Chen Xiao's performance as Lin Pingzhi was definitely what led me to watch this drama. Somehow, his performance as Gao Zhan just seemed awkward. I'm not sure if this is due to the directing, but a lot of his actions and expressions seemed somehow out of place. This could just be me, but I felt that some of his expressions seemed somehow anachronistic as well and almost too contemporary.
I also think the same about his scenes with Lu Zhen. It got to the point where in the final scenes of the series, where they were in some sort of rainbow-colored dreamscape, almost seemed like a mocking reminder of how overly saturated and generic their romance was throughout the series.
