Title does not live up to its excellence!

I do not know why Chinese dramas always have the absolute worst titles in existence. like wtf??? unexpected falling? Could it not be ANY MORE VAGUE LMFAO

I literally do not know where to start with this show. I was absolutely enamored by it. This show is amazing by Cdrama standards and regular standards. It gives me Flower of Evil (kdrama) vibes sometimes. I ate up Flower of Evil, but I think I liked this show more :D

It is a bit long, and I usually have trouble finishing longer shows, but I literally got so addicted to this I watched the last 14 episodes in one sitting during my finals week. Probably not a responsible decision but oh my god this show is so amazing. ok ok let me try to get my thoughts out

1. Overall production:
Yall the director ate it up in this drama. like there is so much detail and precision and everything is chosen on purpose. The color palette reflects the mood (which is super gloomy), the cinematography is pretty impressive, the music just adds to everything. Pretty top tier quality.

2. Acting + characters:
I literally felt so impressed with the actor of Ruan ZhenZhen. She really played her part so well and I felt the emotions Ruan ZhenZhen was portrayed to be feeling. Actually I think everyone's acting was pretty good. Each character had little mannerisms that were carried throughout the show. Loved it and gave the characters way more dimension. There were a lot of characters though. But most of them fulfilled a purpose so it wasnt too much of a problem for me. Theres just a lot of names to remember. The ML is amazing. I can't say too much without spoiling major spoilers so I'll leave it as is. Every main character goes through a LOT of character development. Everyone grows through their hardships. You'll start off HATING certain characters, and by the end loving them.

3. Plot:
Suspense wise, it was amazing. You can be convinced about something for several episodes and then be proven wrong, so so so wrong. Some ppl say its predictable but i guess i wasnt smart enough to predict 99% of it LOL. Like u think something is gonna happen but then it doesnt happen but then it does but in a different way- a lot of it makes u flip flop between suspecting certain characters and trusting them again. I think it gets a bit draggy in the beginning, and picks up super fast towards the last third of the show. I liked the slow pace, don't get me wrong. Personally it was a breath of fresh air from all the other rapid shows I've been watching. But I kind of wish the content in the last third had a bit more time to develop bc it felt like a lot of information was being thrown at you all at once. at least for me it was a bit hard to keep track of. But not a single point in this drama did I feel bored! I don't usually rewatch shows but I might rewatch this one or at least parts of it b/c I feel like I didn't properly process a lot of the information. Maybe thats b/c i binged 14 episodes in one sitting though haha

4. Romance (mild spoilers?):
What I really like about this show is that the ML faces consequences for his actions. If he treats the FL like crap, she gets upset and tells him what he did wrong. She isn't easily won over. This is definitely a case of the ML falling for the FL way earlier and way harder. Sometimes he irritated me and got way too clingy to the FL but she does show signs of annoyance and stands up for herself especially in the latter part of the show. This is different to most Chinese romances where typically the ML is a rude domineering man who gets away with every ounce of disrespect to the FL because he has a "troubled past." This show certainly does not follow that trope! It is SUPER slow burn. Their relationship is super ambiguous throughout the whole show. The main point of the show I'd say is not the romance, the romance is like 20% of it. But it does wrap up satisfyingly.

5. Ending:
Pretty solid ending. I usually do not watch ongoing shows b/c I am the kind of person that loves happily ever afters, but the trailer for this looked so interesting i just HAD to start it. This show has a happily ever after and it really doesn't feel forced at all. It's a very nice and pleasant ending that ties up all the loose ends.

6. Overall:
Is this the best drama I've ever watched? In terms of Cdramas, maybe. It's definitely up there. I personally loved it and I hope you will give it a chance too!
