I picked this show to give my eyes some rest from much loved but sometimes getting too much of Chinese costume dramas and explore a little more on Taiwan. I am not the fan of the genre. I don't play games and hadn't been aware of this one before I got to read the reviews. I am highly cautious about anything that is not xianxia or wusia genre. With all these mentioned this is an amazing show, a fantastic cultural experience on that period of Taiwanese history mixed with local lore. The atmosphere and coloristics is so special that it is hard to believe the show was made in 2020. Only 8 episodes short, it introduces into the world so gently and firmly, that I could clearly feel what the characters felt. The love vibe is very strong. My only complaint is the unfolding romance between a school student and her teacher, who is actually her psychologist. In my world this is a severe violation of professional ethics, but it doesn't seem to be an issue with the authors. And yes, I went to google The White Terror while watching the show.
