Veil of Shadows

is there any S2 in the horizion? Coz i want more

You know how we sometimes watch a drama, and as it ends, there's this overwhelming urge to throw up and then cry because it was such a journey - and all you just kind of want to do now is watch it all over again?
I've felt that way about very few dramas and veil of shadows has definitely got to be one of those. I finally also understand the appeal of lengthy dramas the journey was truly top notch, by the time I finished bingeing, all I wanted to do was revisit earlier scenes because you're literally watching the life of several... characters unfold it was so dam confusing at first but you understand eventually

Basically, all of them are saying that this is some high quality drama, plot is fast paced, everyone is beautiful and handsome, story is engaging with a well-paced tale. And to top it all, are the CPs! Yes, everyone is saying that the CPs are as good as ever and that aside from the two main couples Ju Jingyi Tian

My question is there gonna be S2 because upon their reunion, he no longer remembers WuShiGuang. JiLing becomes a florist's assistant and reunites with LuWuYiin a parallel timeline.

A Dark Fantasy Journey with Flawed Ending

From the first episode, Veil of Shadows draws you into a world that is both beautiful and unsettling. It carries Edward Guo’s familiar directing style, similar to My Journey to You and Fangs of Fortune, with no real departure from his established approach. The series is visually rich and atmospheric—one of those dramas where you pause just to admire the scenery, even as the story pushes you to keep watching.

The story follows Lu Wuyi, a young nine-tailed fox tasked with hunting a rogue demon, in a realm of hidden identities, mystical powers, and intertwined destinies. Instead of focusing on a single romance, the narrative splits across two main couples, each with their own secrets, conflicts, and emotional weight. This dual-pair structure keeps the story dynamic and unpredictable.

A recurring feature in Edward Guo’s productions is the presence of two leading ladies, seen before in My Journey to You (Lu Yuxiao and Yu Shuxin) and Fangs of Fortune (Chen Duling and Cheng Xiao). Veil of Shadows continues this pattern, reinforcing his preference for multiple female leads with distinct narrative importance.

The drama’s tone is dark and melancholic, which is one of its strongest elements. Emotional intensity is present in almost every episode—characters grieve, struggle, and confront inner conflicts in a way that often feels raw. At times, however, it can feel excessive, as if the production leans too heavily on tears even when the situation does not fully warrant it. The music, lighting, and cinematography enhance this mood, making even quiet moments feel heavy and lingering.

One stylistic point that stands out again is the vocal and emotional portrayal of the female leads. As in My Journey to You, where Lu Yuxiao’s subdued tone felt unusually restrained, Veil of Shadows features similar stylised speech patterns, particularly in Ju Jingyi’s character. The effect is intentional but may come across as unnatural or overly delicate, as if the characters are designed to appear distant, refined, and slightly detached from realism.

Character dynamics are a major highlight. Lu Wuyi and Ji Ling’s relationship evolves through tension and gradual trust, while Wu Shiguang and Wu Wangyan bring a mix of rivalry, mystery, and emotional complexity. With four central leads, the series avoids becoming a simple romance and instead builds multiple intersecting emotional arcs.

The cast—Ju Jingyi, Joseph Zeng, Chen Duling, and Tian Jiarui—deliver visually polished performances. Their styling, costumes, and on-screen presence are carefully crafted, strengthening the immersion in this fantasy world. The girls are so beautiful that they are a joy to watch.

The plot itself is layered, combining mythology, inner turmoils and personal vendettas. While engaging, it can become dense, with shifting alliances and hidden motives that demand attention. This complexity is part of its appeal, though it occasionally risks confusion. Later in the series, particularly after the “star stone” arc, the narrative becomes more chaotic. The introduction of time travel—resetting events by a few days—changes the stakes significantly. It resembles Edge of Tomorrow, but with repeated resets that allow deaths to be undone. This reduces the emotional permanence of loss, making tragic moments feel less final and therefore less impactful.

Visually, Veil of Shadows is consistently impressive. Costumes, sets, and lighting are meticulously designed, reinforcing the dark fantasy tone. Even dialogue-heavy scenes remain engaging due to strong visual composition.

Overall, Veil of Shadows is an emotionally charged fantasy drama with strong world-building, layered relationships, and striking visuals. It is best suited for viewers who enjoy complex narratives and darker emotional storytelling. While the plot can become complicated and occasionally uneven, the series remains immersive and memorable.

