A story too big for such short episodes
I genuinely liked this drama more than I expected to. For such a short format, it manages to fit in so many elements, family drama, business conflicts, conspiracies, romance, and even connections tied to the past, without ever becoming boring. Honestly, it just made me wish it had been a full-length drama because the story had enough potential for something much bigger. The chemistry between the leads is probably what kept me the most invested, every scene between them had energy and made the emotional side of the story work really well. I also enjoyed going into it without knowing too much because some twists and tropes actually surprised me. And honestly, the reference to the Republican era was such a plus for me, that kind of connection to a past love story instantly adds something more emotional and intriguing to the narrative. The acting was solid from both leads, even if Wan Xin frustrated me sometimes with how clueless she could be despite everything Shen Gu was doing for her. Still, I had a really good time watching this, and even with the rushed pacing that comes with short dramas, it never lost my attention.
