Amazinggg, there is no other way to put it. One of the best shows I have ever watched. The characters work together so well; the actors are chosen perfectly. No exaggeration, they are legit perfect for each other. The setting, the outfits, the expressions. The actors are soo talented in this aspect. Those subtle hints of emotion, especially Lan Zhan's tears had me bawling multiple times. Normally when the main character dies, the watchers can become bored with the show and I was suspicious that would occur with this drama, however, the way they managed the plot, the interactions between the characters, the scenes and situations, I felt nothing of such. I finished the whole series in 3 days. Yeah, cuz I just couldn't stop watching. But the one thing I really wished they would have done is added more sensual scenes between Lan Zhan and Wei Ying. But I do understand that due to existing homophobia within China, having such scenes may have canceled the show and I definitely don't want that. But still, through eye-catching, longing stares between the two characters, their actions towards one another you can most definitely, see a spark. I really hope and wait eagerly that they continue the series into a second season. I researched online but couldn't find anything about such yet but, I have high hopes. The series blew up in the publics eye and has great ratings. It has remained as one of the top Chinese shows these last couple of months so I have hope that season 2 will surely arrive.
Whoever wants to start this series and is unsure, look, listen to me, it will blow your mind. People say that you can get confused with the first three episodes since they play around with time but I didn't feel so. It was easy to follow. But it changes per person and his/ her perspectives of each scene. You will love it, trust me.
