The later part was quite better and healing drama.
I watched it because of Jin Lu Ying and i shocked at my self i liked the drama. Although it's a reconciliation, it's neither angst nor sweet; it's a bittersweet story.
The typical broken mirror mended plot. The rich heiress aka FL, in order to save the poor boy aka ML who was injured because of her, is forced to agree to her father's request to break up with the boy abruptly. ML, unable to bear it, suffers a fit of rage. They met again after five years and ML stills hates FL for leaving him but unable to take revenge to FL.
The first half is agonizing but actually it was better in the middle until the end since it was actually healing drama for the leads. The misunderstanding part was quite not being dragged since ML silently search everything FL through from 5 years since she left him. From FL side, she still got misunderstand but ML always tried to explain everything.
FL's situation is extremely tragic; long-term mental stress has led to bipolar disorder, and she has attempted suicide multiple times. After learning about the FL's true situation, ML tries to marry her and sponsors her mother's treatment. You cannot treat this FL like another common damsel in distress character in short drama. Jin Lu Ying's acting was truly superb; she really evoked empathy from the audience. Several of her crying scenes are very engaging.
Zhang Nai Ge's appearance isn't particularly striking, but he maintains his scholarly character and it reminds me of Ninomiya's Platina Data (2013) character. The state of mutual attraction and resistance between the leads is very well portrayed.
The biggest flaw in this drama was portraying bipolar disorder as a combination of schizophrenia and asthma, which made me irked.
Still worth to watch despite the flaw.
