This is by far the best Cdrama I have ever watched!!
I can’t believe I’m saying this, but for the first time ever, I made an account just to give this drama a proper 10. Yes, this C-drama is that good. I started watching when it only had 19 episodes because the synopsis intrigued me, and lo and behold, it ended up becoming one of—if not the—best C-dramas I’ve watched since I started a year ago. I can now confidently say that C-dramas can deliver when they truly try. They can reach greatness—on the same level as some of the best K-dramas I’ve ever seen.
The execution of this drama had my jaw dropping almost every episode. The writing is far above most C-dramas I’ve watched. The cinematography and direction are simply chef’s kiss. The character dynamics are insane—I’ve never been this entertained by a battle for succession. The soundtrack is amazing, and every arc had me completely hooked. My eyes were literally glued to the screen whenever I watched. Every actor and actress played their role perfectly, and honestly, I don’t remember being bored at any point. It’s just that entertaining.
And if you’re looking for romance, you’re absolutely on the right track. Even the second and third leads have incredibly captivating love stories. One of this drama’s strongest points is the push-and-pull between the couples—if you know, you know. And if you don’t, just watch it.
Watching each episode felt like watching a movie because of how well it was made. And the aspect ratio—don’t even get me started. It was such a genius creative choice and added so much to the overall experience. Pair that with strong writing, a compelling story, and interesting characters, and you get a truly cinematic experience.
If I had to point out a flaw—and I can’t believe I’m saying this—it’s that the drama is too short. I wanted more. Usually, my complaint with C-dramas is unnecessary dragging, but this time, I actually wished there were more episodes. I wanted more development and buildup in the final arcs after the Rong family conflict was resolved because I was genuinely curious about what came next. Aside from that, any other flaws are insignificant compared to how brilliantly this drama was crafted.
Overall: 10/10. One of the very few C-dramas I consider on par with some of the best K-dramas I’ve ever watched.
