Painful, joyful and meaningful. Totally worth it!
This is way better than the anime. The anime is lacking and the ending felt rushed and it was kinda disappointing but this. The drama like... finally gave closure to the fans of the anime/manga. It was actually even better, The ending is satisfying compared to the manga. I want to see more!I just wish Chu Ying never left but it really how it goes. I will remember this drama for the next months.

Some take risks and turn their lives around.
Some live to bring happiness to others. Even with adversities, some will see the light.
Some bear no regrets in life.
Some stay stagnant over the years remain unchanging.
Some have never strayed from their goals.
Some obtained enlightenment while some understand the meaning of life.
Some are born to be champions, while some will be remembered by many (she gave birth to a champion- pertaining to Shi Guang huhuhu).
Some may hide talent s in a jar, while some are able to change their fate.
Some are born teachers. They are meant to serve others.
Some return as prodigal son, and become the brightest star of the galaxy.
Some are meant to be on top. They go through ups and downs and live for a game of chess.
There are some who only exist for your sake. They are rivals chosen by heaven.
Some will bring you joy, while some will bring you sorrow. They are the happiest things in life, while some are unmovable obstacles.
Some are blessings you've earned over three lifetimes, a friendship and bond you've earned.
-----
We will always be together... (Haven't typed the other dialogues anymore because I already spent all my time crying huhuhuhu)

A drama that will keep you interested
I had my doubts at first to start it then gave it a try and wow. This drama is something I look for. A drama where you don't see bitch and jerk characters fawning over the male lead or female lead.This drama talks about sacrificing one's self for justice. I fell in love with the male lead (Zuo Qing Ci) Everything he does is for the greater good. He may not be the strongest but he is the smartest. He's kind and someone who cares. He doesn't crave for power and wealth rather he hope for the health of people and the safety of the nation. He loves the female lead (Su Yun Luo) unconditionally. He is willing to do everything for her even if it means killing himself. He sacrificed a lot for her and it includes his chance to live longer. When it comes to her, he doesn't care about his safety which goes the same for her. He's often misunderstood by her because he keeps things to himself to not hurt her.
I liked the side characters as well and the side stories are as beautiful as the main plot. I want to praise and curse the writer for such matter. A lot of the characters in the story died especially Jiang'er and Changge, two characters with such wonderful personality. They chose death than betrayal. I wish they didn't die.
Zhu yan, another character I like. I understand why he did what he did. He suffered a lot. He lost everyone he had. He was pushed to the edge. He felt like he had no one. He was deprived of his right to have a family and enjoy having it. I hoped it ended better for him but the writer killed him like Jiang'er and Changge.
Shen Manqing and Wen Suyian/ Sima lang, two characters that I as well fell in love with. I liked how they had happy ending. Honestly, when I see others dying one by one in the drama, I thought all of them will die.
To cut it short, this drama will bring you to tears for many painful scenes. I like the music. I like the entrance song... I kept wanting to hear it so unlike other dramas, I didn't skip the song at the start every episode

A drama worth watching for its very unique and beautiful plot
This is the first time I cried a lot over a happy ending. The drama tackles a unique topic about mental health and it does not focus solely on the main characters. There are other side stories as well.Mental illness is a very crucial circumstance that some of us face and it's an unfortunate thing that one has to suffer. It is a topic that everyone should take seriously because it is not easy for those who have it.
One thing for sure... You will never regret watching this drama because it has a very good plot or I should say the best compared to other dramas where mental health is the problem.
For me I think that the main point of this drama is the title itself... IT'S OKAY NOT TO BE OKAY. For those who have mental health issues--- It's not your fault that you have it. It is okay not to be okay. You will eventually overcome it. Don't give up and don't dwell on the past. Move on, keep going. ~For those those who don't face such thing--- It's okay not to be okay. You suffer as well, endure it and don't be afraid to let it out. Cry and don't hold it in.
It's okay not to be okay--- for all of us. Do not be afraid to express yourself because only you can find a way if you do it. You can shout, scream, curse and cry. Let it all out and find someone to lean on. Show how you really feel. We are all human; expected to not always be fine. We are not alone, we shouldn't be. Find someone who can help. Find someone to lean on-- don't be shy. It is fine to not be fine. IT'S OKAY NOT TO BE OKAY.
You're not some robot without a heart. Some metal that's so effin' hard to bend. Some ghost- unseen and others should be afraid of.
You're a human. You have a heart so you get hurt. You're like a glass that can be broken when not taken care of. You are an existent being who breathes the same air and so you should be seen, you should be acknowledged for who you are and be helped when you're in need.

