A Journey to Love

What an epic drama, so enjoyable and emotional. I never cry with any series and this one got me a couple of times.

The show is incredibly well made and the script its very compelling, with a lot of action, incredible fight scenes, funny moments, loads of teasing and beautiful camaraderie and friendship between all characters. It will hook you from the moment you start watching.

In the second half there's a few slow and draggy episodes but it will speed up in the last few episodes again. They gave us a pretty decent ending in the episode 34 but they added new subplots and twists (very tragic and heartbreaking) after that and everything felt rushed, including the ending.

This is why Im not giving the highest rating.

My favorite part about this drama is how well written and layered all characters are. There's something special about each one of them and you will feel a special connection.

I am absolutely obsessed with all female characters in this. There's ZERO female characters written as doormats in this series. They are fierce and stoppable and they will all play a key role in the story. The development of all of them, and how they grow through the experiences they are living and the people they meet ( specially Princess Yang Ying) is so thrilling to watch.

And the way they all lift each other up, including the male characters, criticizing stereotypical gender roles and regarding women as equal and important as them. Just wow.

This was my first drama of the both main leads and I am a fan. Liu Shi Shi and Liu Yu Ning had such beautiful chemistry.

Greenest flag award for the main male lead's character. Not one toxic thing about him, and made the main love story very enjoyable to see. I found myself showcasing the biggest smiles when they were flirting each other on screen.

Despite its flaws it was an almost perfect drama, with very wholesome relationships of epic love and friendship and incredible character development.

You will laugh, cry, be surprised and feel the deepest sweetest love so many times. Don't miss this one!
