Different, engaging and ultimately disappointing
There is an effort to make a different story by presenting a female protagonist who is far from being the damsel in distress to be rescued again and again. That makes the romance dynamic different, entertaining, and sympathetic to a certain extent because the lead couple has chemistry. But then the plot is unnecessarily drawn out and I found the twists they present to relate the characters to their past boring. I'm the number one hater of “couples realizing they knew each other from the past” in dramas, and this C-Drama did my disdain for that cliché no favors. The ending was too rushed and the male lead was unconvincing. I loved Li Huan, serving up one of the most iconic bobs I've ever seen.
