I have watched countless dramas from different genres and from different countries, and I can confidently say that I have never watched a drama as amazing as this. It has been months since I finished the drama and this has become my favorite drama of ALL-TIME. Most people would first doubt if they should watch this because during the production process of this drama, the general public had mixed reviews. Regardless, once the drama came out, the show was well-received despite having no veteran actors join the cast.

The plotline was slightly confusing at first, especially to those who have not read the novel or manhua, or watched the donghua, but please do not let this discourage you and give this drama a chance. It gets so much better as the episodes progress, especially on the episodes around 20-35. It has a complicated and unique storyline that will make you never forget about this drama.

The acting exceeded my expectations. I never really had high expectations as the actors were mostly new, but they truly outdid themselves. Not only did the 2 main leads have such amazing chemistry, despite removing the BL element to pass China's censorship, but the supporting actors were just as good. I personally loved Wen Ning's character, Paul Yu really did an amazing job of portraying the character.

The OST was really well done and I love how the actors had a song dedicated to each of their characters. The duet of Wang Yibo and Xiao Zhan for the theme song is just pure perfection. I also love how they used a lot of traditional instruments for the OSTs.

I salute the production crew behind this drama for outdoing themselves and creating a masterpiece despite the struggles they had to face during production from investors pulling out and receiving hate from anti-BL people and MDZS readers. I also salute Wang Yibo for keeping a professional mindset and still pushed to play the role of LWJ despite several fans leaving him after hearing that he playing the main role in a BL novel adaptation, I can't imagine anyone else playing the role of LWJ and doing an amazing job as he did. Xiao Zhan and Wang Yibo truly deserve the awards and new fans that they gained from this drama.

I sacrificed sleep because I was so into this drama. This drama made me feel all kinds of emotions that no other drama has ever put me through. After finishing the entire drama, I couldn't watch any new dramas for a month and spent all my time watching the special edition of this drama, the live concerts, fan-made videos, interviews, behind-the-scenes, and read the manhua version. I just couldn't let go of all the characters of the drama because I grew so attached to them.
