This broke me but like in a good way, I loved every second of pain. The acting was amazing, the leads really embodied the essence of the characters despite the changes to the storyline. It's best to view it as separate to the novel because whilst it does make a lot of changes it's still worth watching for what it brings to it's own story. Bai Yu and Zhu Yi Long did such a great job carrying this drama and brought so much to their roles.
I cried when I got to the end before wondering how soon is too soon to start rewatching it because it's something I'll be rewatching again and again.
