A Beautifully Acted and Written Show
This show was one of my most awaited shows for 2025 since the release of those brilliant trailers, and it surely didn't disappoint.Storyline: The story of our main leads, Sang Yan and Wen Yifan, was genuinely one of the most beautiful love stories I have seen in my years of watching television. It was told with such a delicate touch of warmth and compassion. I know people were unhappy with the deviations from the novel, but in my opinion the changes were well intended and suited the characters and their dynamics better. The only problem I had in this department was the excessive time given to unnecessary side characters, who did not contribute much to the story and were an annoying addition. I wish the storyline was more compact with only the leads but in the end it was a satisfactory results.
Acting: Bai Jing Ting and Zhang Ruonan give performance of a lifetime here. They truly understood the core of the characters and what was demanded of them, and delivered exactly what the show needed. The chemistry was natural, giving you a sense of warmth and comfort.
Music: Again, 10/10 across the board. One of the beautiful album I have come across, each and every song is beautifully poignant. I wish they used the intro song by MayDay more frequently in the actual show, which was easily the standout in the album.
Rewatch Value: This will easily go down as one of my comfort shows to rewatch whenever I am need of that warmth and comfort.
The superficial fluffy shows are cute, but these stories where characters have years of history and yearning between them truly enchant me like no another. I am grateful this show was made and to BJT and ZRN for playing our Sang Yan and Wen Yifan. You guys will be missed.
