This show is captivating from the very first episode. The costumes and cinematography are excellent. The actors I believe were cast perfectly for their roles and did an amazing job portraying their characters. Also it's a very good looking cast! The acting is top notch. The story is beautifully written.
The action scenes made me catch my breath and cheer. The bromance made me smile. The comedic scenes had me laughing out loud, and the sweet moments made my heart flutter and gave me butterflies. When Ruyi and Chief Ning gaze and smile at each other, it made me smile too! Their chemistry is great!
Their individual stories and character development made me root for them and love them. That's the main reason why these characters had the power to break my heart into tiny little pieces and cry over them.
The ending is not what I expected and I know a lot of people are mad and disappointed. I really wanted a different ending for these lovely characters but I guess the writer had different ideas. Even though the ending didn't go the way I'd hoped, for me, it was still a very good CDrama.
I don't want to spoil anything so this is all I can say, I wanted it to end differently than the way it did, but after everything, the last scene still showed their brotherhood and love for one another is still there.
It is a journey to love because the love and brotherhood didn't end.
That made me like the ending and lessened the sting of the scenes leading up to it.
I highly recommend this series. It's definitely one of my favourites.
