This track… it’s almost there you know. I bet a live performance of this would go off.

This one however, best banger from a Cdrama I’ve seen so far.

Did I mention these pipes go off?

When all is said and done, from the BGM to the titled tracks, this was one banger of an OST.

Gripes:
This show was pretty epic, and is one of my favourite Chinese drama’s so far. If I had one gripe, they could have cut the last 2 episodes and incorporated the important things from it in the last episode. Maybe by cutting down on the flashbacks, we didn’t need so much backstory. But if you were stressed and binging, the last 2 eps are relaxing and rewarding.
Re-watch:
**Would I watch it again?**
Yeah
**Would I watch it with my brother?**
I did, he was the one who found it.
**Would I watch it with my kid?**
I would when she’s older, but some of the scenes are a bit too adult.
Final Thoughts:
Probably the best Cdrama of 2024. The reed pipes hyped you up every episode. There was also that banger OST. And most importantly a happy ending. The couple took far too long to get together, but ultimately this drama had enough going on for you not to worry about it. There was action in almost every episode.

9.2/10
