It’s been so long that I haven’t cried like this while watching a drama. This is the most beautifully painful drama I’ve ever watched. First let’s talk about the two main leads! I haven’t watched that much of Allen Ren dramas before so I didn’t know that his acting is this good. He’s so perfect and fit in with his character. Needless to say about Bai Lu, I know her acting is so great. I’ve seen her previous dramas with strong woman facade so when I see her with this Shi Yi character, I’m surprised by her versatility that she can portray any character or any role with ease. Here comes about the story or the plot of this drama. I heard this is based on the novel, I haven’t read it yet. So I cannot tell the drama is as good as the novel. Although I am watching this drama knowing nothing about the novel, I’ll give this plot 10/10. The development if feeling for each other goes with a slow pace. So if you like fluff romantic senes this is not for you. But even though there is not much skinship between them, I really like their soft gestures, meaningful gazes and soft romance. If feels like you are contented just by these because you can really feel their true love and how much they care for each other. Next, I want to give thumbs up to the production team for the beautiful cinematography. The setting places in the drama are so beautiful that I want to jump into the drama and watch those beautiful scenes together with them. Lastly, the OST! I like all the osts and they all perfect with the drama. There’s this OST(the duet one I don’t remember the title) I feel like my heart aching and my eyes crying whenever it comes out in the drama. So after all, I give this total 8/10. Why it’s not 10/10 is because I feel like my heart is so aching for the male lead. He doesn’t deserve any of this after all he had done for his country, and the people. There is no one left to clear off his name. At first I thought, the female lead would clear his accusation at least before she goes after him. But on her point of view, I can see that she can’t do much for revenge and may be cuz she has no strength to fight. So she just chose to goes after him. So it’s obviously a sad ending but I want you to give this a try even though you don’t like sad endings cuz it’s really worth the watch. You won’t regret it! It also has a sequel which is about their reincarnation story during today’s era. So you’ll have happy ending in that drama of course!
