Stunning Cast, Shocking Plot Twist, But an Ending That Ruined It All
“My Journey to You” starring Zhang Linghe and Esther Yu deserves serious praise for the outstanding acting performances. Both leads delivered emotionally charged, compelling portrayals, and the second leads were also perfectly cast. Honestly, even the supporting roles were filled with high-quality actors and actresses—this cast lineup is top-tier!
But here’s the thing… the story itself wasn’t gripping enough. It lacked that addictive, suspenseful pull that makes you desperate to click the next episode. That said, it did surprise me with a really good plot twist—one that I didn’t see coming at all. The twist gave the story a much-needed kick… but then came the open ending.
Personally, I’m not a fan of open endings, especially when it feels like there won’t be a season 2—or worse, if there is, it might not even connect well with season 1. That just left me incredibly disappointed. Like, painfully disappointed. 😭
The drama started off strong, but honestly? It wasn’t captivating enough overall. If this show aired in 2025 or 2024, it would’ve easily been overshadowed by other dramas with stronger storylines. It’s not that it’s bad, but there are just better options out there.
Watch it for the acting. Skip it if you hate unsatisfying endings.!!
