

in short this drama is an absolute must watch. you won't feel bored and you'll immediately get dragged into it fully invested by the end of episode 1!
