Great story, should have been a long drama
I watched this drama for Deng Kai, but got captivated by the story. Unfortunately, the cuts made it hard to follow and the subtitles were really bad (I'm glad I understand a little chinese by now, it helped, without I would have been confused more than once).
This drama should have been a "big" drama with more episodes and a higher budget - and a better hairdresser - but with the same actors. All the leads did an amazing job. It could have been a 10/10 if the screenwriting and cuts would have been more elaborate to make it easier to follow and the budget for costumes, action-scenes and so on should have been higher.
The strong points:
The actors, all if them were great.
The story.
The ending, which made me want to rewatch it all over.
The weak points:
The cuts, it was sometimes hard to know when and where we were.
For the non-chinese-speaking audience: The subtitles, they were just bad (they should be redone)
The hairdresser should be fired. What was that disheveled hairdo Deng Kai hat to put up with during his captivity-fighting??? I just can't get over it, I almost stopped watching as it wad ridiculous.
All in all it's really worth watching, even though I can't give more than 7,5 due to the points mentionned.
