The Cruel Reality of Showbiz...
This drama showed you the dark and realistic side of entertainment industry. How easily you can gain power & fame, yet also how easily you can lose them. We follow Mo Xiang Wan (starring Qin Lan) as a showbiz manager and how she seems so cruel & cold, but in reality, she really isn't as strong as she seems to everyone. Watching Mo Xiang Wan's character growth was a rewarding journey. I didn't think she was as heartless as they made her seem like in the beginning, it was just that people didn't see her warm and humane side. You get a close look of the celebrities she managed, too. Even though I found Lin Xiang super whiny and spoiled, I honestly felt for her in the end. I didn't find any dull moment in this drama to be honest. I was worried after reading the spoiler comments down below. Yes, things were more intense in the first 20 episodes, but the rest was still very interesting for me.
I was surprised on how much I loved the drama. I was interested in this drama for Qin Lan & Godfrey Gao. It took courage for me to start watching this, because I didn't know if I had the courage to watch this without crying when seeing Godfrey's face. It took a couple of episode, but I mean I was still crying a good bit, cause the many things that were happening in the drama. They both delivered their characters really well. But I was also really impressed by a lot of the other actors and actresses. I was the most surprised by Wang Zi Yi's character, Xu Ling, and how well he emoted with his eyes.
I love the OST. Added them all to my playlist and have been listening it on loop. If you read the lyrics of each song, they perfectly fit the drama as a whole.
It's been so long since I have watched a modern Chinese drama and loved it this much. You could tell the production quality was top notch. Highly recommend this if you don't mind getting out of that dream bubble to see the cruel reality of the entertainment industry.
P.S. That last shot of the last episode was.... just heartbreaking for me though. I cried (though I cried plenty throughout the drama.) Watch it and you will know why.