The ending, however, feels somewhat disconnected from the trajectory built over the first 28 episodes. It shifts into a resolution that seems almost too convenient, especially with the introduction of time-travel mechanics that effectively allow events to be reset. This “easy fix” approach undermines much of the emotional and narrative weight that had been carefully established earlier, as consequences no longer feel permanent.

It reminds me of the comical exchange in Avengers: Endgame, where Rhodey jokingly suggests the simplest solution—just go back in time and eliminate Thanos as a baby. That same kind of overly straightforward fix is what Veil of Shadows ultimately leans into, to my disappointment. By allowing deaths and major outcomes to be undone through temporal resets, the story weakens its own stakes, making earlier sacrifices feel less definitive than they were meant to be.

No matter how the universe changes, I will always be by your side

Edward Guo has such a signature style of directing that is so easy to spot. I've always been a fan of how he plays with the aesthetics in all of his dramas. Especially the dark, almost gothic kind of feel that all his dramas have which you don't get to see in a lot of other dramas.

This is a drama that's going to require you to use your own brain to fill in the little gaps. It's not something that you can just keep running in the background as you're doing other chores. I love when a drama requires you full attention while you're watching. There are so many details throughout the drama, and it leaves you itching to watch the next episode and find out what happens.

They really know how to make you feel with this drama. They show you how brutal life can be. Life isn't perfect, and things aren't always going to play out in the way that you imagine them. But they show that resilience is real, and if you truly wish for something, you'll always find a way to make if work even if it wasn't the most favourable outcome that you had hoped for. And if your someone like me who loves angst, you're going to absolute love this drama. It has the perfect amount of angst and sadness were it doesn't consume you whole, but it still lingers inside of you. The drama shows you how brutal life can be. And piece of advice, stay prepared with a box of tissues because you will need them (at least I did).

I'm aware that Ju Jingyi has always been notorious known for her unsatisfactory acting (trust me I've seen her previous works and I understand the criticism). But I believe that she's finally broken free from that curse with her acting in this. The role of Lu Wuyi suits her so perfectly and I actually quite liked her acting in this one. This drama has also made me discovered Ya Nan because his performance was just amazing (I knew he looked familiar when I saw it, turns out he was a member of Pentagon - for any kpop stans out there).

I have one complaint and one complaint only. And that is that I wished we could have seen more of Chen Duling and Joseph Zeng and the way their story progressed. I loved the dynamic between their characters and I wished that they had gotten more screentime to see the way their relationship grew.

(Also for anyone wondering why the rewatch value is lower in comparison, it's because I bawled my eyes out so much while watching this that I don't know if I'm ready to go through all of that again any time soon)

I can’t believe it’s over

I loved the whole drama. I can’t even put it into words about how I feel about this drama truly.

I just can’t believe that I finished this. Not because it was long, nor because I didn’t like it either. It’s because I waited from the beginning. From the day the first trailer dropped and the months I had to wait for the drama to finally come out with the first episode. I didn’t want to believe that the drama I waited so long for has ended. I’m literally in shambles thinking about what to watch now that this is over.

From the ost to the visuals, everything was so beautifully put together. Every episode made me cry, and every episode had its own twist. Everything came down to a wonderful conclusion.

Finally, I’m so glad I watched this when it aired. I’m so happy to finish this, and that I thank the actors and actresses and the production crew for making a beautiful drama. For filling my boring days with happiness, I thank you for the last time.

Veil of shadows : Secrets, Love, Tears

Veil of shadows is a fantasy cdrama that blended mystery and romance into a captivating narrative. This was among my most anticipated cdramas this year and it delivered well.

The basic setup of story is hunting down demons to maintain peace. It might seem simple at first, but it evolves into something far richer & more intricate. The plot is like a puzzle, that revolves around deep secrets & hidden identities which keeps you guessing till the very end. The execution was strongly engaging throughout & quite unpredictable. Even if the plot is complex, I could understand things easily when the episodes revealed it. But it took some time for me to grasp the ending. I have mixed feelings towards the ending, still satisfactory and memorable.

CAST & CHARACTERS
The casting was excellent overall. I was amazed by Ju jing yi and Tian Jiarui's performances. They portrayed the emotional depth of their characters beautifully, making it easy for me to connect with them. Jujingyi as Lu wu yi was so captivating onscreen, she handled both light, playful moments & intense emotional scenes effortlessly. Tian Jiarui showed clear layers in his character. He was majestic in this drama. JJY & TJR created a beautiful chemistry together. They were so sweet and memorable.

