Story:
Overall, I really enjoyed the story. While I'm not usually a fan of slow-burn romance, this one hooked me in, especially since it explores the topic of alexithymia, which is rarely discussed in media. As a psych major, I was thrilled to see this element portrayed so thoughtfully. The series also offers valuable life lessons, such as how to love patiently, how people cope with loss differently, and what mature love looks like. Watching this series, I realized that love should have a calming effect on us, not cause turmoil. This idea is perfectly illustrated through the character of Guyi, especially after LDW goes to Dalian.

Acting:
The performances, from the lead cast to the supporting actors, were outstanding.

Lin Yi's portrayal of his role is stoic but layered, and I loved how he conveyed confusion despite not feeling everything his character was going through. You can truly see his depth and skill as an actor.

As for Shen Yue, I have to say she’s the MVP of the series. Her portrayal of Guyi is the reason her character reached a 50M popularity index. Shen Yue has improved so much—before this, she always had a bit of Chen Xiaoxi in her roles, but here, she completely owned the character of Guyi. Her emotional range, the nuances in her performance, and even the subtle changes in her tone were exceptional. I also have to mention how mesmerizing she is on screen. When did she become such a beautiful crier? The way her tears fall looks so aesthetic, and her presence is captivating. Honestly, I don’t remember her looking this beautiful before, especially when she smiles!

Chemistry:
Lin Yi and Shen Yue's chemistry is a solid 10/10. I’m not exaggerating, but it’s been a while since I’ve seen such natural, genuine chemistry between two leads. Their connection was palpable, and it really added to the charm of the series.

Music:
The OST and background music were also a highlight, especially the intro! The songs are easy to follow, and the fact that they’re in English makes them even more accessible and engaging.

Rewatch Value:
I’d rate the rewatch value a solid 10/10. This series is such a comfort drama, and I know I’ll be coming back to it. I’ll definitely crave the chemistry between Lin Yi and Shen Yue again, and I can’t wait to experience it all over.
