It was better than therapy - what a gem
I had quite a difficult childhood with a lot of abuse, violence and trouble happen throughout my childhood/teenage years. All I could think about was escaping my hometown, and getting as far away as possible. My one comfort at that time was my first love, whom I met when I was 16-17. He was the kindest, most amazing human I have ever met, and I was incredibly lucky to have met him. Sadly we went to university in different cities and lost touch; he then passed away at age 21 in a freak accident (where he was trying to save someone's life, but he died instead). He died doing what he always did - trying to save everyone around him (including me).
Apologies for the life story, but this drama brought out all these memories in a way I haven't experienced in years and years. The parallels between my own story and the FL's story/ML's behaviour were crazy to watch. I have had years of therapy to deal with childhood trauma, but this drama helped me remember everything I had suppressed, deal with it and hopefully, move on a little. The drama must have had such a profound impact on all its viewers, and I hope the makers realise how true-to-life some of the scenes were.
Chinese dramas have come a long way, and it's one of the best dramas of recent times (though heavy in its theme!).
