a good cry
This drama revolves around pain, melancholy and unfairness. How fate can be so unfair to two people trying to get out of the abyss of misery that they have been thrown into. If you are drawn to sadness and suffering and what life can put a person through or you need a good cry to vent, this sentimental drama is for you.
what i liked and you might like too:
1.Story wise, the plot was presented in ''parrallel time lines'' frame. I am not a big fan of this format, but it was done impecably here. i got a little bit confused by the date ngl but it is rather clear as they dont dwell on too much secondary events (they didnt even dwell on important ones as you will see in the ending if you watch it lol)
2. i have just finished When destiny brings the demon knowing that the actress was voiced over there. so it was a happy surprise when i heared her low pitch resonant voice. it added so much richness to her character (matureness, this seemed important concidering what her dad made her go through).
3.Most importantly, her acting was heavenly, notably her despair in the first episodes. she broke my heart in different ways i never knew possible. the more or less contradicting portrayals she offered ,from her more fluffy and cute character in When destiny brings the demon to a tormented young girl that feels endlessly helpless in twelve letters, is rather impressive. She was able to express a vast spectrum of emotions from saddness, helplessness and despair passing by complete obsession to hopefulness and happiness with great balance.
4. This drama was shot beautifully. the cinematography is great. they seem to have allocated great attention to colorgrading, which i loved.
what i felt a little bit disappointed about:
1. the ending was a bit rushed and they left some pieces of the puzzle unexplained. i am okay with leaving a room for speculation and analysis for the audience ;nevertheless, we needed more than just a plain answer to the question: what is denouement for this complexe situation . we longued to see the long awaited aftermath. we longued to see them happy in their new timeline(so it was quite underwhelming eventhough we knew we got what we wanted implicitly). After it all settled, i am just thinking why torture us in two timelines, just to not give us a mere glimpse of the timeline we hoped for all along
2. i am not into continuous angst, and suspense lol . in this drama i couldnt sit for a sec without feelings of anxiety as there is always turmoil whether with yu nian and shen cheng or tang hai and yu xin.
3.Cha ge was a bit annoying sometimes (for his defense he could not do much)
