One of the best remakes! Keep the same actors for the next adaptations as well
Usually, I'm not a fan of remakes, but this time I was pleasantly surprised by this series.The acting, the story, and the chemistry between the actors are so good that I totally enjoyed each episode to the max ;)
The friendship between our three beloved characters is the best one out here - one of the main reasons why this series is so successful. Xu Zhen Xuan, as Wu Xie is so good at portraying both innocence, sarcasm, pain, sorrow, and happiness that he makes a great team with his on-screen partners Cheng Xiang as Zhang Qi Ling and Sun Ge Chuan Ye as Pang Zi.
This start of the series builds their connection, and we can see how their friendship builds organically throughout each experience that they face, each saving, and the trust keeps building until it becomes the strongest force that will make their friendship unbreakable during all the years that follow.
For me, it feels like his adaptation is more authentic to the books than the previous one, although I liked that one as well.
The CGI is excellent as well, and the soundtrack is on point.
Now I want to see other adaptations with the same cast ;) Fingers crossed!!!

A beautiful drama to enjoy when you need romance in your life
I went into this one not expecting much since it's a relatively short drama (30 min/ episode) and all the episodes were aired on the same day, but I was really surprised to find out that it's a solid drama that I totally enjoyed!It shows us that among all the ugliness of the world that we face every day, all the greediness of the people and the betrayals that happen to us, even from our closest ones, having a few true friends and a partner that are willing to help you get back on your feet, learn to trust and love again - well, this is what makes life truly have meaning and beauty.
The story might not be the newest out there (girl is almost killed and comes back to get revenge and fall in love with her enemy's son), but what makes the drama enjoyable is the acting and the chemistry of the two main characters that manage to portray real love, loyalty and trust with their eyes, their dialogue and their actions - consistency and a clear plot do the rest.
The soundtrack is well-chosen and fits the key moments, enriching the atmosphere and helping the story feel complete.
Visually, it's one of the best short dramas out here, with careful attention given to the usage of light and shadows for maximum effect. Thumbs up to the designer for the main characters - their clothes rocked big time! The clothes really showcased their beauty and were a great match for each situation the actors faced.
All in all, I really enjoyed this drama, binged watched it in a single day, had fun discovering this story and the new actors that I didn't know before, but who made a beautiful impression (I will search for more of their works).
Give it a try if you feel like enjoying a beautiful love story that you can binge-watch to your heart's content ;)
