Here I am at 1am at the end of my weekend, and after a marathon of watching I have to say I was insanely disappointed.
Story:
The story is so insanely dramatic, if you are the hopeless romantic type (lets face it most of us are on MDL) you might forgive lapses here and there in certain dramas *cough*Boys over flowers*cough*, but here its too constant, that you feel your intelligence is insulted. Everyone is in love with the main lead and she is 2D throughout the drama and not at all relatable. Then the love triangle eventually morphs into a love octagon, which is too convoluted. If that wasn't bad enough, the love that they express and the decisions they make with that love in mind should have them in straightjackets! I think the whole cast could probably benefit from a reeducation on love, especially script writers.
Acting:
I like the main leads acting, I just wish the script hadn't let them down. I couldn't help but get annoyed at the fact that Bai Zi Hua didn't really get any character development until the last 5 episodes of the show. Also Hua Qian Gu was nicely portrayed but the character wasn't created with much depth. The rest of the cast were highly irritating from the forced constant laughs, repeated draggy scenes, unrealistic love portrayals and lack of emotional depth.
Music:
Music was probably my favourite it flowed well with the show.
Rewatch value:
Rewatch? I would rather tap dance on my kidneys!

STORY:
Why I liked it:
1.) The Journey of Flower has an interesting story.
2.) Sha Jie Jie was the best character in the whole drama. (That's about it!~)
3.) Everyone played their role good.
Why I didn't like it:
1.) Hua Qian Gu's purity and innocence was annoying. She had no backbone whatsoever and was too forgiving. Also a big downfall about her was that she was too wimpy. I've seen other girls in different dramas who did the whole "pure & innocent" role way better. At least they weren't wimpy in their role. This is not to say, that I didn't like her at all, I did but those moments were few and far in between.
2.) I thought Bai Zi Hua was a d*ck for almost the whole series. He only redeemed himself in my eyes in the last 5 or so episodes.
MUSIC:
7.5 / 10 Nothing bad to say about it.
REWATCH VALUE:
Would I re-watch it if given the chance/ or should an opportunity arise? No. That is a big NO for me. 50 episodes with an ok and super wimpy female lead makes me cringe. I would cry so hard if I had to see it again. Watching it one time through was enough for me.
OVERALL THOUGHTS:
The story was ok. Tha acting was alright. The music was good. CGI was bad at times and both leads could be aggravating at times but you should definitely give this drama a watch. If you are like me, then you should be able to tell with the first few episodes if you will continue with the drama or not. I know that this drama will not be for everyone.

So I don't know why it has so high score. I'm only watching it because Zhao Li Ying. This is long not as good as Boss and Me and that has only 8.5 score.

The male lead was just not worthy...
I dropped this because I could not handle the toxic relationship between the FL and ML--or the fact that everyone kept blaming a teenage girl for having a crush on a grown man SHE WAS SENT TO LIVE WITH ALONE! And then when he willingly banished her into a place where (it was implied) she was sexually assaulted by a group of bandits and then he had the gall to say it was best for her to be there--I was done. Especially since the SML was a thousand times better person than the ML (even if he was supposedly evil). It was just too ridiculous and I couldn't take it any more.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?

And the ending... Wow speechless just the ending itself I watched it over 5 times, and each time is still as good.
After watching it, I was eager for season 2, but once it came out it was a disappointment. Really unrelated to the first one.
