Hua Kai Ban Xia (2013)

Hua Kai Ban Xia has a very original plotline. Trying to boost this drama because after watching the trailer, I didn't feel like it would have any substance. It proved me wrong in so many ways. I have never watched such a drama, honestly. Without all the romance, it would simply be a cat and mouse game, cops and gangs. But there is romance, and that made everything so different. The music, the scenery, the actors and actresses, they all made a very great drama. The love is really profound and it extends to every single character. There are some selfish ones but overall, they were just giving their all for their loved ones. Obstacle after obstacle, the main leads have to work together to move on. I have to say, I didn't expect the ending because there were so many other alternatives. I guess the writer had to go that far. It was cruel.
What I really loved about this drama is that no matter what, their love and trust for each other almost never wavered. The people around them were attracted to them because of that sense of devotion and innocence but were never able to get in between them. I thought the main actor was kind of too old for Qin Li but they made a great couple. There were so many sweet moments.
I skipped through all the cop and gang business. I hated those parts. As usual, the sins from the last generation were dragged down to the young generations and made everyone's lives terrible.
I loved the narration done by the main leads. What ifs, what could have happened, etc. After all, it's better to just never regret anything, which is greatly emphasized throughout the drama.
This drama's good point, in my opinion, is the love, ranging from family to friends to lovers. Definitely a must watch just for the pure love between the "siblings".
