I would’ve rated this higher had it not dragged on in parts that were over fleshed out. It felt like Ling Buyi had to practically be half dead each time he rescues Shaoshang from something to show how epic their love is and how unique their struggles are. I’m not suggesting Shaoshang capitulate even when Buyi closes himself off but the off-repeated plot left something to be desired after several times.

Deep love can run in many forms but nothing but epicness would have suited this couple.

Acting wise, Wu Lei and Zhao Lusi are good.
