I am delighted with the acting. I rarely see such dedicated actors. I know many of them from other dramas and I have the impression that each of them gave their whole heart to this drama.
I am not the first and the last person to love the character of Ji Chong. It is not about the phenomenal Xiao Zhan, but about how completely this character was built - his family relations, baggage of the past, personality. I get the impression that due to the fact that this is a character without supernatural elements, he was treated very gently by the censorship and it was cut out of it as little, or almost not at all.
Well, you can see that the censorship treated The Wolf ruthlessly, yet the producers saved what they could and for me the overall impression is excellent. Many elements were left to the viewer's imagination, but for me it only added charm to the drama.
Personally, I like this drama very much, mainly because of the actors / characters. The heroes have their advantages and disadvantages, they are very realistic and passionate. They make up for any other shortcomings.
Not recommended to people who like sweet romances. I recommend it to people who do not mind a certain emotional 'juiciness'.
