Never thought that I would be loving a spin off of Hidden love more than Hidden Love but here we are. The leads are INCREDIBLE and Extremely good while portraying complex characters of Sang Yan & Wen Yifan - A beautifully melancholic story of pain, trauma & endless wait to say it what they feel about each other & life.

He literally drew stars over her scars & she became a warrior beating her traumas. The use of lights, mirrors, glass and reflections & transparent umbrellas in this drama is CINEMA.

Cool tonned & hazy frames until episode 16 & warm tonned and glossy frames from Episode 18 hinting at the thawing frost by the sunshine was so beautifully done.

It's an adaptation for decades to love. Definitely worth a rewatch every season when the first frost descends. Sang Yan is the Amazon Forest of mankind.

Loved Louis Hofmann in DARK so I have to watch it. It's a warm tale of courage and hope that's been told via a French blind girl & a German soldier in World War II days. It was surprising to see Nazi radio enthusiast, Werner talking in a non German accent & Ruffalo being British while in Paris.

The story gets tangled with flashbacks, cinematography was more focused than the emotional connect of protagonists. It could have been better, maybe it's just the timing when the world is at war again.

"Darkness lasts not even for one second when you turn on the light". The crux of the show perhaps...
