A Great First C-Drama Kickoff of 2025
Kicking off modern C-dramas on a high note with this one.
This is the kind of drama that is absolutely amazing, yet I know I will never rewatch it.
As someone who gets emotionally attached to characters, watching Li Zan suffer so much was painful, and the ending completely broke me. I don’t think I can go through that again.
The plot is heartbreaking, realistic, and emotionally intense—filled with twists that remind you that nothing is as it seems. At the same time, it beautifully portrays dreams of hope and freedom.
I had been anticipating this drama since last year, and it did not disappoint.
Chen Zheyuan delivered his best performance yet, especially in the second half of the series—my applause to him!👏
His chemistry with Liang Jie was also strong, filled with tension and heartfelt moments❤️🔥
That bittersweet ending, though—I personally didn’t like it. I prefer either a happy or sad ending, not an open one. I didn’t read the novel beforehand; I evaluated the story based solely on this drama.
Overall, I highly recommend this drama, but be warned: it contains heavy themes, including PTSD, mental illness, blood, and war. It’s intense, but definitely worth watching✨
