A slow burn that sometimes burns too slowly
I actually enjoyed this one! There's a lot to love, especially the romance. The chemistry between the leads was definitely there, and I loved the sparks between them. Their sweet moments were easily some of my favourite parts.
And of course, Sang Yan deserves his own appreciation. He's seriously one of the greenest flag male leads ever. The way he quietly loved Wen Yifan and waited for her for years just melted my heart. WHY CAN'T WE HAVE MORE MEN LIKE HIM?
As for Wen Yifan, I do understand that she has her own trauma to deal with, and healing definitely takes time. I'm not expecting her to get over everything overnight. But still, I sometimes struggled to understand her decisions and reactions. I wish her character had a bit more depth and that we got to see more from her side beyond her trauma.
The plot itself was actually interesting, but the execution could've been better. I don't mind slow burns, but sometimes this felt a little TOO slow. There were scenes I could skip without feeling like I'd missed anything important. Maybe it's the pacing or the directing, but somehow the story just kept dragging in certain parts. I also expected more from the conflict resolution because the payoff felt a little anticlimactic.
BUT THE OST!!! Loved it. The songs were so good and fit the drama perfectly.
Still, a good watch overall. The romance and chemistry kept me invested, and Sang Yan definitely made it even better.
