If you can even then you shouldn't watch it.
The story revolves around Zhuang Man Ying, an orphaned heiress who is sent back in time to reset her mother's life trajectory. She aims to undo all the wrongs done to her mother and help her lead a happy life. In comes her adoptive uncle Qin Mo, who looks uncannily handsome in the 90's. Made me wish I had an adoptive uncle or two to make life just more complicated. Said uncle is rude and harsh in the present but was the love of her life in the 90's.What worked: The lead who looked gorgeous, it is their pairing that initially drew me to this drama.
What was wrong: Everything.
Let me clarify what was bad, the story line, even if one searched with CIA approved thermal heat binoculars one wouldn't be able to find it. The writer must be on some sort of kool aid when they decided to hash this haphazard regurgitated garbage. The production team then decided it wasn't enough that the story sucked so bad they topped it off with an equally low budget and appalling direction. Dai and Chen have proved their worth in far better productions and do not need to do such crappy dramas.
The misuse of a perfectly awesome genre, a perfect pairing and a dearth of proper kisses killed the drama for me. Extremely disappointed, please watch when the world is about to go off the map of the universe.

Watch with icecream and try to keep your wrath from melting the screen.
The story revolves around Hao Yu the female protagonist who has the IQ of a kindergartner and emotional intelligence of a toddler. She wants revenge on Ji Zhi Jie the male lead, an underworld heir morally uncorrupted and born with the idea that Love Can Set It All Right.The morbid setting the writer wanted to portray never really hit the sweet spot. The gang was colorful and well dressed. A refreshing departure from an all black ensemble often noted in such stories. I must ask the writer what exactly went through his or her mind while penning this. The FL is cringe, annoyingly hell bent on revenge and the best part is not even good at it. A patient suffering from severe glaucoma could see through her paper thin act of love towards the man. Why was there not a single reasonable bone in Zhi Jie is beyond me. Was he too busy getting dolled up, upgrading his wardrobe or did he just forget his prescription glasses, I just couldn't decide. How can you love and then continue to love someone so horribly wrong for you.
Coming to the reason of watching this show, of course it is Fan Zhi Xin. The man can act and acts so well that it seems all too real to me. The pain, the frustration, the anger and the angst. Halfway through I wanted to slap the woman silly myself and throw her in a dumpster. I just can't with stupid females who can't grasp situations and act as if the world owes them something. If a man loved me half as much as the dude loves her, I'd be loyal to the grave.
Anyways back to the drama. I'm taking innumerable breaks to watch this, rest assured I will finish it because Zhixin worked his ass off to make my heart feel for him. I owe the man this much. Will edit his once I finish this train wreck of a drama.
