Watching this drama really felt like a train wreck, it's bad but you just can't quite bring yourself from taking another look. It was inconsistent and amatheurish in so many areas like storytelling and editing. The crew working on this hopefully learned allot from this project, mainly what not to do.
The 2nd couple got so little air time, it would have almost been better not have a 2nd couple altogether. Even though ironically their appearance was what elevated this series and kept me watching till the end. The main couple, was only interesting as long as Hua Yong remained a mystery, as soon as he revealed his identity and his agenda it became boring. Although the title of the series then made sense. The main theme of the show is not Love, it is Desire. For viewers who like artificial, fetish and forced constructed plots this should work fine.
As for me I prefer to see sincerity and raw emotion whereas this drama could not deliver on.
The 2nd couples storyline had all the means for a great arc but was botched into oblivion. Though there were some pivotal moments that kept them interesting till the end. One being the "closet scene" was not SA, Even though Gao Tu was trying to get away at first he is then shown to initiate a kiss or wanting to kiss Shen Wen Lang which to me was crucial to include.
