worth watching, a story that idol fans will find interesting

even though the story kind of dragged in the middle, i think it recovered in the last episodes.
the show is a psychological thriller and since the start it makes you want to know what really happens in the group. it is interesting, suspenful and entertaining. some episodes weren't as good as others, i think the best episodes where the first six or so and the last two episodes, but i still think it is worth the watch, specially if you're into idol groups such as AKB48 and that sort of stuff. if you're into AKB48 you will find this group to be very familiar :)

i don't want to spoil anything, so i will just make a summary of why i liked this show: the thing i liked the most i that there is not good or bad characters, all of them are complex and you will find yourself very conflicted about their actions. there will be characters that you will think are likeable doing awful stuff and characters that may seem like awful people doing nice stuff, so it is pretty much like real life, there is no good or bad (in most of the cases) and i really appreciate that in a show. also, it gives you a glimpse of all the shitty stuff people in idols groups go through and all the stupid rules they have to follow in order to maintain this image of a perfect human being. there's no such thing as a perfect human being, and i think that's the moral of this story.

oh, and if you like anime or manga like madoka magica or magical girl site, you'll probably like this as well because there are cute girls with cute outfits but everything is fucked up.

worth watching

the acting, the characters and the music are all amazing.
it was fun for most of the time. it was very interesting to learn about chinese opera and i found it very beautiful and enjoyable.
the characters are well built, they all have their own story you want to know more about. my favorite character was definitely chen renxiang and i'm still bitter he died because i wanted to see more about him.

it is so pleasing to watch, but at some point the story just goes downhill. there are so many things that aren't explained very well or that just aren't explained at all. the end is kind of disappointing, but i understand that is because it is a bl so yea.

- Story

The plot isn't nothing special and at the begining it is very boring. It took me 16 episodes to watch more than two or three episodes a day and I skipped a lot, but after episode 25 I couldn't stop watching and found it more interesting. Still, the plot isn't interesting but it is fine if you just want to watch something without a heavy plot.

- Acting/Cast

I think most of the people who already watched can agree that the main couple is enough reason to watch it, I agree too. The chemistry is amazing and the acting overall is good. I didn't like the second couple but I couldn't say their acting was bad, I just didn't enjoy their dynamic at all.

Bai Lu and Leo Yunxi played Jiang Jun and Yuan Shuai so well! I don't have the words to describe how much I loved the characters, even though I used to geniunely hate Yuan Shuai at the begining and found Jiang Jun kind of boring, but they both grew on me and became one of my favorite cdrama couples. I hope we can see them acting together again

- Music

The music is nice! I have some of the songs stuck in my head now. They're very good.

- Rewatch value

I don't think I would rewatch it the whole drama, but I'd definitely rewatch some of their funny and cute moments because I already miss Jiang Jun and Yuan Shuai.

i just finished watching this drama and made this account just to write this review.

if you're reading this wondering if you should watch, i think you should! this isn't the kind of drama i usually watch, actually i think this is my first time watching this kind of drama, and i enjoyed it very much.

there are so many things i was thinking when i was about writing my review but now i find it hard to put in words how much i loved this drama. from the plot to the characters to the music it was really fun to watch (even though i cried a lot) and 48 episodes didn't feel long at all. there are some parts that are a little bit boring and also a lot of sad stuff that i found unnecessary and that's why i am giving it a 8.5 overall.

but still, i strongly recommend it to anyone! also the main couple is one of the cutest i've seen; they have a beautiful relationship despite of going through so much to be together. i love them very much ^^
