I created an account just to write this review.

Story: I for one, am happy to see a girl from a prestigious family act according to the norms in her time. Also, it's a nice change to see a slow burn romance not a love at first sight kinda deal. I think the story is quite believable.

First episode was kinda choppy and confusing, good thing they released more than the first episode.

The story about why she went to study was also later explained so that was good coz I wasn't sure why. I do wish they would have shown more teaching interactions.

Acting : FL, I'm a fan of Bailu and have watched all her dramas, but this one is her best acting yet because her character is so different than how she is in real life (from what I've seen online of her). Her crying has truly improved and I'm so impressed! It totally grabbed my heart. When she was mute she could only use her acting skills, that was the great display of her acting skills. I love her even more now!

Allen as ML, this was the first time I watched his drama. TBH I never thought he looked handsome, but he had grown on me, when I first saw pics of white snake I didn't think he was that great looking but in here I think his styling and hair enhanced his looks and I now think he looks handsome. His acting was right for this role, the looks him and FL exchanged were excellent! I am curious how he will act in the sequel and hope for more range.

Chemistry is on point! Bailu is total chemistry queen, total CP feels. You can feel there was emotion behind the glances. Their feelings for each other totally pulled me in. Cast was also great, and you can see great group dynamics. No annoying and useless characters. Dubbing was pretty good too and wasn't out of place or character. Everyone cried very well.

Music ost was well placed and great songs. Love 如一 and was pleasantly surprised to find out ML sang it. The duet one was also great.

Rewatched already and will rewatch until sequel comes out.

Overall, I would truly recommend for all!
