    Some people say that meeting the right person at the right time will be wrong, and meeting the person at the wrong time will be right. It seems that the statement is too one-sided, but it seems to be reasonable in "You Broken Promise". Song Huaishi and Xiang Yu met in the arrangement of fate and had a happy beginning. They also made an agreement with each other, but everything was unsatisfactory. When they approached each other, bad news came. She, who was already sensitive and had low self-esteem, lost the courage to get close, but he did not give up. However, there was always a glass door between the two, which blocked their footsteps. When the glass door began to crack due to the erosion of time, the two of them became strangers. One was walking the road to heaven, and the other was walking the road to the future. Both of them broke their trust.
