    So far, this drama blindsided me, but in a good way.
    The first 2 episodes are quite the promising start for this drama and I can´t stop gushing over Zhu Ya Wen and his simply amazing acting..he owned the screen, especially in episode 2. This makes me want to rewatch some of his older dramas like “My Natasha”.
    It is my fist time seeing Rebecca Tang, but I like what I have seen so far from her acting.
    When it comes to the directing, the colours chosen and the details to some of the costumes, especially the “flying fish costume”, they are truly beautiful.
    I hope that this drama will stay this good or get even better. There have been quite a few dramas this year, that started strong only to go downhill later on.

        the “捷成华视—偶像剧场 Idol & Romance” official youtube channel has uploaded the first 2 with English subs today. The subs might not be all that accurate and I noticed a few words missing here and there, but I am thankful that someone is subbing this drama at all!

          I just watched the two episodes! They were good! I loved the interactions between the leads! Feels like a movie mostly. Can’t wait for the next episodes.

          Anyoje know the release frequency?

          @Shi: It’s broadcasting on Hunan TV’s primetime slot, so I’m guessing 2 episodes per day except I think Friday and Saturday where it would be 1 episode? Something like that.
