Shua

Waste of a good story and cast

Final Rating 7.7 out of 10

This was good until episode 8. After that it lost the plot line and included some needless melo drama.

I think the director/writer just wanted the Qinglang's character to feel miserable. So they started to go on a killing spree. I don't believe 4 deaths in just six episodes were needed or can even be justified in this plot line.
First Sister Lan, she just suddenly had an accident due to a crash (we see the flash of another car's headlight) in that isolated mountain where you can hardly find any visitor. Then Qingtian's death was even more weird. He goes to search for that flower which he has found a few times before and never returns (and note that he was quite familiar with that mountain). So I just can't digest the fact that he was shredded by a bear (it wasn't said but still hints were given). They just suddenly announced he's dead? Like what! I couldn't believe that thing asked waiting for him to cheerfully come back somehow until they had the funeral.
Lastly, why even make Shi Yihao to commit suicide? He finally came to his senses and even helped the ML. They skipped time by 5 years later and you decide to make him commit suicide when everything was finally coming to track. Don't even think of defending that by saying he retired (or was forced), he didn't have any career left– No Reason To Live!

Those were all forced and unnecessary plot points that didn't make any sense.
