I am going to start by saying the tags for this show doesn't do it justice. When I read the tag Obsession I thought it would be minor but nope every character in this show was obsessed with someone. Don't get me wrong I'm not ragging on it because I thought that made the show more endearing.
Now as for who played all the characters I thought they were sweet and all had good chemistry together. You could tell they all worked well together.
Honestly, I couldn't help but cry at some parts but found myself rewatching the parts all over again to cry some more. I understand that this was an adaption for a BL novel and honestly you could tell that Zhao and Shen loved one another, especially in the ending. One of them even asked to die I won't say who to be with the other. Some of the characters were flakes at how they choose to be but I figured there have to be some bumps in the road for the main characters.
I love the dedication between all the characters along with the loyalty to stand by each other even when the feelings weren't the same. The brotherhood and sisterhood in this show made you want a bond like that. Honestly made me feel like no one in the world would wait 10,000 years for someone to come around again so that part was a little unrealistic unless you really loved the person you were waiting for.
AS for the ending, I was a bit confused at first but then I rewatched it and noticed what they did.
I plan on reading the novel now.
I highly recommend this drama. You don't need romance to be in the title for you to know it's there.
Also, the music came in at the best parts during the scenes. They picked the best songs. I particularly found myself listening to the intro every time I started a new episode which was honestly rare for me with any show.
JUST saying this is, in my opinion, a tragedy.
