This drama has 50 episodes long and I felt like the ending has been dragged out a bit, but definitely did not disappoint! Great cast, great acting, great music, and I would definitely re-watch. Mixed with a LOT of family drama, business battles, betrayals, friendships, love triangles, there are many great things to say about this 2013 romantic drama! [MAY CONTAIN MINOR, VERY MINOR SPOILERS] This novel-based drama has great camera shots, great scene transitions, amazing fashion styles, and great music accompaniments. Straight from the first episode, you'll be sucked in with the fast-paced events. I got hooked by the children in the rain scene and if you watch it, you'll know what I mean. It'll slow down, which is why it stretches to 50 episodes but I wasn't able to stop myself from watching it episode after episode. Even to the very end, I wanted more! [And if you do watch it, you'll REALLY understand what I'm so stuck on.] Cliche but to the point, the drama has deaths, illnesses, love, betrayals, sibling rivalry, etc. As the synopsis indicates, there's almost a constant melancholic atmosphere surrounding the female lead. Qin Li is a great actress. First saw her in Shining Days and her strong personality in her roles really amazes me. In this, she plays out an innocent young girl that becomes a understanding woman within one scene and it was fantastic! The schemes, the well-thought out plans, the way she takes control of all kinds of situations, it's all so visible in her acting. The people around her are constantly hurt, as well as herself! It was a drag to see the family drama drag on for so long and I actually skipped through most of it. Then there are the male leads. One acts as a playboy and the other one as a childhood love. The childhood love played by Li Yi Feng was really sweet and heart-wrenching. The playboy played by Lee Wei makes you hate his guts at first but then when he comes back into the drama later on, you'll just grow to love his guts. What's a drama without a love triangle? Along with so many siblings (the father got really busy during the drama), Chang Qing tried to get what's hers and avenge her dead relatives. Despite all her hard work, love doesn't come easily to a girl who wants so much revenge. The plot was given an 8 for its cliche-ness. Definitely loved the entire drama as a whole!
