To everyone who's on the fence about whether to watch this drama or not, HEAR ME OUT.


WATCH IT. JUST WATCH IT!!!!
This is the kind of drama that completely draws you in. It's unpredictable, mysterious and exciting. IT'S SO GOOD!!
The romance starts off pretty controversial (very entertaining to watch, not so much to experience in real life though LOL). It's definitely my guilty pleasure. But as the story progresses, the romance becomes absolutely perfect. Trust me on this!
Honestly, this is one of the dramas with the best chemistry and emotional connection between the main couple that I've ever watched. I want someone to love me the way the ML loves her (well, the improved version of him hahaha).
I also really loved the moral compass of both main leads throughout the story. That's a huge plus for me!
Kudos to our handsome Ryan Cheng Lei, who became my favorite male actor thanks to his captivating performance in this show!

**ABOUT THE ENDING**

Okay, let's talk about the most divisive part of the story.
Yes, the ending is sad.
This would easily be one of my favorite dramas if it weren't for that ending...

BUT! If you watch episode 39 up to the 42:20 mark, you'll get a perfectly wrapped-up happy ending. Stop there, and you'll have a satisfying conclusion. Thank me later :)

Now, if you want to make the same mistake I did and watch the whole thing, go ahead! The actual ending is realistically written and conveys a meaningful message about self-sacrifice for the greater good.
Do I think episode 40 is worth watching? No.
Honestly, I think that episode was unnecessary. And it's not just because of the sad ending. It comes across as an unnecessary addition, almost as if its main purpose were to make the ending more impactful. The execution also feels a little rushed, tbh. But that's just my take.
I think the story was already impactful enough without that extra episode, so don't think you're missing out if you decide to stop at episode 39 (42:20).

Anyway, have fun watching this drama for the first time. I wish it was me!
