I'm glad I watched this drama despite the negative reviews.
Especially the negative comments about the main actor Alan Yu are unjustified in my opinion.
Hi played a character with severe illness and injured legs. His movements were therfore rather stiff and, as noted in some comments, robotic. I did not feel that way at all. It was his interpretation of this character. And he did a very good job. Alan Yu has a great charisma a wonderful soft and tender voice und gives this character of Jing Ci a kind of untouchability. Jing Ci had to learn to suppress his feelings to protect himself and his beloved ones. Alan Yu succeeds brilliantly in this in his play.
All actors and actresses did a very good job. It's a story about friendship, trust and unconditionally love.
It gives us a lecture what hate, striving for power and one's own inadequacy can do to and with people.
