Beautiful love story

I loved this drama! Generally speaking, I am much prefer Kdramas to any other foreign shows I watch. This is only my opinion 2+ years into switching from American shows to foreign but I have found that C dramas can sometimes border on less realistic acting and storyline less appealing. This is not one of those! The love story between ML & FL was so beautiful throughout the entire show and his treatment of her was something every girl dreams about.

Pros:
Great acting by everyone. I have seen ML before and was not surprised that was the case for him but remaining cast were all new to me.
No long breakup between ML & FL which is so typical of many shows like this. A few bumps that were quickly resolved w communication and love.
Every storyline or relationship in this drama was played out and wrapped up nicely.
Interesting learning about fashion and historical aspect of China. Helped me to see a different / fascinating China than what most Americans typically think of China
Gorgeous fashion shows w models as well as clothes worn by cast. ML wore some beautiful clothes that American men would be “afraid” to wear.
Yes, it was long (45 episodes) but every episode I found was interesting.

Con:
I could only find one that was A bit irritating when ML kept FL in the dark about a childhood one sided love that occurred and caused some problems & did not fest up until forced to do so when FL accidentally discovered it and was really hurt. He did admit to his wrong but he still should have known better and handled it completely different. But hey the writers had to have some type issue to spice up the story I guess. 😄

All in all - I am going to list this as one of my favorite shows out of 100+ I have watched of foreign dramas in the last couple of years. Some of the criticism of other reviews I could not understand & thought were unwarranted. Don’t miss out on watching this great love story if you like that type of genre you won’t regret it.

Good plot but lack of realistic emotions

I like the overall plot on this. The suspense of it was very good, but I felt both leads did not show enough emotion toward one another and especially at a few pivotal moments within the drama. I would have rated it higher if it would have contained more romance between the leads. I felt like the farther into the drama the less they showed regarding their emotions. For example, when the male lead was hurt in action and was in the hospital, she was too calm for it to be realistic. When she was kidnapped toward the end, he remained too calm as well. Granted they both were very laid-back characters but they still should’ve showed more emotions during these crisis, if they loved each other as much as they claimed. I would not rewatch this drama, as it was hard to be invested in their relationship due to their acting.

Awesome drama

1st don’t pay attention to all the negative reviews! I almost passed this up due to that fact and boy am I glad I did not. I watch Kdramas all the time so I am not new to this. Forget that it has some cliches in it and just watch it as a stand alone drama and you will enjoy it. Forget that the ML seems cold and stuck on himself at 1st and take into account his childhood. EVERYONE did a fantastic job of acting, the OST was very good and I personally liked the plot but know I am a complete romantic at heart so I can also sympathize with the FL and her emotions. 2nd FL was a bit annoying as to how she treated the 2ML sometimes but still could not dislike her just wanted to shake her at times. Last couple of episodes are tear jerkers but the ending wrapped up nicely. Bottom line, this might not be for everyone but it most certainly does not deserve the bad reviews it has gotten, I loved it! Take the time to watch it.
