I have rewatched this so many times and am somehow still surprised that I cry each time. I watched bc of bailu and truly wasn't prepared for what happened. This show was so beautifully done form the acting, to the plot, to the camera work, etc. I loved that this show really made me care about the side characters and relationships as well. There are somethings I don't really understand but it absolutely does not detract from the show for me. Bailu's performance was incredible -- so many crying scenes and they all felt different and believable. BL is such a happy and loud person that seeing her act as Shiyi and really solidly compose the character was impressive. This work was masterfully done, the two main leads had such small moments together but you could feel how delicate that was and how important they were to one another. The tone of the show felt nicely woven and everything felt earned based on character's decisions (except for one guy -- maybe I wasn't paying enough attention but I could not understand that one dude)..
