This drama sounded amazing - synopsis similar to "Secret" and is adapted from novel. First episodes provided great cinematography, scenes at Paris, quality soundtrack, great actors. It rose up huge expectations.
First disappointment came from lead actors chemistry. I did not felt "from hate to love" relationship. Hate was not emotional but rather they exchanged arguments. ML is not as complex as in Secret, there you could feel hate emotions and inner struggle to that. ML character is quite one sided. Though FL played that part quite good. There was no period when hate dissipated and they fell in love gradually. It was too sudden.
Everything happened in just few episodes. They love each over eternally but about 40 episodes left. For me, as experienced watcher, this was very fishy. After they fell in love drama went into full "melo" mode. Evil manipulative mother who uses fake illness on every ML "no" word, spoiled childhood-friend-as-younger-sister-but-wanting-more using daddy for evil deeds, evil scheming buthurt 2ML,... This is receipt for writing disaster. Even for melodrama. Is this really adapted from novel? Seems no. It was usual cheap writing to create one sided characters who miraculously change on the last episode. There is zero complex characters in this drama. Many surrounding secondary character are either cheating males or crazy women. Scene after scene drama went downhill.
I put drama onhold. At least it was made in very high quality. Waited it to be completed. But then saw it has unsatisfying ending and seems writers failed to manage balance between happy moments and frustration. They failed to include funny and very likable side-characters to maintain balance. Why I would watch 30 hours of frustration where in the end justice is not delivered to all evil people in this drama. Bad writing made this drama miserable.
Maybe it had interesting business cases. Business war between two super smart half brothers seemed promising. Main pair has good chemistry when in love. But to sum up everything it is not worth it. Dropped
This drama has zero resemblance to Secret. If you want to watch good Chinese melodrama with romance I recommend "Because of You". At least there evil people got fair share and it was balanced really well.
