The concept is relatively new. Plot was captivating and perfectly balanced between politics, rights, and love. The acting was well executed, facial expressions matched the plot in every scene. There were so many added details that were small, yet important to touch on to make everything seamless (flashbacks to them and quotes brought back up were so good and surprised me every time). Transitions were smooth, no loose threads, every scene had a purpose that builds on the story and minimal time was wasted – which is important but not achieved by most web dramas. The script was also top tier (esp. if you understand Chinese, it's next level) better than some of the higher production dramas. Although the ending wasn't the best, could’ve easily been an alternative solution imo, so it seemed almost forced, but overall still one of the better dramas I’ve watched in recent years. Should’ve been produced as a longer drama, it had all the potential. Deserves higher rating.
