I loved the translated version of the book and when I found out that it will be adapted into drama, I was excited and apprehensive at the same time. I didn't want it to become too melodramatic, as what they did in My Sunshine. However, I was totally drawn into watching the whole series for 2 days straight. I've always found Janice Wu a very capable actress and she didn't disappoint. Zhang Yu Jian is such a great actor, able to convey real emotions while acting cold and stoic. I even looked forward to his creepy smiles. The chemistry between the leads felt so natural to me. I think the script writer(s) did a wonderful job in developing all the characters in the drama. The drama may not be as accurate as the biography of the author, but it was very realistic and nothing was exaggerated.
