L&R introduced me to some wonderful characters. Hao Chen was the self-righteous ruler of the heavens, covering up his fear, resentment, and covetous nature with a beautiful face and pretty words. Teng She, with his head movements and sibilant speech, was perfection as a snake beast. Wu Tong was dark and menacing, but he managed to evoke my sympathy, although not nearly enough to overcome my repulsion!

I've got to admit that the supporting cast carried this drama for me, as I wasn't invested in the FL (she was easily manipulated and didn't trust the man she claimed to love) or the ML (he was self-sacrificing to the point of not having his own identity).

As for the bad, there was a heavy ratio of angst to bliss. The misunderstandings were epically bad. There were so many instances where one sentence of explanation would have changed the entire outcome, but lazy writing struck again! It was frustrating to watch the ML lie to the FL, then feel all butt-hurt when she believed his lies.

I added a half star for the supporting characters and a nice OST.
