I was on a rampage for Chinese dramas. I do have a lot of experience with long and boring chinese dramas but the few that gave me a reason to keep watching has just been as wonderful as this drama.

As someone who hasn't visited or lived in China or isn't acquainted with the chinese history and people, I was able to experience the ordeal of the Chinese people at this time.

It wasn't an in your face story, the story started from the female lead running from being engaged to she and her twin brother growing and becoming more mature with every encounter they came across. The bond between them did not seem exaggerated but was built overtime, which just made the ending very painful.

Officer Gu on the other hand grows into a fine young man with unwavering principles and stubborn character, how he fell in love with his wife was pure and seemed like fate wanted them to be together.

What hurt the most was watching Jun Shan lose Pyang and Xiang Jun the older sister of the twins fall apart. Watching her do she can to stand tall and then die in the end was a lot to take in. It also pained to watch the fall out of both husband and wife, but considering their characters it was well underway.

For the entire family, watching them depend on Jun Shan and then taking care of themselves when he was no more was more like a retribution for me.

What I could say was I was proud of every single character in the Gu, Hu and Xue family at the end of the drama.

A wonderful piece I must say.
