I signed up just to review this series!!!

This is my first time watching any Asian dramas. But I completely LOVED IT!!!

Compared with American dramas this has more to be discovered, twists and turns, and love that was born from pain and foolishness that progressively grew to everlasting happiness! Or does it? Lol

American dramas focus on heated romantic scenes and schemes based on what they want for themselves but in this drama everything was done to save the family name, avenge ones past thru strategy and endurance... other than the villains of course who were out for themselves.

What I liked:
ML: was fierce and strong. Independent yet reliable, intelligent and very skilled at what he did. He seemed virtually indestructible. Until... well I’ll let you find out. *Go watch it* LOL
FL: was also strong yet vulnerable. Childish at times but also very witty, which became valuable in the end. She took a lot of pride in her family and didn’t back down especially when it came to... *if you watch you’ll soon know* LOL
Actors/actresses: alike settled quite nicely in their roles! Acting I felt was very real for each character. They all had their very own personalities, were able to portray their feelings, and made their characters their own (in my opinion anyway). :)
Many many questions: Lol I found myself asking those questions along with them in thought.
Questions were answered. (Except my own I came up with my head) ?
Culture: I am not Asian at all and not familiar with the Chinese culture but I discerned respect, tradition and family ties to be very evident in this series. Every family assumed their roles passed on from generation to generation.
Plot twists: many, many of them! You’ll never get bored. (Unless I am just easily entertained) lol
Delicately placed emotional scenes: made me feel like I was falling in love all over again too! Lol I had to keep going to find out just how it would end!!! *No I won’t tell you* lol
Easy to follow along: although this was in Chinese, a foreign language to me, it was easy to follow. Just a few back pedals in each episode, a pause button here and there. But as I watched I was able to discern more and more without the need to go back and pause to read.

What I didn’t like:
There were one or two things that didn’t get answered for me involving some of the villains in the storyline.
There were also incomplete (I felt) scenes. None of them were of great importance tho.
The music: although I’ve come to hummm the tune in the main song, they played it so much I thought that was the only song and accepted it. Until... just several episodes from the conclusion they started to play different songs lol I was like what? ???

Final thoughts:
I definitely would watch it again! Maybe not every single episode lol there were just one or two episodes I thought were wasted a little on lengthened scenes.
But overall I recommend that you watch it for yourself. I think most will fall in love with the lead characters and the storyline line *especially towards the end*.
So go watch it!!!

Thank you for this show!!!
