Must watch drama!

Ah I rarely cry while watching dramas, but I teared up when I finished this drama. The main couple has so much chemistry that it didn’t even feel like they were acting.

The ML, Li Xun is such an interesting character…he is so deliciously flawed, but you can’t help rooting for him to be truly happy even when the knuckle head is actively taking decisions to ruin his own happiness beyond repair. He was definitely madly in love with Zhu Yun, and he proved it to her in many ways. Unfortunately, he is so prone to self sabotage, and that is probably because he has experienced loss all his life, so when he is cornered, he goes all out without caring about the consequences. He is also very capable and confident, so he doesn’t fear ruining himself because he believes he can always build himself back up. Thankfully, with Zhu Yun as his anchor, he stopped being so hard on himself and finally allowed himself to let go of things and be happy with her. Past Li Xun would never let go of Gao jiahong otherwise.

I could write a whole thesis about Zhu Yun, she is one of the purest and bravest Fl I have ever seen, because it takes courage to love a man like Li Xun, but for Zhu Yun, absolutely no other man will do. I was really rooting for her all through this series, and I’m so happy she got full closure and a happy ending with the love of her life.

As for that weasel gao jiahong, I think the writers of this drama let him off too easily. He had always been plagued with debilitating inferiority complex to Li Xun, but he went too far with his actions, especially the last stunt he pulled with Zhu Yun. That was beyond despicable, he didn’t deserve the pity party last arc, and he didn’t redeem himself enough imo. If Fang Zhijing could go to jail, I don’t see why gao jiahong would go scot free considering they are both partners in crime.

I don’t want to make this post too long but lighter and princess is a must watch, with flawed but loveable characters. This is definitely going on my rewatch list if only so I could see the heart fluttering stares, kisses and warm hugs between Zhu Yun and Li Xun over and over again.
