This is for people who want a deeper understanding of the Human Condition

Don't just blindly trust the bad reviews and judge for yourself. This drama is something that can only be judged once they get to the end. This series is like a food for the soul, makes you ponder about the human condition and moral values. Some people may get bored because they don't understand the long journey, but once you reach the end, everything makes sense and clicks into place, and it makes you want to go back and rewatch it. It is thought provoking. The emotional value it brings is also amazing.

So it is not a popcorn drama for people who want a cliched trope like a domineering CEO and hot scandals. It does try to cater to a wider worldview because it encompasses many characters, and so the world-building feels more complete and not only about 2 people's romance; their actions actually affect the world.

Plus, it has great acting and comedic moments, so it won't be boring. It starts getting meaty around episode 25. But you won't be able to appreciate the second half without the beginning either! Also, because it being 3 iterations, we can also see and analyse what the same people who had different circumstances & spiritual journey would do.

I would like to say that I've been watching both TanSongyun & HouMinghao's dramas, and I think that they are both great seasoned actors, and this work is really top-notch and beautiful. HMH delivers different characters each time, so don't expect this character to be anything like others he has done; just a little hint remains the same. The songs are great, they fit the emotional theme well, the CGI is smooth and beautiful, I heard it's big-budget CGI by the people behind Nazha, the animated movie.

For some people who feel there aren't enough kissing scenes, "Love" is not only about physical touch. There are different love languages and small nuances that make this work elegantly beautiful.

For those people who disagree with the ending, I feel like it's just nature taking its course. I also believe this show delivers on the premise that nobody is perfect and everyone has inherent strengths and weaknesses. If everyone was thinking more wiser & more long term then none of this drama happens hahaha! I agree that even I wanted a different deus ex machina occurrence but this ending makes the lesson that we can learn from this more hard-hitting and like the song in episode 38, "beautiful".