Joseph Zeng has a calm, yet strong presence here. As usual, Chen duling performance is very elegant and poised. Their chemistry is more grounded.

Apart from the romantic ones, Chenduling and jujingyi's sisterhood chemistry also stood out to me. They are so alluring and playful together.

The characters are interesting. Each of them feels distinct with their own motivations and emotional weight.

The love story of lu wuyi and ji ling is painfully beautiful. Even with all the heartbreaking moments, their connection and love was so heart warming.
Wu wangyan and wu shiguang relationship evolves from enemies to lovers. They have a beautiful stable and mature bond.

VISUAL & AUDIO FEAST
The drama has stunning cinematography, with nice quality CGI and VFX. The soundtrack stand out well too. I usually like the fight scenes of GJM dramas and this wasn't an exception. The costumes are especially beautiful.
I like GJM's artistry. However there are moments where excessive close-up shots feel unnecessary, especially during scenes like the puppet dance, I prefer a wider view. Some unnecessary convos/dialogues here and there too.

Overall, the drama is an interesting watch with good emotional payoff. But it is not for those who don't like complex plots. One has to stay focused to understand everything & is not a lighthearted watch. It explores themes of self discovery combined with sisterhood, brotherhood and romance. It is an emotionally and visually rich journey that stays engaging despite a few minor flaws.

Veil of Shallow Writing

I managed to make it to episode 11 and I’m honestly pretty disappointed. From all the reviews talking about the “crazy plot twists” and how well-written it is, I was expecting something way more fleshed out. But so far, I find it pretty predictable. Everything that happens just makes sense, but nothing has really blown me away or felt particularly surprising.

Another thing that bothers me is how empty everything feels. The relationships have so little depth or emotional weight. We’re just watching these characters do things and move from one plot point to another, but there’s barely anything underneath it. I don’t feel attached to any of them. Like, yeah, everyone is gorgeous, the styling is amazing and the visuals look great, but that’s pretty much where it ends for me.

And the dialogue… oh my god. It’s so cheesy and cliché that it genuinely feels like these people are just reading lines off a script. There’s no real soul behind what they’re saying, if that makes sense. I’m supposed to be feeling something during certain scenes, but I just… don’t.

The OSTs are another issue for me. There are WAY too many of them and they’re playing constantly, to the point where they actually ruin the immersion. And some of them are so damn loud that they feel more like noise than actual music Especially that one where someone literally just sighs… oh my god, that OST drives me insane.

The story itself also feels pretty flat to me. At this point, I don’t think I’m gonna continue.

I started watching it already expecting to drop it within the first few episodes

I have to admit—whenever I read the reviews of some fellow viewers, I can’t help but feel a twinge of envy for their expertise and depth of knowledge. I’ve seen people who followed Veil of Shadows since the very beginning of its filming last year, and all I can do is stand in awe. I wouldn’t even know where to begin with something like that. I can barely keep up with the sheer volume of Chinese releases each year. On top of that, I’m still watching Scarlet Heart—because, honestly, I could never just abandon the classics—and then there are countless productions from other countries demanding attention as well.

I truly wish I could embrace everything at once. But I lack the time, the stamina, and sometimes even the clarity to separate what’s worth it from what isn’t. And that was exactly how it felt with Veil of Shadows. I pressed play already half-convinced I would drop it within the first few episodes.

Seriously.

The twists felt so relentless, so wildly unpredictable, that I quickly assumed this just wasn’t for me.

Well… I couldn’t have been more wrong.

Not a single episode went by without me craving the next. I couldn’t take my eyes off the screen—not even for a quick popcorn break. I was genuinely afraid to blink and miss my passage into that other world… and honestly? What a show, my friends. What an unforgettable show.

There are so many strengths in this drama that it feels almost unfair to try to list them—they overflow, they exceed, they linger. But I’ll still try, even knowing it won’t be enough.

Costume Design: Simply breathtaking. Huang Wei—whose already flawless career includes work with Vogue and many other prestigious roles—left me with one lingering question: what dimension do you truly belong to? Because these costumes cannot possibly be from ours. They are otherworldly. Every piece feels like art in motion.

