Before starting with this review, let me just put it out there. This review is based on my opinions and how I personally feel about this drama. So let's start. There are a lot of good things to say about this drama so I quite don't know here to start but let me start with the cast. Yang yang. The best thing ever that happened to this show is him. This is my first drama of him and now I'm a fan. His smile is to die for DAMNIT and umm he's hot, smoking hot, smoking spicy hot. Moving on, the cast was perfect. Every one of them portrayed their characters flawlessly. You will feel sad for them, you will feel happy for them, you will feel frustrated for them, they'll make you feel everything they feel. You'll even come to love the opponents. There's also character development for a lot of characters.

Secondly, the story. I know this is based on a novel but still I want to praise the story. I heard from some people that a lot of things from the novel were changed in here which acted as a great disappointment for them. So for people who wants to read the novel too, read it after watching this to enjoy the drama properly. Since I watched it without reading the novel, I really enjoyed it a lot. This drama will leave you hooked like something. The drama will move slowly but steadily. You might get bored at first but it gets extremely engaging. I personally found myself get intrigued from episode 8 but it might differ from person to person. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to binge it since it has 40 eps but I did watch it continously.

Another reason to enjoy this drama is the ost. It doesn't matter if you know chinese or not, you will thoroughly enjoy the ost. Every song is a masterpiece. I felt the songs touch my soul. When no words are said, the songs talk to you.

Lastly, the next reason I enjoyed the drama is the life lessons. They're honestly so inspiring and motivating. It showed the characters' personal growth which was so enlightening. You learn about what life really is. You learn about how you should just go with the flow of life and not question it. You learn that a new beginning follows every end and to never give up on your dreams no matter what or who says. So this was an awesome watch for me and I could rewatch it a thousand times and never get bored. If you decide to watch this, prepare yourself for a rollercoaster of emotions.

Happy watching!!
