In my opinion, this historical costume drama has it all: comedy, fighting scenes, childhood trauma, slow burning romance, beautiful cinematography, great OST and amazing cast. Every single actor suits the character portrayed in the novel. The evolution of main couple is extremely well done, from cold selfish untrustfull youth, these damaged souls learn to trust and love each other. Their microexpressions, the slightest look will change according to the plot. It may seem like a slow start the first 5 eps, but is necessary to build the background of the characters, so you can understand why / how their teens years shaped their mind.

It is an unusual drama, since both ML and FL are flawed, but this is what makes it unforgettable. Special thanks to Director Fei who researched and prepared each detail of the drama ( see youtube), and special kudos for actress Zhao Lusi and actor Wu Lei, both in their early 20's, for a magnificent performance that made our 2022 summer ungorgettable !

A great drama, very good performance and amazing chemistry between the main leads. Some claim the story copies Nirvana - that is not true, as I have watched both dramas. Is like saying all love stories are the same, because it involves a couple...Now they are trying to take out this drama and even involve the name of the main male actor in the scandal supposingly regarding the injury of a horse during shooting... While I hope this is not the case, accidents sometimes happen not only yo animals but also with actors and cast members. It is at duch times they need our support, wishing them well recovery and urging them to take better care . We must separate the cases of willfull injuries from regretfull accidents, and stop unfounded malicious rumours.

A story of love and betrayal, similar to Wuthering Heights. Woo Jae is the one who truly loved and paid with his life. His lover, after cheating on her husband, goes back for money. His wife can not accept being abandoned and keeps him alongside to punish him, his lover, and destroys the lovers' family. The moral : if somebody does not love you as you love them, show your love by letting them go. Don't be clingey and spiteful, fate gives everyone their due.
