This drama was simply beautiful. The story, the characters, the tension—ugh, it had everything it needed to be a masterpiece. Honestly, this is one of the very few times I’ve watched a C-drama while it was still airing. Usually, they’re tough to keep up with since episodes drop daily, but since I didn’t have too many ongoing dramas at the time, it actually wasn’t that bad. Plus, I was so hooked that staying up to date was no problem at all.

The story starts with the main couple already married, which is pretty unusual since we’re used to seeing the whole “meeting → falling in love → getting together” process. But here, we get a couple that seems perfect on the surface, hiding secrets that could destroy everything. It was so satisfying to watch the female lead prove that she could stand on her own and build her future, while the male lead basically crawled back begging for forgiveness.

Zhao Lusi once again showed how talented she is—she gave us such a different character this time: mature, confident, and completely sure of what she wants. And on the other hand, this was my first drama with William Chan, and wow, I was pleasantly surprised! His character made me feel everything—anger, frustration, excitement—you name it. I’m definitely looking forward to seeing more of his work in the future.

All in all, this drama was so, so good. I loved every episode, and even though there were a few things in the last episodes that didn’t completely convince me, I still enjoyed every moment of watching it. It was an emotional rollercoaster I’d gladly ride again! ♥
