I could tell you this is a very nice movie to watch on a shallow day. I could you that this movie is the better half of all the sad dramas that don't end well. I could tell you that cliché is what the plot reads (it is) but feelings start to form mid way and you would want to stay. I could tell you and that's why I did. Because that's what it told me.

As for me, I didn't start with any expectations. Honestly just watched it, while i was scrolling through one of the non-legit sites for dramas. I just wanted a nice movie and Oo, look a nice movie with amazing cast. It was already calling me towards it.
Honestly speaking after seeing the poster, you don't even need any more reason to watch the movie but hey, its okay to have trust issue. We know how it went down with Scarlet Heart Ryeo. And that's why i am writing a review.

The movies is cliched but not heavily. We have a shy female lead who lives in a indiscernible patriarchal family who learns to express herself more and a male lead who is (like always) rich and has a troubled past neither of which lasts long. This is the story of how they meet and do they last? But as the movie goes on, we can see from the naked eye that just as annoying as it seems and however cliched it may be, it talks about some issues. It talks about academical pressure that comes from excellence, the subtle actions in the family that draws a fine line over "patriarchal ideologies" and "unquestioned love for sibling", the burden of sickness, and mildly the fickleness of society. The plot slowly shifts.

What i liked about this movie are only two things and they stood out the most to me.
One, people are good at different things and what you thought you are good at may not be the one you are the best at. Its like you finish first in the neighborhood race but you last in the national race. You can try hard to be the best. If you cant be perfect, that's okay, be like the FL, try a different opportunity. You are not God to make things always go your way.
Two, the cinematography, whenever the plot got dusky, happy, prideful, stupid, heavy, etc., the mood was always right. Thanks to the excellent cast the feeling was there and with the magnificent cinematography, everything was perfect. There are like a million potential screenshots of beauty in this movie.

I love to talk about the cast and music but i think i need not say much cause those are for the sense organs to feel. You will know it when its bad and when its good. And mine said it was good.
It have a good rewatch value mainly cause its a feel-good movie and cause of the lit cast. And that all adds up to "Damn, that's a fine movie to watch". So there we have all the issues solved.

P.S.: There were R-rated scenes but because its China, they weren't released. So check them out on YouTube.
