finally, i’ve finished watching this drama. i started it mainly to support my idol’s latest project, yu shuxin, whom i’ve been following for a long time. overall, the cast did a really good job bringing their characters to life, making it easy to feel emotionally connected to them. the acting performances are genuinely strong, especially from yu shuxin and he yu. their emotional expressions feel natural and sincere. from crying scenes to teary eyes and subtle facial changes. yu shuxin, in particular, portrayed jiang mu beautifully. even small details, like the hair clips she wears, make her truly look like a 19 yo girl. her gestures and expressions fit the character well and show her dedication as an actress. that said, it’s a shame that the storyline itself is quite disappointing. i had been waiting for this drama for about two years, so my expectations were naturally high. unfortunately, the plot doesn’t live up to that anticipation. there are many scenes that feel awkward, rushed, or poorly explained.
for example, when jin zhao gets into an accident, the story focuses heavily on his suffering while completely overlooking the person who actually caused it. this makes the narrative frustrating and hard to stay engaged with. the perpetrator is barely addressed, and their arrest happens without any meaningful scenes or consequences shown, even though jin zhao ends up suffering for eight years because of it. as a viewer, this feels unsatisfying and unfinished. i also find it strange that an accident like this would realistically require eight years of suffering, yet the drama never really explains why. another confusing part is how jin zhao is suddenly found by the police and taken to the hospital after the accident, without any explanation of how that happened. a short scene could have easily clarified this, but it was simply skipped.
later on, when lin sui invites jin zhao to rejoin the team, the story doesn’t clearly show what jin zhao plans to do next. many important plot points are left unresolved, making the storytelling feel incomplete. overall, the drama places too much focus on the romance between jiang mu and jin zhao, which causes other important aspects of the story to be neglected. the romance becomes overwhelming, while the plot logic and narrative depth suffer as a result. in the end, while the acting and character portrayals. especially yu shuxin’s are strong and memorable, the weak and messy storytelling makes this drama a disappointing experience, especially considering how much potential it had.
