THE SHORT VERDICT:
To my eyes, what sets this show apart from other c-dramas, is that it really is a healing romance.
It’s not just a concept in this show; we really do get to explore the nuances of emotional wounds, how they linger, and how they heal. I love that Show not only focuses on this, it also weaves this healing into the main loveline.
I feel that Bai Jing Ting and Zhang Ruo Nan are perfectly cast in this; I felt that they each brought their characters to life, and had a very believable, crackly chemistry with each other.
This one lingers with me, and I think it’s well worth the watch. 🥲
