Gu Chuan is a passion-filled, vibrant young man with his whole life ahead of him - until his life is turned upside down by a sudden traffic accident. He suffers life-threatening injuries to his heart and surgeons are able to save him by giving him an emergency heart transplant.
But when he recovers, he discovers that he is no longer allowed to perform most forms of exercise. Worse still, the doctors warn him that experiencing strong emotions could also end his life prematurely. He tries to return to normal life, but the changes he must make to his lifestyle take all the fizz out of his existence. He carefully avoids anything that could raise his heart rate - even if doing so turns him into a shadow of his former self.
Things take another turn, however, when a woman named Jiang Xiao Yu comes to work at the company he and his friend set up. Jiang Xiao Yu's own back story is also tinged with sadness, she was orphaned at an early age. Regardless, she is a veritable font of positivity.
Little by little, that positivity starts to rub off on Gu Chuan - but could this bond ever turn romantic, in spite of his condition?

If you checked out my My Top 10 Dramas of 2021 post then you'll know that this drama came in at the No.1 spot, I absolutely loved this drama, I loved the cast as well as the plot, the styling and settings were really pretty. The chemistry between the leads was amazing, making them one of my favourite leading couples in a series, even the OST was amazing and fit perfectly with the story.
This was my first time watching Allen Ren in a drama and I fell in love with him straight away, I thought he was amazing as Gu Chuan and from I've seen, he's more known for doing historical dramas, so seeing him in a drama that was out of his norm made me love his acting in this show even more. I loved that we got some background to the accident that caused him to have a mechanical heart, allowing us to see how he changed after the accident, and allowing us to see how he begins to think more positively the more he's around Jiang Xiao Ning. What I did notice throughout the series was that even when he starts to become more positive, at the back of his mind he's still very glass half empty, and instead of trying to get through things with his family and friends, he feels like his problems will end up those he loves burdened in the thought that one day they will have to go on without him.
I've said before that I absolutely love Xing Fei, she's definitely my favourite Chinese actress, and as expected, I loved her as Jiang Xiao Ning. I love that even though she seems to be unlucky with many aspects of her life, she never stops thinking positively and refuses to allow any negativity to get her down. I loved the chemistry between Xing Fei and Allen Ren, it really made their onscreen relationship seem and feel real. Out of all her roles that I've watched, Xiao Ning is definitely my favourite.
I loved Wayne Liu as Xu Cheng Ran, he's our rich playboy, that at the start thinks money can get him whatever he wants, that is until he meets Zhao Yan, who makes him realise that there's more to life then how much money you have, and to prove how much he cares for her he's willing to give it all up, even when Zhao Yan gets him wrong in that his income is all from being born with a silver spoon, when in fact it's his own hard work.
I loved Chloe Zhao as Zhao Yan, she's a really strong and independent woman that has been scorned in love too many times, that she struggles to let people in, she also works in a very male dominating place, and is often put down and hit on because of that. I love the friendship she has with Xiao Ning, they're best friends but also family and if Xiao Ning needs her she'll be there and vice versa.
I thought Jun Sheng was really good as Tang Xu, he is a case of being manipulated by the wrong people, so much so, he tries to con the people that have manipulated his life, in the hopes he will get what he wants. He has a close friendship with both Xiao Ning and Zhao Yan, but he has more romantic feelings towards Xiao Ning, to the point that he forces his feelings onto her when she tells him she doesn't return his feelings.
Ge Shi Min as Su Man Lin is the typical love rival that will go to new lows to get what she wants and believes she deserves, and also becomes an ally to Tang Xu in the hopes they can get Gu Chuan and Xiao Ning apart. Starting off friendly, her jealousy makes the better of her when she starts to do anything she can to get Xiao Ning out of the company and picture. We do get to see her character grow as she starts to live her career and life for herself rather than in the hopes that one day Gu Chuan will change and fall for her, to which she tries to make amends for the things she's done wrong in the past.
I loved Lulu Xuan as Chen Wen Wen, she is Gu Chuan's ex girlfriend and the girl he saw spending the rest of his life with before his accident, after that he pushed her away. What I loved that this differs from normal dramas when the ex returns, normally it's because they still love them, but she just wants him to be happy and is often on Xiao Ning's side and wants to be someone she can rely on and talk to if she needs it.
I loved how the series ended, but I would love a mini series, to see how their relationship changed after everything that happened, I would love to see Allen Ren and Xing Fei acting together again because I loved their chemistry together.
The whole cast blended well together and I loved that there was a deeper story hidden into the series than just a romantic comedy.
It's definitely a series I will continue to recommend till I'm blue in the face.
