It was decent drama

I was watching this because i like Liang Siwei and Zhang Jinyi. Both has overflowing chemistry and decent acting skill.

After watching this version, I realized just how bad the first version's scriptwriter was. It was clearly a good script, but the changes were a complete mess, a real waste of the first version's actors. This version has a clear storyline, a three-dimensional structure, a tight and smooth pace, and characters whose actions are consistent with their established personalities. The FL's past was incredibly dark, but the ML's tragic past was partly caused by the original FL.

ML becomes the FL's salvation, and at the same time, he reconciles with his past and no longer sees revenge as his life's purpose. The kiss was not too much but it was decent when the emotions are right, or when the plot requires it, is perfectly fine—fresh and not cheesy.

The only downside is the constant cigarette scenes; it's like smoking for the sake of smoking.

Recommended to Watch.
