A dream that took me onto a rollercoaster of emotions...

PLOTLINE --- The story in this drama was absolutely amazing! It had me experiencing feelings that I never knew I could have!
Each episode either left me anxious and excited for the next, or made me have peaceful dreams. The character
development in the FL (FXE) was pure chefs kiss. She started out as a nasty person but soon understood more
and made the bromance seem even more interesting. The bromance between CFT and SXR was something I
could never imagine before in a censored live action drama. Their love for each other could literally be seen
bleeding out from both these guys. The depths they went through for each other, even though
life threatening, was the cherry on top. All of their smiling and sweet moments made me smile like an idiot too
but they also made me cry during the heartbreaking scenes. They risked their lives for each other, protected
each other and cared for each other. As for the Chinese Opera, I admit I wasn't a big fan of it in the starting but,
as I watched episode after episode, the songs, the costumes, the poetry and stories, finally started to win my
heart. I adored it so much that after a while, I stopped feeling annoyed at the high pitched performances and
enjoyed it instead. The side characters also played a big part in the story and in my soul. From the beggar on the
street, to SXR's troupe.


MUSIC --- I somehow never skipped the opening ost even during the times I was desperate to see where the last episodes
cliffhanger had lead me to. The soundtracks along with the ending credits were equally beautiful and don't even
mention the opera performances! THEY. WERE. LEGENDARY!


ACTING --- 10/10! The actors, especially Andrew Yin, managed to let every little ounce of emotion onto their faces and
bodies. Props to the cast and the directors for making this drama a pleasant one!


WHY THIS DRAMA? --- I actually recommend this drama to those who are looking for a historic-ish drama, or for those who
love attention to detail, music, arts, bromance, BL( censored) etc. P.S. When you watch the first few
episodes, you might wonder what you actually are watching. DONT GIVE UP ON THE DRAMA! You
might just be sucked into the beautiful world of winter begonia like the rest of us!


Please do try this drama! No hate if you dont! <3
