This is a masterpiece, I tell you. STORY 10/10 The story is incredible. The way that the plot flows is not linear, and the plot twists are amazing. The romance is well done. ART 7/10 This is the weakness of the show, and some might even rate it lower than me. Sometimes the frame rates aren't smooth and some graphics might be unnatural. Yet, the way things are designed is actually really good, such as objects and places. But for me, I do not judge a show solely based by its art. SOUND 9/10 I love music. I'm a musician by hobby. So take me seriously when I tell youthat the songs in this show are amazing. The OP is pretty good, the ED is great, but the insert songs (or the main song, that is) are absolutely WONDERFUL. It might not be as good as most highly-rated shows, but the music is great.

CHARACTER 7/10
The characters are really great - the MC as well as a few of the supporting cast that are the "main ones" have great depth. The only thing is that not many supporting characters have good depth, and some are shallow.
But the romance is pretty good. Although there's not really much "lovey-dovey" things going on, it is enough to warm your heart.

ENJOYMENT 10/10
Although I might not have cried (if I recall correctly), I have thoroughly enjoyed this show. So much that I find myself listening to the songs and even rewatching certain scenes after finishing. I don't do that to shows that I don't like.
Additionally, I speak Chinese - so I find myself to be in new territory, finally being able to understand most of the conversations. This probably enhanced the experience for me.

OVERALL 9/10
Even though the art is not that good, everything else makes up for it. Loved the romance, loved the music, enjoyed it well, and the story - oh the story - it was unexpected.

TLDR: Amazing plot with not-that-great art, stunning music, and enjoyable elements. If you like romance, watch this.
