this drama... i watched through episode after episode filled with anticipation only to slowly lose interest until finally asking myself "...that's it?" at the end. it felt like freshly brewed tea slowly going cold without ever being drunk. just a waste.

what this drama does have is amazing character arcs. i sometimes felt compelled to continue watching only to see where my most beloved characters would end up. sadly, the rest of the writing is not comparable.

free my man yan xun, he did it all but i don't care!
