I was skeptical at first about the casting, which has to do with the age gap thing, and the fact that Zhao Lusi still has that youthful image, however, oh boy does she proved me wrong. I'm a huge fan of her performance in Love Like the Galaxy, however, this might be on par, if not, better. I thought her acting in this drama is top tier and the emotions which she portrayed has so many layers - which imo, I think she should do these roles more often. I do think she did a successful job at transitioning into a more mature roles to get away from that girlish, youthful image.
The story started with this 'Mr. & Mrs. Smith' dynamic between the two couple, whom had hidden their true backstories, which later resulted in divorce because one of them couldn't continue with this act - only for the ML to realize he does love her for real.
The story concept is so well developed and the idea is very unique. It was so well written, at least, from the beginning to mid-end. It could've been a 10, however, it's lost some of its way at the later episodes. I feel like Chinese dramas tends to flip the story into a more tense and rush the pace at the last 3 episodes, which was the same case as this drama - though they somewhat did a decent job at polishing it. However, I still hoped that they did a smoother transition and have a better pace in the overall story.
The costumes department did a good job as well, I know Zhao Lusi is a Versace girlie and I thought she looked good in every wardrobe, Versace or not.
Overall, I thought the drama deserved its high anticipation.
