I began watching this drama for the CP. Their chemistry is just a treat to watch.
A notable part of this story is how Jiaxin, our meek FL has a solid support system. Her mom loved her dearly and wouldn't hesitate to stood up for her. I admire their mother-daughter bond. After marrying into the Wang family, she was also treated well and they genuinely care about her.
I admire Jiaxin's character development, even at first she was portrayed as a pushover, her driving force was her kindness and compassion. People took advantage of that but it doesn't mean she's simply stupid. I like how Xiyi encouraged her to become more confident. I don't think Xiyi is the best male lead. He couldn't stand his ground between these two women for so long and ended up hurting them both. But as he spent more time with Jiaxin and realized his true feelings, he could firmly told Anna that he loves Jiaxin and everything is over between them. Even when Anna tried to win him back with her cunning schemes, he never question his feelings for Jiaxin.
Shi Anna was so frustrating. She was always an ambitious woman who puts her career as a professional ballerina as her priority but they reduced her into an anxious, pathetic girl who begs her cheating boyfriend to take her back... Like... girlll you can find a much better man!! She didn't have any self-respect and deliberately chose to do shameful things to sabotage Xiyi and Jiaxin's relationship. Dylan wasn't a good second lead either. I don't like his meddling behavior and how he thinks he knows what's best for Jiaxin. These two siblings are annoying.
Their reunion arc was packed nicely imo. Although Xiyi wanted her to come back to him, after hearing her perspective, he didn't push her and let her make her own decision. What Xiyi did during the past three years without Jiaxin really sold it for me. Writing in Ximi's journal, being more attentive to his employees, helping Jiaxin's mom, sleeping in Ximi's room, and developed an entire island–Jiaxin's hometown–as a tribute for Ximi so Jiaxin can feel his presence when she's back home... However, the push and pull in the last few episodes was unnecessary but not entirely unrealistic. Jiaxin's indecisiveness is justified because her feelings and their situation is complex. She tried to let go of the past because she wanted better things for herself but her feelings for Xiyi was still there and it's holding her back. But the ending was very rushed and unsatisfactory. I expected a nice epilogue for their new relationship but we got nothing.
Overall, it was a pretty good experience, I hope the CP can reunite again :D
