This was a unique drama that I’m surprised was even allowed to air in China, considering its themes and lack of propaganda. Probably next year it will be banned, so watch it now while you have the chance! I liked the main lead and his struggle with his “evil” side. I don’t think the other side was really evil, so much as obsessed with his former love. Johnny’s acting was believable and I felt the chemistry with the female lead, though other reviews have not. I think you have to get past the first maybe 6-8 episodes before the female lead stops being as annoying and you can start believing in her character. Overall the acting was better than most cdramas, the story had a good ending, the production and effects held up well, and it kept my interest all 35 episodes.
