I never felt like writing a review before. I love the History series, they have a great story, the characters are so complex and the chemistry between them always leaves me speechless. They are that kind of series that you cannot stop watching. I finished it in 2 days, I started the last episode at 2 a.m. because I was so awake and couldn't wait to see the ending. And thats where the fun part ends.
This story was amazing. It was unexpected, when I felt that I know what will come next, it proved that I'm wrong. That's why it is impossible to stop it, because it makes you awake and wait for more. It is well-built, the more we get to know more about the at first sight "simple" characters, the more we love them. And I know that it is typical for (BL) dramas, that in the last episode something schoking happens, so I'm not that suprised anymore when an accident happens and they lost their memories, the MC gets kidnapped or loses someone etc. It's okay, exciting for the last moment.
But this ending was so.... I can't even find a proper word for it. After I watched the last episode I was miserable, heartbroken and took me a while to cry myself to sleep. I always love this from hate to love relationships, because there so big tension between them, and when they finally broke the walls between themselves... You feel like it happens to you. And the actors took it the whole new level. When I first saw Yu Xi Gu, I was already heartbroken. Skinny, strong cheekbones and soooo vulnerable. Yet he is working hard despite the things and suffering he has been through. Then his total opposite Xiang Hao Ting enters his life, changes it, make him feel love and warmth and that he doesn't have to fight alone anymore. He suffered already so much... It was like we got the heartbreak in advance, so I was quite confindent about the end. As I said: accident, ok. A bit more suffering and anxiety for the end, ok. But why had he have to die? I just can't understand, for me it is not reasonable. He suffered so much alone and got a few minutes happinness. I'm still schoked, I will never accept this, but I realized something. We all will remember to this drama, because of this. Because it is different. Not only the end, but the whole story. The ending just makes it even more memoreable.
That's why I gave 10/10 for it. Because I admit that it was brave move from the writers to do this. It has a big massege in my opinion: that we such appreciate what or more importantly whom we have and really Make Our Days Count as they did during short time that they got to be together.
