acting so superior that it made me close eyes to alot of things
I really cannot say this enough but I feel Cheng Lei's acting in this was amazing. His character is in a very grey area but watching from ep1 to 40 felt like I was watching YCX mature from an arrogant kid to a mature adult. The vibe change was very evident in his acting as towards the latter half of the drama he has a lot more responsibilities and is not the playboy he used to be.
Xu Ruohan did really well as well and I feel the writer/director should have given her character alot more development. She can act really good but her story felt more broken compared to the ML. I feel like if they developed both characters with balance, giving a bit more importance to Pingjun's ambitions etc, the longing, the betrayal or the reunion scenes would have felt alot more deeper.
BURNING CHEMISTRY!! I think this drama contains one of the most kiss scenes in a cdrama I have watched. The chemistry, tension, visuals and acting between the leads gives you goosebumps. There are many moments that went viral on twitter and truly it was executed so well.
Many people were feeling uncomfortable to watch the start of the drama which I can understand, but honestly the acting still pulled me in and I enjoyed seeing the character development. The ML was so bad at the start that the things he was saying in the latter half of the drama left me shocked ("is this the same YCX I know?"). He was however very bad at communicating and usually never clarified the misunderstanding YPJ always had.
During amnesia/coma phase for YPJ, I wished the writer gave her more character and not just wait for him to be back home everyday. She could have been more curious about her past try out new hobbies or something, which could have set a better foundation for her to leave once she found out. Cause her leaving with nothing to start with while being pregnant was very illogical....she could have also pretended to not remember while she tried to find the truth...but this was not given importance unfortunately.
I feel alot of unnecessary screentime was given for the war and Jiang Xueting towards the end which also caused alot of random time slips making it difficult to follow.
The drama as a whole I would say is a 7.8/10 but the acting and the chemistry between the leads brings it up to 8.5. Overall, excellent performance by the actors and I admire the effort they put in to making this drama!
!!! SPOILER ON THE ENDING !!!
I was not really satisfied with the ending mainly because the balance was off. They were separated for so long but their reunion felt like it was just for a day before they got separated again. I also rather see it as a sad ending compared to an open ending so it gives more of a closure. The death of so many people suddenly also was very hard to relate to cause the build up wasnt really clear so you dont feel much.
