This show started off on a high note and it got much more exciting as the episodes progressed. I recall camping on Youtube every Wednesday evenings to wait for the episodes to be released! However, it lost its initial glamour and steam in the later episodes. While it had an appealing storyline, it was really draggy towards the end, which is such a pity because it had so much potential!

Ady An and Jeremy Tsui put on an astounding performance, and there were a few episodes that left me in tears especially in Jeremy Tsui's scenes - his portrayal of grief and sadness is truly one that will break your heart :'( Ady An has a powerful screen presence as well and I really liked her portrayal of Dugu Ban Ruo. However I can't say the same for the Hu Bing Qing-Andy Zhang pairing. Their acting was a little stiff, their facial expressions were unvaried and rather boring in particular that of Andy Zhang's. He has this frown that looks the same in all of his frowning scenes... Oh I forgot to mention!! I don't think the Dugu sister's father is mentioned in the cast on mydramalist, but his acting was truly 10/10!!! Fatherly love tends to get me all the time but this was really lovely :')

Despite the flaws in terms of the overall storyline and acting, the music was beautiful! There is a compilation on youtube of the 4 songs in the OST, my personal favourites being that of ?????(the duet) and ??????(by Li Yu Gang) - you can PM me if you want the link to the compilation :D
