Came for Han Shou, stayed for Ning Yuxuan!
Since there are already great and detailed Reviews by better Reviewers than me, I will try and keep it short and focus on some of the strengths that enabled me to watch this to the End.
As my Title suggests, I discovered the male Lead in Romance of Tiger and Rose and found him so convincing that I decided to check his other Dramas as well. I have watched a couple but dropped them halfway through, only this one I watched to the End and Boy was I rewarded for it.
To spoil it right away, the acting ability of Ding Yu Xi blew me away but more on that later.
The Story is alright. It has some glaring flaws and plot holes that really push the boundaries but it does get countered by the positive Elements. It does have its moments though.
The female lead was at first annoying (especially her voice) but strangely enough, she grew on me and I even liked her at the end. This can be a personal issue though, since I got so used to the insane chemistry between Yu Xi and Lusi in Tiger and Rose, she had quite a high hill to climb.
The supporting roles are overall great. Guo Bai is simply on another level. He does such a good job portraying the "Shadow Guard", tossing in the occasional "comic relief" moments and provide a side Romance that rivals the mains. His romantic partner is also not to be underestimated. She is beautiful (yes more beautiful than female lead imo) and her overall calm but lovely attitude complements Guo Bai perfectly. Overall the cast left nothing to be desired.
Now lets dive in to the main Event, the Boss, the phenomenal, outstanding, brilliant Ding Yu Xi. What an Actor.
In the End, when he seemingly loses his love interest, Yu Xi delivers such a stunningly real scene of utter despair and pain over the loss of his beloved that I basically got Flashbacks watching it. Since I went through something similar (not quite that dramatic but still painful) it was hard for me to watch and even jerked out a tear but boy was I amazed at his delivery. Ding Yu Xi is a talented Actor and he surely can act comedy just as well as tragedy. Looking forward to see more from him. Needless to say, he was one of the main reasons to watch this Drama.
I know this ended up more a "love letter" to Yu Xi than a real Review but I think this talented Actor deserves it.
Conclusion: I enjoyed this Drama Series despite its flaws and would watch it again if time permits.
