I don't normally watch TV drama. I just came across this series from watching a trailer and i got hook. I finished the series, read the novel and rewatched the series. I watched with subtitle at first, later i rewatched with Viet dub. Each time, i found something more interesting with this drama. Dang Luan was perfect for his role at "Phuong Hoang". He has the same feature that the book described his role. The human life "lich kiep" was such a heartfelt love story and a great addition to the original novel. The drama did a great job to expand and explain the novel.
