A must watch!
This drama is definitely one of the best among those of its genre! I will start off by applauding how everything about it is consistent enough for one to be hooked on watching it from beginning till end. Despite being more saturated on the mystery and thriller side, there’s just the right amount of romance to give it a perfect balance without making it overwhelming or underwhelming.
If you are wondering whether to watch it or not, here’s your sign to go for it! It really is that good. They really did justice to the drama through the casting, acting and storyline. If you are looking for a drama with a lot of fluffy romantic scenes this definitely isn’t the one🫠 It is more inclined towards the investigative, police department, crime scenes and suspense side.
A noteworthy point is how we are dealing with strong leads. Each of them had a background story which was heartbreaking and somewhat traumatic but the drama didn’t dwell much on that to sink the bigger picture rather, it was a stepping stone to allow the bigger picture to shine. Throughout the story you can clearly see how we are dealing with clever people, yes misunderstandings arose but they were quickly resolved, decisions were made rationally without clouded judgement.
The plot twists in this drama are bound to keep you glued to the screen as some unexpected and thrilling moments arise. A psychological tag should be added on the list because most parts of the story showed how it’s rooted in the psychological aspects of one’s life. The main highlight of the drama is how major events in the drama were drawn towards or due to psychological issues. Be it the villain’s tendencies, the male lead’s personality post traumatic events and even some side characters’ habit were greatly psychologically rooted.
There’s no single actor or actress l can pinpoint who failed to bring their respective character to life. What’s most impressive is how the whole cast portrayed their roles so precisely that one can actually be tagged along in the emotions they conveyed. Umm l hated to be one to say this but this drama’s main villain has to be the sassiest one l have seen so far! Zhao Xun absolutely nailed the double villain role without a doubt keeping us intrigued on what was in store for us next. I do not intend to spoil too much for you but the villain was brought to life in a top tier manner! Words cannot fully describe how Jing Bo Ran carried his role through all the rollercoaster emotional moments his character had to endure. Jiang Cheng’s story still left me with so many questions and emotions racing through my mind because it really progressed in an unexpected manner. The female lead took the script and said, “Hold my beer!” It’s impressive when a great and admirable fictional character is brought to life in a spectacular manner.
One thing that may make one skeptical about watching the drama is the relationship dynamics among the leads. At some point l too was frustrated on how the love story was going to unfold 😫 However, l like that as the story progressed and the truth unfolded everything became clearer. Be it the misunderstandings or confusion, it’s all justified and understandable😂. We were not left second guessing who’s who or what the female lead really wanted. It’s also refreshing to watch how the female lead was a decisive woman who did not have the tendency to lead someone on aimlessly. Out of all the relationships in this drama, Jiang Han Sheng and professor Wan had the most wholesome one! He really played a father figure to him throughout the drama in a really admirable manner.
Though romance is not an overly explored subject in the drama, l liked the relationship between Han Sheng and Jin, it wasn’t a sugar coated one. They didn’t take their marriage lightly regardless of how it started. Though it wasn’t puppy love, it’s the subtle details and acts they did between them which made their love story progression tear jerking. Initially, it was irritating how sometimes the male lead seemed to have low self esteem drawn from his and the female lead’s past experiences but l admire how they showed us both leads’ character development throughout the show. It’s plausible how by the end of the show we could clearly see how they had matured and grown through their past experiences blooming emotionally individually and as a couple. I like how the three leads dealt with their relationship maturely, putting what was important first before anything else!
Lastly, the ending was a cherry on top! “Among all the sunsets, secrets and regrets, l am glad l have you!”
