Another excellent work by Gu Man. This novel/drama is a slow-burn romance that quietly builds deep emotions between the male and female leads through various events. The story gradually leads to a climactic moment that makes readers squeal with excitement. After that comes the sweet, satisfying payoff — warm, touching, and emotionally fulfilling. It’s the kind of sweetness that stays with you for weeks after finishing the novel/drama.
As with Gu Man’s usual style, the story is well-structured with clear plotlines, and the dialogue is especially engaging.
For anyone who find the second male lead annoying, try opening your mind and seeing him as the male lead instead. You’ll notice that his personality is very similar to male leads in many other novels — a painful, deeply emotional kind of love. But the romance we are truly waiting for from the actual male lead is pure indulgent bliss. Gu Man clearly delivers this as a response to all those “cold and stubborn” male leads (which usually feel more like second male leads anyway).
If you can patiently get through the parts where the male lead doesn’t appear much, Gu Man will definitely not disappoint you with the sweet, heart-fluttering scenes waiting ahead.