I’m not even sure how many tissues I went through just to wipe away the drool while admiring her creations.

Characters: Amid such a rich tapestry of personalities, each so distinct and vivid, one truth remained constant: every single character shines. Each carries a unique essence, yet all contribute meaningfully to the story’s beauty and depth. I loved them all—even the monstrous Jiu Ying. But my heart belongs, above all, to Ji Ling—our “false” Dragon Deity, who, to me, never stopped being divine, not even after the arrival of the Dragon’s tenth son. Tian Jia Rui delivered a performance nothing short of extraordinary. He didn’t just portray Ji Ling—he became him, in a way that feels utterly irreplaceable. To me, he is the soul of this story, its most powerful and unforgettable presence. I will never forget the sweetest little red fox.

And then there’s Lu Wuyi, the second character who captured my heart completely. Her life was nothing but fragments—broken, reconstructed, stripped of memory—until Ji Ling appeared in her world like a quiet miracle. She is, to me, one of the most unique and emotionally resonant characters I’ve encountered. Irreplaceable. Deeply human. Ju Jingyi portrayed her with such grace and sensitivity that it’s impossible not to be moved.

Screenwriting and Direction: Bold, inventive, and fearless. A story that dares to take risks—and succeeds. Its twists are not only surprising but purposeful, carefully woven without leaving behind loose ends or emotional gaps. Guo Jingming (Edward Guo) may be a deeply controversial figure in the artistic world, but talent like this cannot be denied. His early recognition now makes perfect sense to me. I haven’t explored his other works yet, but after Veil of Shadows, I feel compelled to.

Controversial or not, I genuinely hope he continues to share his vision with the world.

In the end, Veil of Shadows is not just one of the best productions of 2026—it’s an experience. One that lingers, captivates, and refuses to be forgotten.

Absolutely phenomenal.

GJM trap all over again, fall at your own risk!

Plot premise is good, but the execution!!

First of all, I’m an enjoyer of My Journey to You and a dropper of Fangs of Fortune, and I think that already describes my expectations for this drama. I knew about all the controversies surrounding GJM, and honestly, I already expected to hate this drama even before it aired (but still ended up watching it anyway… wtf 😭).

I watched the first 7 episodes in one sitting when only 15-16 episodes were out. Then I decided to pause because I knew the ending wasn’t going to be good. But eventually, I picked it up again, continued until episode 20, and then binge-watched the rest once the express package was released. I just couldn’t bring myself to give it a 9/10 because the drama is simply… disappointing.

It is a draining drama. It’s exhausting… Honestly, I don’t even know why I put myself through this misery, hoping for the impossible lol. But I would still recommend it, with LOTS of notes.

What I love:

I love the acting, especially from Ju Jingyi and Tian Jiarui. The rewind scenes were heartbreaking but also beautiful. Ji Ling’s appearance is definitely a highlight. That viral wires white robes reuters were actually the reason I started this torturous GJM production in the first place lol.

Tian Jiarui did a great job portraying multiple roles and showed clear growth from his previous performances. As for Ju Jingyi, I can finally see why she gets so much hype, she’s beautiful and delivers emotionally. Don’t tell me you didn’t cry when she longed for Ji Ling beside the puppet in that red robe 😭😭.

This is also my first time watching Zeng Shunxi, and I can confidently say I’m becoming a fan. Wu Shiguang feels like a role made for him, and he executed it really well. Chen Duling, as always, carries that elegant, refined aura perfectly.

I also want to highlight how well they executed certain emotional storylines, especially the creation of Li Jie. The bond between the brothers, the friendship, the sunshine and sunshine protector dynamic… it was all so touching. The devastation Li Jie felt when he realized he had lost Ji Ling forever, Ji Ling is his sunshine, his partner 😭.

Episodes 23-24 are crucial because they finally explain all the confusion from earlier episodes. You really have to survive all the plot twists to get there. And Longshen… he’s probably the loneliest character in the story, to the point that he develops a “loneliness fragrance.” That absolutely broke me 😭.

Overall, it’s a good drama if you’re looking for high-quality fight scenes, impressive CGI, beautiful visuals, and a strong OST. The action choreography and camerawork are mostly memorable.

