Tries its best to tug your heartstrings but fails at it hilariously.
I was really looking forward to this drama since the source material was really interesting with the FL being unique. She is blind. But in here, they had to do some creative liberties and I really didn't mind it that much since I haven't really read the novel.
This drama was a mess in terms of narrative. I lost count of how many plot holes that I've found. I feel like the pacing is really weird with a lot of the important events happening in the background in favor of cheap plot twists. The mystery angle of this drama lacks buildup.
What's weird is that I really got confused with the story's structure and tone. This drama has a lot of dark tones which the romantic comedy side has a hard time compensating for. The music has this weird abrupt shift from being romantic, comedic, then to being serious. Other c-dramas handle tonal shifts in terms of music better than this drama.
What irked me is most are the dialogues. They are so poorly timed that it makes the story really confusing and cringey with the scenes in which they were delivered doesn't have much of an impact. In some serious scenes, I was really dumbfounded.
The saving graces this drama (the reason why I gave higher points to the story) had were the dynamic of the Long brothers and their wives. It's really rare to see brothers in cdrama that are not competing against each other. The second saving grace was the ending. I was really happy to see that this drama has the last episode dedicated to the epilogue of the story.
If you're a fan of Xing Zhao Lin and want to see another side of his acting, watch this drama. If not, go watch something else.