Good cast, great and interesting plot.
The start of the drama is promising and I got hooked with it until the end. I rarely find dramas with simar to this drama. The plot is deep yet light. I just keep getting interested as I watch it and had sleepless nights.In this drama, you'll realize what if? What if youlive knowing your fate which you desoerately want to change yet it seems so impossible because you can't go against God? You're merely a human. And what if, the reality you thought turned to be a sham? Everything you believe is fake?
I felt so into the drama because it tackles two special things in this world which are life and death. It's easier to die than live but would you rather die than live? This drama tells you that life is worth fighting for becausae it's worth living together with the people beside you who are ready to share your burdens.
_________
Cast
Changsheng- his character in reality is like a star that you can never reach. He's too perfect but it's what I like. He's too kind even after finding that he's nothing but an instrument for Yuren. This drama fooled me. I hate the plot twist near the ending. I was like WTF, wasn't it enough? He suffered a lot then he needs to suffer again, suffer the pain of the truth.
Xu Yourong- I don't really feel her chemistry with the ML. She's a character who is righteous and is very serious.
Luoluo- I love her character so much. So pure, beautiful, funny, charming and all. She played better role than the FL I think. I wished she ended with the ML.
Tang tang- I like his character development from childish to responsible and mature man. I just can't help but to love his character because it's dynamic.
Mo Yu- I hated her at first, so much but learned to love her because she turned from a bitch maid to a very good ally.
Xuanyan Po- he adds fun to the drama. He's cool, awesome, naive and strong? I just feel sad that he didn't had the chance to be loved back but I like how he stayed together with Luoluo until the end to serve her.
Nanke- she's a selfish lover who ruined the life of the one she loves. My mind is into half because of her. I hated and liked their tragic ending with Qiushan. I hoped they had a better ending but at some point, I think she deserved to feel the pain of losing him. You can never force love.
Qiushan- I feel that he should have a better ending than die. He was controlled and used. He had such an unjust fate. He repented at the end and back with his past self so why?!

Without finishing I would say this is one of the best!
What made me give it an overall 10 score is because the plot is so unique and unusual. You would never find such gem story like this. The story revolves around a man wanted for murder who changed his identity and a detective woman. Being married for 14 years, everything was perfect until the murder case 18 years ago resurfaced again when one of the victim's family committed murder in the same way the murders are committed before to aggravate the police into finding the accomplice of the murder 18 yrs ago (because the murderer already died). The accomplice is believed to be the son of the murderer which is our male lead.Hyun Soo, just wanted to live a normal life but things just don't go as planned. As I go through it, I feel so much sadness for him. He was accused of committing murder and he like, own the murder he did not commit to protect his sister (which I don't think really killed the man because of the accomplice's voice record).
I'll cut it short since I don't want to say everything. Pain and sadness can be felt when you watch this drama. Why is life so f*cked up? Why are people so prejudiced about other people? Does being a son of a murderer makes you a murderer as well? Sometimes, we're blinded from the facts because we see what we want to see and not see what we should see.

