Basically,
if you're looking for great acting and strong characters, this might be your drama.
if you're looking for fluffy and romance, I suggest you to skip this. It'll make you starve and live from crumbs, * very few crumbs. *

I started this with no previous information, but simply because I fell in love with Cheng Yi after watching him in LaR. And in matters of acting, he did not disappoint. At all. The guy is amazing and I'll make sure to follow his dramas from now on. Prove? I've been watching cdramas for 3 years now but had never really cried watching them, also, had been long since I cried over dramas in general these days, but this guy just got me ugly sobbing for 3 days.
Cheng Xu has my love, and my heart badly aches for him.

The actress playing Ming Yu did also great and I really enjoyed her character. Her smart brain, her confidence, her righteous way of thinking are to be praised and admired!

Tbvh, I can't remember a better matching couple in dramaland. My problem then? The plot development. A highly frustrating and stressing plot development, that I'd have dropped if not for the acting and how I became attached to these poor souls.

So my suggestion, if you're looking for a tearjerker with great leading characters and superb acting skills, grab your tissues and enjoy the ride!
