A different kind of love story
This drama differs from most romance c-drama that I've watched. Not lovey dovey traditional guy chase girl romance. This is a beautiful love story with an obsession twist built in. He Ran, a terminally ill young lady is very aggressive-ly chasing her crush, a guy much older who can be her uncle. In the beginning it looks like she has nothing to lose, but as the story progress she realized that she wants to continue living more than her family and friends wanted to. Her protective mother and childhood friend treated her like a fragile person who with just one wrong act can prove fatal for her health. He Ran found her reason for living in Xiao Han. Despite their different backgrounds and personalities, the two really love each other. I like that the director made the FL and ML mysterious and reveals their story and background with each episode. I don't particularly like the relationship between He Ran's mother and the college guy, it just feels wrong to me and I thought it didn't give any value or added flavor to the series. I like He Ran's obsession with Xiao Han, but Zhang Yuan Qi's obsession with He Ran's mother is just feels wrong to me. Overall, the series pretty good, although quite sad. And Jerry Yan looks amazing like he hasn't aged that much from 20 years ago.
