Heard from viewers that the drama is not following the exact and there are a lot of changes.  So, a positive thinking that it maybe a HEA ending.  Fingers crossed

Thanks for the reply.

I think I'mma still gonna watch it.

I just have to finish the dramas I'm watching now before I start.

OMG!!! So beautiful ending even though...............  Some episodes are so good.  Melo elevated to art level.  The depth of their love and the needless pain, BEAUTIFULY ACTED.  Their chemistry, wow!!!! When they are together, butterflies flutter wildly.  

Another thing, is HY's being in the dark till the 11th hour is strange.  Is he that slow, really??? But their farewell scene made me bawl!!!! He is sweet, innocent, oblivious, living in his own rose world, cant put two and two together dork.  He just makes a decent friend to HR.

Awww, the second couple, they are more sweeter.  

All in All the drama is so beautiful and i give a 9/10.

Really need to watch this one for sure.

A special mention to the cinematography and the OST's.  They are awesome!!!!

Yup, I just started it.

There's no denying Jerry Yan's attractions.

I swear he doesn't look any different from his Meteor Garden Days.
