A Mini that does not disappoint!
I went into this with zero expectations and I was not disappointed.I'm not going to recap the show because the synopsis is pretty accurate. I want to start off with Leo Yang. From his looks, to his voice, to his effortlessly cool idgaf attitude, this man is TAILOR MADE for these types of roles. Not only is he a fantastic actor, he kills the action scenes, and I'm pretty sure he could have chemistry with a rock. He has major bedroom eyes and he's just so nice to watch. Even tho A Sen seems cocky and rather dubious, his true nature is very loving and protective. At one point in the show, Ling Yi is injured and unconscious in the hospital. A Sen has a devastating breakdown. Leo does an excellent job at portraying the desperation A Sen is feeling as he's begging her to wake up. It was a beautiful scene.
Ling Yi is an interesting FL. She's very socially awkward and timid. At least, she appears timid. She's actually extremely strong and determined. She doesn't let herself be intimidated by the dangerous people around her who are a constant threat to her safety. She's not your typical naive girl who needs to be saved. Does A Sen save her? Yes lol. But Ling Yi would throw herself in harms way just as quickly for him, and she does just that several times. Ling Yi is a girl who had to grow up very quickly and that's definitely why she meshes so well with A Sen. Obviously, their lives and experiences are very different. A Sen has spent a decade of his life going to great pains to maintain his identity within the group which means that for a decade, his life has been on the line 24/7. Ling Yi lost the only family she had after an already traumatic childhood and has been alone ever since. They both had very hard lives for different reasons but that's what made them work so well together.
Being that this is a 10 minute per episode mini, there are going to be plot holes and illogical turns of events. If you're an an avid mini watcher like I am then you'll know that this is just the norm. In this case, none of the inconsistencies hindered the plot imo. A Sen magically showing up to save Ling Yi just became funny to me at some point, in a good way. Our leads got together fairly quickly. Their kisses were a delight to watch and there are plenty! There is (kind of?) a 2ML, he's Ling Yi's ex. She has no desire to be with him and is completely devoted to A Sen. And our 2ML is respectful of their relationship (mostly because he's scared of A Sen). He never tries to interfere. So, if you hate love triangle's as much as I do, you're safe from that in this show. Another dreaded enemy of mine, noble idiocy, is not present here. A Sen tried it. He really did. But Ling Yi knew him too well by this point and figured out his plan and was not about to let him put his life at risk by himself.
With angsty mini's, you never know until the final episode if you're going to end up happy of heartbroken. Here, I was left very happy and satisfied.
So, with all that being said...... Go! Watch it! Right now! :)

Great chemistry and skinship but frustrating plot
I was extremely excited to start this show after watching the trailer and I just finished the last two episodes today. Let me start by saying that I was fully expecting a tragic ending. We all know how ill-fated lovers tend to turn out (I’m looking at you Tale of Love and Loyalty). So I almost didn’t watch it because i’m not a fan of sad endings.This show had soooo many tropes that I hate but I just couldn’t stop watching it. Mostly because of the chemsitry between the leads. This show had a surprising amount of skinship, especially in episodes 25 and 26 and it was believable. The kisses were great. Acting wise, I thought the ML was really good for not having a lot of acting experience and this being his first lead role. The FL acting was great, she was very natural to me. Especially the more complicated emotional scenes. The 2FL, a.k.a. the villain is your typical scorned woman turned murderous villain. Her character wasn’t explored much since this is a mini drama and a lot of things get overlooked or left out of mini’s. So her reasons for doing all the horrible things she did is really immature and shallow. I thought the actress did a decent job playing such a despicable character.
Now, as far as the story goes, what frustrated me was the amount of misunderstandings. I’m not exaggerating when I say that the leads would get half an episode, maybe a whole one, of happiness and then another misunderstanding would pop up. And the biggest one that caused the most damage was completely unnecessary. If Ling Xiao had communicated with Wan’er about why he was doing what he was doing, a lot of misery would have been avoided but he chose the noble idiocy path and broke her heart beyond belief and that was the beginning of the end.
For the ending, since we got an open ending and Ling Xiao was still barely alive when Wan’er found him, I’m going to choose to believe that he lived and he found the cure to his poison and they lived happily ever after.
All in all, it was a good show but just be warned that you might be frustrated for a good portion of the show. I wouldn’t rewatch the whole show but I would watch the happy scenes between the leads again.
