Also, if anyone saw my previous comment about my wondering if I should start this drama and then being warned by several people not to because it's addictive, I'm sorry! I couldn't help it and now I'm hopelessly hooked. But honestly, for someone who didn't like City Hunter very much, this drama is fantastic and sadly underrated!
Ahh, the last few episodes on Viki are not subbed 100% yet D: if anyone seeing this is a subber, pretty please help out!

EDIT: They've been adding subs gradually so almost all have been totally subbed, thank you so much Viki subbers <3
Finally completed this drama! Despite having read and loved the book, I don't remember the ending being quite so sad. As sorry as I feel for Jiu Ye, I think in the end he did get that peace that he wanted if not with Xin Yue. I do however wish he'd have gotten a better ending. Maybe it's Hu Ge's sad puppy eyes I couldn't take.
I am pleased that Xin Yue and Wu Ji finally got their happily ever after. Overall, this drama was great and kept me on edge despite knowing what was coming. I'm actually kind of sad to complete it. Eddie Peng and Liu Shi Shi's chemistry is no joke. The OST is also brilliant - I love every single song and geez, the use of them in this drama at just the right moment has the ability to stab a fork in your heart and twist it like it's spaghetti.
I was thinking about writing a review for this but I feel like thebigdreamer's review covers it all.
Just for the main three actors and actress, I feel like this deserves a 10/10.
I'm going to pretend this drama ended at episode 9 where Hanae said yes to Asao.
I'm on the last episode and I highly doubt that's where it's going but after I finish this last episode and am disappointed, I'm going to erase it from my memory and just go with the above statement.
EDIT: Completed with a 6.5/10. It went exactly where I thought it would. Oh well, I'm fine with the ending. I just kind of hoped for better for Tamaki Hiroshi's character. He felt kind of wasted in this drama.
I GIVE UP on trying to not watch this drama. I was warned not to start until it finished airing but I'm sorry, it just looked so good! 4 episodes in, totally not disappointed.
I really hope not.
