This drama has been highly recommended and is the favorite for a lot of BL fans. And to some extent I get why. The acting is amazing, the plot isn't boring and I did keep coming back for more. However, this drama will not age well. It already hasn't. BLs have a serious problem with romanticizing rape and this drama is incredibly guilty of it. I was uncomfortable for a huge portion of this drama, the only reason I came back because the chemistry between the leads are off the charts and I really couldn't resist.

Louyin at times doesn't make sense to me. He doesn't get mad at things I thought he would and he gets mad at things that I really don't see the big deal about. Louyin's motivations confuse me to put it plain and simple. Nonetheless I did enjoy watching this drama until the very end when it leaves us on a cliff hanger with no resolution in sight. It's been four years and I highly doubt we will see a continuation of this drama despite rumors and promises of a completion to it. The drama was banned in China so I really don't have my hopes up. But if you ignore the last five or so minutes of the drama, it's a fine open ending instead leaving us on a cliff hanger.
