I was glued to the screen and binged in a few days

I'm not going to summarize the story. Other reviewers have already done this. I've watched up to episode 34 in a few days. I found myself glued to the screen. Now, that I've caught up, I can't wait for the last 6 episodes that air in a few days.

I love the cast:

Xu Kai Cheng's emotional swings in the beginning totally fit his heart break. As time passes, he has character growth and heals. He has great facial expressions to go with the scenes. When he chooses to move forward, I enjoy his relationship with Chen Xiao Yun's character. After watching the teasers for the remaining episodes, I'm curious how his relationship with change with Yang Mi's character. Side note: I enjoyed him in other dramas, too.

Yang Mi hits the mark with each scene and each stage of her character's life. If you like strong, capable, smart, witty, fun female characters that can hold their own (while appreciating it when the ML has their back), you'll likely like this one, too. I also enjoyed watching her in other dramas.

William Chan: Though he looks familiar, after looking at his other titles, I'm pretty sure that this is my first time seeing him. As they say in the drama, his character does a great job hiding his emotions. This, in part, helps prevent the viewer from guessing the next event before it happens. I don't like shows that are completely predictable.

I won't review every cast member/character. They're all valuable to the story. They did a great job adding to the story and weaving in and out of the lead characters' lives. If you watched any of the drama yet, you'll see that some of the actors play multiple characters in the drama. They did a great job acting with different personalities so it was easy to see the difference.

This story moves along and keeps you on the edge of your seat, most of the time. There was a time somewhere around episode 31-33 when the ML was again having flashbacks about the FL. While those give us insights into what the character was thinking about at the time, I was impatiently waiting for the next event.

This is my first Novoland experience and I enjoyed it. I will likely rewatch this drama, though the ending was definitely different than what I expected. Not exactly a very happy ending, but definitely not the sad ending I thought it would be either.
