Even with a few months left in the year there’s little doubt in my mind that this will be easily one of the best dramas coming out of the mainland or anywhere in Asia. It’s one of those rare outings that’s been careful not to out stay its welcome. Romance dramas to their own detriment almost always don’t know when to bring the push-pull to an end. The temptation to indulge in luck pushing is often why the final act in C dramas often feels unsatisfying. There are exceptions of course and this happens to be one of them. It’s been my contention for years that no romantic comedy should ever exceed 16 episodes and this one understands why that should be. 32 episodes, each about half an hour was about right for what they were trying to achieve. The cunning too of this production is also in its use of time jumps to chart the progress of the leads’ life together which leads me to wonder how differently things would have been for them if a child or children were also along for the ride.
I have finished seeing this drama today. And I must admit that at first I thought that I was going to drop it due to the plot that it begin. I'm grateful that I sticked to it. I agree with you that this was on of the Cdramas that I liked so far. Due to the realistic and some what fairytale like story.
As you mentioned before, one of the main problems that I have with most Chinese dramas is that sometimes you get tired at some point in the story due to the filler episodes or just because sometimes it doesn't get to the point (Btw, I just only see Wuxia and Modern dramas). This happened to me with the 'Broker' drama ft. Victoria Song and Leo Luo. Even though the drama has already ended I'm struggling to finish it for the main reason that I have mentioned.
What I'm also glad of this drama that it stood by the novel. I haven't finished it but so far so good.
Thanks for your final thoughts! It is always a pleasure to read them. May I ask what other dramas are you watching at this moment?
