This was such a great surprise for me. I was already prepared for something grand because of the amount of positive reviews and fans this has, but It surpassed my expectations .
The story is just so captivating and powerful and you couldn't possibly ever get bored because every actor plays different characters living different lives and tribulations in different timelines so you are completely hooked since the show starts.
From the beginning you know you will suffer a lot with this genre of cdramas and the amount of angst is real( for every scene of lighthearted and playful love you get 10 of heavy super dramatic and painful scenes) but it is worthy. It is a very deep analysis of all human emotions and shows how experiences in life will shape the person you become.
Huge fan of the character development of this drama, extremely complex personalities and forever conflicted, feeling emotions they don't want or they don't understand but equally necessary for their growth and evolution.
I have watched our main leads in many shows and even together in Love is sweet and I believe both of them are quite great actors ( Bai Lu in The Legends was outstanding), they have great chemistry and its fun watching them.
The effects and costumes are on another level and you can see the quality, but I have to say, (as the one negative thing I find about the series), I didn't like the huge amount of makeup every single character is wearing on each scene, way too heavy and it's actually distracting in many of the scenes, I don't understand what the makeup director was thinking...
Other than that small thing and overall, its an excellent cdrama and I recommend you to watch it 150%, you won't regret it.
