Mixed Feelings
To start, the synopsis is not accurate and needs to be updated, as it is based on the book and not the show.
I really wanted to like Han Sen, but he was so selfish up until literally the last episode. (Though I am glad he finally woke up and started being decent, it took way too long) Ah Li was one of the most unbelievable characters I have ever seen. No woman that successful would put her career and freedom at risk the way she does all for one man. Her obsession ruined so many lives, including her own. The way she had zero remorse right up until the end was gross.
I hated how many things were left unresolved. Nan Sheng/Qiao Man never confronted He Ping over the whole pregnancy thing with Ah Li, so I don’t know if she ended up believing it or not. We don’t know if she forgave her “sister”, she didn’t even go see her college “best friend” when she regained her memories, we don’t know what happened to Han Sen’s brother’s wife and BIL (they started scheming at one point for what reason?), Peter came back in for what??, what happened to Ben?, The Beacon seemed like such a big deal for some reason and then eventually it just….isn’t, what happened to Nan Sheng’s uncle? I could just go on and on. I liked the casting and thought the acting was good, it just dragged so much for no reason. I’ve never seen so many flashback episodes either. I’d almost rather watch a drama based on everything going on in the past before she loses her memories.
Also, the ending was terrible. Though we know they very likely do finally end up together, I’d have liked it to feel more satisfying. They obviously love each other and I wish Nan Sheng would have been an adult about her feelings instead of just running away. I think they could adapt this into a movie instead and it would be better.
