Just finished all the episodes and what a performance especially from the male leads. Leo Wu has spectacularly captured the grit and angst of his Ling Buyi character in those revenge scenes. Zhao Lusi was a marvel in this entire drama - she perfectly portrayed the wit, stubbornness and youthfulness of ShaoShang in the earlier episodes and seamlessly transitioned acting-wise to a broken-hearted, elegant, still smart but more mature ShaoShang towards the end. The drama deserves to be watched for these two characters and actors alone but it was such a great and surprising treat to watch a very well-written, well-paced, enjoyable story, with an incredibly talented ensemble of cast - all very endearing and memorable and even the villains and minor roles - a great director, excellent cinematography and music. For those still on the fence - watch this if you are looking for a top-quality drama to savor from beginning to end:) 10/10 overall
