The angst and all the other emotions in this drama will surely overwhelm you.
The acting is SUPERB. I keep crying at every heart breaking episodes, when Xiaofeng cries, it just makes you wanna wail as well. She makes you cry everytime she cries. She's that GOOD. !!

The story plot is also very good! Knowing this is from Fei Wo Si Cun's book (all her books are heart wrenching ones) I got interested right away. I love dramas that is full emotions even though the ending is always tragedy, but it's a story you wouldn't wanna stop.

I watched the last episode last night, and I say one of the most beautiful female lead who died for me. Though sacrificing her life is very sad, and not very wise at all. But for me it's the biggest revenge for those who remains, Li Chengyin grew old and still misses and longs for Xiaofeng, I cried when he was old and still thinks XiaoFeng is still alive somewhere. This is the biggest revenge of Xiaofeng to him. BUT SO GLAD THEY MADE A MODERN REINCARNATION TO BOTH OF THEM. My heart was pacified because in the new life they are still husband and wife, but this time no scheming to separate them. So glad life in the modern life is not as strict as those in old days.

I RECOMMEND THIS TO THOSE NON C-DRAMA FANS, the acting, the costumes, the plot, the music, the actors and cinematography is 20/10. This is even better than some historical kdramas I've seen the before. There is this unique twist only you can find in Cdramas.
