I would say that it's really good. I was really interested with the trailer that's why I watched it plus it's Hu Yi Tian. I really stayed for him lol. I haven't watched many revenge themed dramas so I'm fine with it. The first episodes are great for me. I'd say that I really like plots where the leads are solving problems/mysteries. I love the four, I love their friendship. Have nothing to say with the chemistry of two, love it. And yes, at the first episodes, or the first time that they got together, there are really instances that Yi Tian or Gao Shan is trying to manipulate Lin Wo. Though at the middle, after they broke up the first time, I could see the changes to both of them. Afterall it was part of the reason that Lin Wo was always inferior when they broke up. At first all Gao Shan had in mind is to have his revenge not until he really fell for her. I actually love the character development, not only to the two main leads but as well to Su Yuan and Alisa. That's a good point for me. Plus, love how they used the cases that they solved as a way to give development to their characters and bond. Some might say that it is dragging at the first half but it's fine for me. Really, I would give the first half of it a 9/10. Everything just went downhill after the existance of Bei Xiarong. He ruined it. Liked, literally. I'm not really a fan of love triangles, I hate him so much. I skimmed through episodes 34-37 because of Xiarong. Yes, I'm blaming all the mess to him, yes I hate him to core, yes I'm biased. Seeing his face makes my blood boil, seriously. Episodes 33-36 was painfully dragging for me. I really can't stand the face of Xiarong. The drama would have been shorter if not for him. The couple, for me, was really strong and holding on to their relationship especially after seeing how they deal with the truth on Episode 30. Things just really got messy because of Xiarong, had he not told the delivery to come earlier, then there would be no mess. Just thinking of it still makes me so frustrated. But well, I guess that's really how drama works, I told myself and hold on to it (seriously I'm on the verge of dropping it). I tried to shake off my irritation, but to my disappointment, Lin Wo just forgave him THAT fast. And he wasn't even punished for what he did!! She was so mad when it came to Gao Shan then she just let it slipped so easily when it came to Xiarong. Also, I can't see any purpose of his character besides being obsessively in love with Lin Wo and ruining their relationship to drag the drama even more. I might exceed the word limit if I continuously rant about him and it still won't be enough to discuss my annoyance with his character. Well, moving on, the last things that I'd just drop here is how quick the proposals are haha. Or maybe it's just me? Think it would have been better if they dated for a few more months after what happened, you know. Also, why did Sun Miao's son didn't grow up? He's still seems to be the same kid haha. Guess I'd wrapped it here then. I'm really disappointed with the last parts and how it went down the hill. Really liked the first parts, sighs. Actually planning to rewatch it but after seeing the second half, well, no thanks haha. Still, I think it's a good watch if you're not bothered with love triangles and annoying character like Xiarong. I just really came for Hu Yitian, though haha. Well, at least I don't regret that I watched it and I'm satisfied seeing him and watching their chemistry.
