Masterpiece, award winning worth drama
Masterpiece, the best chinese drama for me so far, even better than similar theme kdramas (start up, maybe?) in terms of closeness to reality, the chemistry of the casts, life lesson and the struggle. I dont watch many chinese dramas nowadays, i watch a lot k dramas and some lakorns, but since i watched cdramas, taiwanese drama since 1990-2000an era (F4 era), i can say that this is the best chinese drama ever. The c dramas i watched before has a lot of fillers boring scene, uncontinuity storyline, unrealistic story, but this one change my mindset of how a good chinese drama can also be made.Finished watching it and i wish i could erase my memory just to rewatch it over and over again!
Plus points:
- amazing cinematography, aesthetic sceneries, how they shoot the camera angle are at the top notch level
- beautiful soundtracks
- engaging storyline, minimal filler scenes, even almost every little thing means something later
- success story always encourage us and motivating, how our FL never give up
- plot twists, and many of it, story telling runs smoothly consistent
- chemistry between the lead, the flirting, both of ML and FL are bad ass in nature
- ML and FL visuals....clothes..who would argue with this?
- character developments, they all learning to become better person in the end, nobody's perfect
- side characters such as aunt Yue, workers like uncle Zhang, who stays beside and help Jianghu during her lowest time - very touching
- smart ML and FL
What i don't like
- last episode is not enough for us - can we get extension episode please

Masterpiece
Pros:Engaging storyline : The only BL that makes me impatiently waiting for each episode.
The casts : i never saw any of the main leads before, but they surely know how to act.
Visuals, i mean that's what makes me want to watch to show at the first time. It's rare to have a beautiful male lead in KBL.
Plot twist after plot twist. You never know what will surprise you.
Flashbacks at the end of each episode.
No boring moments. No filler scenes.
Cons:
Too short. How i wish this is a regular 16 episode of 60 minutes korean drama.

Hidden gem
At first i was skeptical to watch this after reading the synopsis but after watching the first and second episodes the storyline offers so much more than what it's written in the synopsis.What i love about the drama:
- the hotel background : i always love hotel theme ever since kdrama hotelier from 2000an
- business struggling, bad guys, SFL cinderella syndromes
- ML and his brother, and reconciliation with his father
- ML with emotional bagage and painful past
