Plotwise: This series was an unexpected gem. At first, I wasn’t sure if I could get into the slow-burn romance, but I was quickly pulled in by the depth and complexity of the story. What truly set this apart was its exploration of alexithymia, a psychological condition that is rarely portrayed in such a thoughtful way. As someone with a background in psychology, I appreciated how the show tackled this topic with sensitivity and depth. But it’s not just about the condition—it’s about how love and human connections evolve, how people deal with loss, and the growth that comes with experiencing mature, patient love. One of the biggest takeaways from the series for me was the idea that love, at its core, should be peaceful.

Acting: The performances were another major highlight. From the leads to the supporting characters, every actor brought their A-game. Lin Yi’s portrayal of his character stood out for its quiet intensity. His stoic nature didn’t make him emotionless—rather, it made the moments where his character was conflicted or uncertain even more impactful. He was able to convey so much with just a look or a pause, which was impressive. On the other hand, Shen Yue completely transformed in her role as Guyi. I’ve always admired her acting, but this was next level. In the past, it often felt like there was a trace of her previous roles but here, she truly embodied Guyi in every way. She gave the character so many layers and brought an emotional depth to the role that felt real and raw. It was also hard to ignore how stunning she looked on screen—especially during her emotional scenes. Her tears weren’t just tears; they felt like an expression of her soul. And her smile? She’s never looked more radiant. It’s clear Shen Yue has grown so much as an actress, and I couldn’t be more impressed.

Chemistry: If I’m being honest, Lin Yi and Shen Yue’s chemistry is one of the best I’ve seen in a long time. It was genuine, unforced, and effortlessly believable. Their connection was magnetic, and it made every shared moment, every glance, feel charged with emotion. They weren’t just playing roles; they became the characters, and that made their romance feel so authentic. It’s rare to find leads with such natural chemistry, and this pairing truly delivered.

Rewatch Value:
I’m already looking forward to watching this again. The rewatch value is definitely a 10/10. It’s the kind of drama you can return to for comfort, to relive the quiet moments and emotional highs. And I’ll be honest—I’m already craving more of the Lin Yi and Shen Yue magic. The chemistry, the emotions, the beautiful storytelling—this is a series that stays with you long after it ends.
