I was really looking forward to this series. I have read the novel several times, and although it is beautifully and colorfully packaged, this candy is definitely sour. The eyes are often empty. ML's aggressive thirst for revenge has turned into a sleepy, lukewarm excess. FL's desire to survive has turned into a funny. The story is drawn out, the romantic music sounds sooner than the actors' romantic skills. The prolonged romance makes the play boring rather than passionate or beautiful. The supporting characters sometimes perform better than the main characters. However, I could not imagine a better cast than this, both main characters have the potential for success. The director creates beautiful images, everything is like a painting, beautiful but soulless. The serious complication is still to come, but 26 episodes of the series have already passed. I will watch it, but for me, appearances are not enough for a high rating.

addendum: episodes 26-40

The end of the series did not bring any major changes.
The chemistry improved, but it became artificial due to the director's wonderful settings. (I feel the director's self-adoration instead of the actors' acting)
I understand some of the cuts (so that we don't stay without our main character's partner for an entire episode), but I don't like it, it causes confusion.
The series itself is good, there are iconic moments.
I will watch these moments again, but I definitely won't watch the whole movie.
Episode 40 is a self-serving distribution of happiness, at the expense of the novel.
