Firstly the cons. I was at first put off by the fact that it was 70 episodes, I wouldn't have tried to watch it if I wasn't trying to get over a drama I just finished watching. Secondly I didn't like some of ning yi's expressions especially when he is trying to fake sadness it feels so fake,too fake, probably it's the plot but I didn't feel it at all. Now for the prosssss????. I WAS HOOKED FROM THE START!!!. The story flowed smoothly, The romance was gradually built, The timing for each event was right, it brought out various moods, anger, sadness, tears of joy and sadness, heartache. It was beautiful. The scenes were also beautifully timed. I wasn't sad that I watched it. Even tho I wished it ended differently but I understood why it had to happen that way so I had some sort-of peace with it tho I still wish. I really recommend it especially if you have the time because it's not a drama you can really fast forward or skip some episodes.