What I hate:

The “equal billing” nonsense and the lack of screentime for Zeng Shunxi and Chen Duling. They are the biggest victims here.
I really hate how underdeveloped the “heir of the dragon deity” plotline is. Why was he written to be so weak? How did the story shift from a journey to find the 10th dragon deity and build the heir, the future… into a story about reminiscing over the creation of a spirit vessel? He is merely a supporter of the “real” dragon deity, no? Did I misunderstand the premise from the beginning? 🤔I could’ve accepted it if the drama had focused solely on the kingmaker storyline. But they promised EQUAL BILLING. Of course viewers are upset. We are mad! After 25 episodes, it feels like GJM suddenly remembered: “Oh right, we still need to make Wu Shiguang the dragon.” Like… where was the PACING all this time?

I’m not blaming the actors. This is solely on GJM. If the promotion hadn’t emphasized equal billing, this would’ve been more acceptable. They shouldn’t have marketed it as four main leads with equal billing. I would’ve been fine with the LWY-JL couple as the main leads, if only they had been honest from the start. IF ONLY. I genuinely hope Zeng Shunxi and Chen Duling were paid accordingly, as main leads. I don’t know why I fell into the same GJM trap again. At least I was strong enough to drop FoF lol.

Besides the billing issue (which I usually don’t even care about, but this time I felt betrayed), I also hate the censorship. The Han Ba arc was clearly cut, we CAN tell. The scenes about storytelling to get the room keys were missing, and I’m sure there were more beautiful moments between Su Jian and Han Ba that got removed. Cutting it from 40 episodes down to 29 is just… painful.

Yes, some issues might be due to censorship, but a lot could have been avoided if GJM had put more effort into balancing the story and respecting all his actors. He couldn’t balance the screentime, he couldn’t balance the romance, nor balancing the dragon deity-vessel storyline. He couldn’t even balance the favouritism between his favourites. Equal billing bulls*it. Wu Shiguang, as the heir, is so underpowered that Ji Ling has to appear everywhere to solve everything and save everyone. Like… Wu Shiguang, you such a spoiled little dragon brat prince. Why are you freeloading? /s. Even in the final confrontation with Jiu Ying, he still needed Ji Ling. I get it, I get it. The fake feels like the real, and the real feels like the fake. That’s the main plot of the story.

Well, the ending is quite surprising. It’s a HAPPY ENDING by GJM standards. IYKYK lol. The fact that simply being ALIVE is considered a happy ending is wild. No one turns into dust, no one is left waiting endlessly on the stairs. It’s an open ending for the Wuwu couple, but I choose to regard it as a happy one. They get to restart, and I know Wu Shiguang would succeed in courting Wu Wangyan again. They’re fated, and no one can separate them.

As for the *main* couple, it’s a happy ending in the sense that they forget their miserable past lives and are reborn as humans, just as Lu Wuyi wished. Their wish comes true, and that last scene at the flower shop! That smile! It’s Ji Ling’s, just like the first time Lu Wuyi saw him, the form she fell in love with. That’s enough for me *ehem. I guess I have low standards.

The ending is actually a rewind timeline and a different universe (so you watched 28.5 episodes for noth—oops lol), so there’s no Li Jie, no weak You Chi, and no dead people.

You either love or hate GJM dramas. It’s ALWAYS like this. Next time (maybe for Hidden Shadow), I’d rather wait until it finishes airing before deciding if I WANT TO TORTURE MYSELF AGAIN with another draining yet beautiful drama before starting it lol.

i fucking love this drama

i don't really write official reviews for dramas unless i absolutely hate them, but oh my days i loved this so much.

the cinematography, the colour grading, the fight choreography, the story, the acting, the cgi, the whole visual identity... just ughhhhh. everything came together so beautifully. every frame felt so deliberate, almost painterly at times, and the action scenes were actually creative instead of just people flying around for the sake of it. idk why this wasn't a huge ass hit because i genuinely, genuinely loved it.

this HAS to be ju jingyi's best role. she's improved so much since Novoland and i don't even think it's close. Lu Wuyi is such a lonely character, and somehow ju jingyi's usually blank, restrained eyes actually became one of the character's biggest strengths instead of a weakness. you can literally FEEL the isolation radiating off her. and those last few episodes bro i was holding it together SO well until she completely broke down over Ji Ling. ughghibkfdnhhhjdfksbnlkdfjvbjnsdksnfabjndfiognidsnviabdf. i actually cried!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

tian jiarui's Ji Ling was such an enigma for the longest time. i genuinely couldn't predict what he was going to do next, and i couldn't figure out where his loyalties or intentions actually lay. that's honestly such a rare experience in cdramas because most of them practically spoon-feed you every motivation and plot twist before they even happen. with this, i actually had to pay attention and think for myself. i LOVE plots that trust the audience enough to put the pieces together instead of explaining everything five times.

