I started watching this when it first aired on iQiyi—right in the middle of the pandemic, when I was bored and just looking for anything to pass the time. I didn’t really expect much going in, but somehow, from the very first episode, it completely pulled me in. It just had that kind of effect.

Maybe it was Xu Kai—he looked especially attractive in this drama, like it was one of his best looks—or maybe it was the second lead, who also had me just as invested. Either way, the cast really did their job because I was hooked almost instantly. From then on, it became part of my routine to wait every week for new episodes, counting down the days like something to look forward to.

I honestly don’t even know how many times I’ve rewatched it at this point. I’ve lost count, but what’s crazy is that it still feels just as good every single time, like I’m experiencing it all over again for the first time. That kind of feeling is rare.

Of course, part of me wishes it had been longer because I wasn’t ready to let it go, but at the same time, I’m really satisfied that it ended on a happy note. It gave that sense of closure without taking away from the whole experience.

And the OSTs? Easily one of the best parts of the show. Every track just hits differently and makes the scenes even more memorable.
