However, the arrival of a girl (Sha Zhi) threatened their relationship as both developed feelings for the same girl. Unable to accept the fact that Sha Zhi likes Ling instead, Sheng committed suicide in front of Ling. Since then, Ling had to undergo therapy in a mental institution.
After he is released, he meets Qi Luo, an anti-social girl who was raped by her stepfather when she was sixteen. They find solace in each other, believing that each can help one another overcome their troubled pasts.

PhoEnix's Comments:
This drama is quite dark as it explores morbid issues such as mental illness, sexual harrassment and suicide. But it also indicates that hope exists indeed. It was adapted from the Japanese manga, Mars.

PhoEnix's Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