chen duling REALLY suits these mature 姐姐 roles. Wu Wangyan had such a calming, grounding presence that every time she appeared on screen, my eyes were immediately drawn to her. she's effortlessly charismatic without ever trying too hard, and she can really hold her own as a lead. she is such an amazing actress ughhh i love her so much.

zeng shunxi lowkey impressed me with Wu Shiguang because OMG he portrayed all of Wu Shiguang's conflicting emotions so well. he never made the character feel one-note, and you could genuinely see the constant push and pull between love, guilt, and grief.

the story itself was wonderfully complex, and i found it so refreshing not being spoon-fed every piece of information or every plot point. it trusted its audience, and that's something i wish more dramas would do. it never felt confusing for the sake of being confusing either!! it just let the mystery unfold naturally, and i was hooked the entire time trying to piece everything together.

i also loved how committed the drama was to its own visual style. it didn't just look pretty for the sake of it because the colour palette, lighting, costumes, and cgi all worked together to create this really distinctive atmosphere that made it stand out from every other xianxia/wuxia i've watched recently.

i think this director did a bloody good job. put him in a cage with zeng qing jie, fei zhenxiang, and guo feng, and don't let any of them out until they've made another ten dramas together.

Won my heart!

It definitely had a slow start, but once we got to know the characters, the story really began to shine. I won't lie though... I was honestly just waiting for Ji Ling and Lu Wu Yi (A'Wu). I know they aren't technically the main couple, but in my heart, they absolutely are.

This drama put me through every emotion possible. I cried, I got confused, I screamed like a fangirl, and I ugly cried in the corner more times than I can count. There were also way too many characters played by the same actors, so I had to take my time watching it. Looking back, I'm actually glad I did because experiencing this story slowly made it even more enjoyable.

This series is directed by Edward Guo, and he's become one of my favorite directors over the years. I absolutely love how layered and complex his storytelling is. There are so many characters, gorgeous cinematography, and scenes filled with symbolism and promises that come back later in the story. You can definitely feel his signature style from Fangs of Fortune all throughout this drama. The colors, the CGI, the incredible OST, and even seeing familiar actors again immediately pulled me in.

Things I loved:

Ji Ling & A'Wu.
This one is easy. Their relationship completely stole the show for me. Every scene between them had me emotional. Whether Ji Ling was smiling or crying, I was crying right along with him. They own my heart.

Joseph's acting.
This is actually the first drama where I've really gotten to watch Joseph's acting, and wow... I didn't realize how talented he is. He completely won me over, and now I'm actually excited to check out more of his dramas.

The Painted Skin adaptation.
Realizing this drama is an adaptation of Painted Skin made me so excited. If you've been watching Chinese dramas and movies for years, you'll probably remember the 2008 movie because of how heartbreaking it was. I know there have been several adaptations over the years, but that's still the version I remember most. This adaptation starts with that familiar sadness, but it slowly grows into something much deeper. Through Xiao Wei, we see how far people are willing to go just to have one more day with the person they love. I loved Shi Guang and Wang Yan's story, but no matter what, my heart belongs to Ji Ling and A'Wu.

The cast.
There were so many familiar and new faces. Every time someone I recognized appeared, I was literally screaming. Seeing Jolin Jin, Chang Hua Sen, Xia Zhi Guang, and Wang Duo made me so happy.

The OST.
Another huge highlight. It gave me the same emotional feeling as Fangs of Fortune. There are so many beautiful songs, but my favorite has to be "Misty Hours" by Xin Liu. I know it's meant for Shi Guang and Wang Yan, but every time I hear it, I think about Ji Ling and A'Wu instead. The lyrics just fit them perfectly in my eyes.

Overall, I'm giving this drama a pretty high score because I genuinely loved almost everything about it. Even the happy ending had me tearing up. After everything they went through, seeing him cross time just to bring her a huge bouquet of the flowers she loved... yeah, I was crying all over again. It was such a beautiful way to end their journey, and I'm so glad I stuck with this drama until the very end.
