Best Romance for me This Year
This year was a year of amazing romance dramas, but this one really did something to my heart and I have revisited favorite scenes countlessly since. The chemistry between Hou Ming Hao and Lu Yu Xiao was electric. Their glances, the build up of their story was completely and utterly believable. The writer took the time to build their story. You could feel one falling for the other and then the other one after. You could feel their struggles, the guilt, the desire, the sacrifice, the passion. It's not always about the kissing scenes --but the scenes were SO beautifully done you could feel the build-up and complexity of each of their kisses. I loved this drama and thought the story was really well-written, executed, and it also wrapped up well -- no small feat for a C-drama. My favorite romance costume drama for 2025.
