This drama is interesting....

What went wrong?
The Length of the Drama, way too long. 40 Episodes is excessive. It is a very slow burn. I know Johnny Huang acts in plenty of long dramas but he is exceptional actor with good report with the audience. If his dramas were scaled back to 24 episodes they would be so much better!

What went right?
I felt the character development for the supports towards the end. Lot had boring irrelevant dialogue at the start but it picked up momentum late. I was very invested in the side stories of the supports.

What would I change?
The Main Leads direction in the end. I will be honest, I am a big Johnny fan but felt the ending didn't do him right. Li Qin was good as Female Lead but didn't want me seeing more of her if I am being honest, Johnny yes, Li Qin no!

The drama earnt a good score for its ending. Very sad endings for the supports, not the mains. The supports really did come alive and save this drama to a good score.
