When this drama first came out, I wasn’t very interested. But later, I decided to watch it and finished it in 2 days!!! (Lol skimmed through unimportant parts) Anyways, second lead syndrome killed me, he stole my heart. This drama is very different in the roles and approach of the characters.
SPOILER WARNING:
Su Fu (Second male lead) mainly took the whole love interest plot- this is very surprising but I think it took away some elements of how the male lead is usually the one where the female lead is in love with over the second male lead. I really rooted for Su Fu and Ran Yan. But, Ran Yan and Xiao Song fall in love towards the end (the ML was in love with her but Ran Yan loved Su Fu.). This drama has a happy ending where the main actors are together. The ending has a cliff hanger... not on the main couple but Su Fu. In the last episode, Su Fu sacrificed himself and died. As a huge Asian drama fan, I always try to predict what may happen. After that scene, I felt like Su Fu would actually still be alive and he was. I say it ended on a cliff hanger because Su Fu is still in love with Ran Yan and there was an ominous chill. But I really doubt they would make another season of this drama. If they do a sequel, maybe it would focus on Su Fu but I don’t know how they would expand and create another drama plot.
ANYWAYS, I really recommend this drama! You will experience an emotional roller coaster ride and even question yourself on who Ran Yan should’ve ended up with.
