First of all, I would like to say this is the first review I write for a drama here on mydramalist. The White Olive Tree did a deep-dive into my emotions and I had to share this with everyone.

*Below contains some spoilers please read at your own risk*

The first quarter of the drama started off strong with both of the leads meeting in 'Eastern Country' as the main lead saves the female lead. The actors all portray the characters in an amazing way and all the emotions felt very real. The middle quarter of the drama focused more on the mental health issues, self-recovery, and the romance in which both Chen Zhe Yuan and Liang Jie portrayed really well, and it felt like you were actually intruding on them in some of the scenes. Also, the side characters portrayed the roles very well and made you want to know the storyline of each and every one of them. The last quarter of the drama took a really heavy toll on me, with their return to 'Eastern Country' and the several attacks that took place. The ending has another story to tell..

The soundtrack was of amazing quality and has really nice songs which I actually enjoyed and added to my playlist.

If you are planning to watch this drama, be prepared mentally for a rollercoaster of emotions. It will hit you but it is worthwhile.