You will never regret watching this!
Honestly, I am speechless because every thing in this drama is magnificent. The plot, the acting, the chemistry between the leads-- just all.It is mostly heartwarming and I find myself smiling (sometimes sadly because of the reality) at different scenes. It is very relatable to the majority of people in the world. It tackles a very sensible topic about life. There are those among us, blessed, they have every material thing in life which made them blind to the hardships you can encounter in it and sometimes even how much they have, there's still something missing. Then there are those who have less, who don't have enough; living a life far from others. It's dismal but fortunately, they find happiness on their own way. You see, life is not just about having everything rather it is knowing how to live it. If you are living a life that others dream then be grateful and don't waste it. However, if you're not, find a way to see a brighter tomorrow.
I am very thankful to those who made this drama happen. It's not your typical BL thai drama or maybe it's because I haven't watched a lot of BL thai dramas... Anyway, really-- this is fascinating and I love every minute I spent watching it.
I am so delighted that I get to view such a masterpiece.

Just WOW
I have nothing to say. This drama is WOW. The characters are so wise and clever which makes it more interesting to watch. I never got bored with it. This drama keeps your mind thinking about stuff that just doesn't seem to fit in.The ending.... Ugh!! I did not expect it. One from my fav characters in the drama turned out be an effin' hypocrite!!! I was also fooled by him! I want him dead!!
I hope the 2nd season can be released faster and wish to still see Xiao Zhan in it.
I hope they don't change the actors for the 2nd season. I'd like to see them all again. The 1st really amazed me. I can't wait!

So far, it's definitely worth watching
The starting scene of the first ep did not get my attention that much but as I watched until the end, my impression was--- dang! This will get more interesting and it did! And I know it will get more.It gets better ep by ep and it will get your curiosity about the real identity of the MC. It is a drama with a heavy political topic set in fantasy which makes it fascinating to watch plus there's the secrets and mysteries that need to be uncovered--- main reason as to why you'll anticipate the next episode with excitement.
I've been looking for a drama that will not make me feel like 'it is just usual but I started it so let's just get to it' after watching few episodes. This drama did not give me the same feeling with the past dramas I've watched. I give it a 10 because of such matter.
I really like this drama. In my own opinion, the plot is really good.

The best season!
This for me so far is the best season because the atmosphere is too good. I love it! But I don't like Ep 3, the first part of the first stage performance. If you have a good eye for talents and skillful trainees, you'll know what I meanDANCE
1. Rikimaru- You'll love his stage presence. When he dances? It's like the stage is him and I feel that he does it effortlessly that I keep replaying to watch him again ang again. I know it's tiring but like, it's like it's not, I cannot explain, lol. He has a very opposite version of himself, when he's off and on the stage. Off stage he is cute and shy and on the stage, when music starts? Dang, he's lit! He is a great dancer, choreographer and leader. He works hard a lot for the stage. During their first stage performance? He was the core of the team and I am amaze of him so much more.
2. Santa- everything in him screams "fire". I like his respect for the stage. I love both of them and Riki. When they are on stage you can see that they worked hard for it and they have years of experience. If Riki's the one who dances like it's effortless, Santa's someone who dances like it's no joke. When he dances, you know how much effort you must put to have such outstanding performance.
3. Liu Yu- I like him just like the previous two from the first eps. He's graceful and like, he has this calm presence on stage.
4. Bo Yuan, Yu Gengyin, Dai Shaodong- Correct me if I'm wrong, they performed together during the first eps and I am impressed by their performance.
VOCALS
1. Yu Yang- When he sings, it's like a pierce in my heart or like he rips it then tear it to pieces, lol. I love his originals, they came from somewhere so deep? I don't know where he dug them LMAO.
2. Bo Yuan- Love his version of-- the song with "butterfly" word? When he sang it, I was like-- Dang! Where did this man came from. So cool, at the same time emotional.
3. Jing Long- a man who became viral because of his singing in the tunnel? I'm just grateful that he was discovered because really... He sings nice.
RAP
1. Liu Zhang/AK- he has good personality and a good rapper. He's such a good friend and like a brother to Liu Zhang. I loved his first performance, his rap-- it was so honest.
2. Oscar- if you watch Chuang 2021? It would be impossible for you not to recognize him. He is one of the eye candies, omg. He has skill and talent as well, especially in rap.
OTHER TRAINEES I THINK ARE REALLY GOOD TOO
1. Hu Yetao
2. Zhang Xingte
3. Mika
4. Kazuma
5. Caelan
