I honestly had high expectations for this drama and so it has really REALLY disappointed me.
The overall story was really good. But this drama could get an award for "Dumbest Main Female Lead" Honestly at times I was shocked at just how dense and stupid her character was. I've read other comments and reviews saying she gets better but I really don't agree. She was terribly annoying throughout the whole thing.
The first 10 episodes were so slow. It took a long time before the plot moved forward. The last four episodes were also very disappointing and I found myself just skimming through some of them. Not enough events took place in my opinion. 20 episodes were too long for the content. It could have been a 12 episode drama instead. The writers had a good story idea and they ruined it.
The music...well that's something else. I really didn't like the music. There was maybe one song that I found acceptable and that was it. I don't think the songs really amplified the emotions of the drama or did anything really.
What I DID like were two things: The acting (specifically Jet Chao and Jasper Liu) and Jet Chao's character (Hu Yan Ze). If it weren't for these two things I would have definitely been unable to continue the drama. I felt most of the characters ESPECIALLY Mandy Wei's (An Xi) were very empty, boring, and bland characters. Jet Chao's character (Hu Yan Ze) was the only exception. His character kept me interested and made me develop a lot of mixed feelings for him. You don't know whether to hate him or like him, but I personally settled for liking him. He was the only well written and interesting character in my perspective, and Jet Chao's acting was superb, which only made me like him more. Japer Liu's acting was also brilliant. Mandy Wei's acting was really good, but her character was just unbearable.
Overall, I would not watch this again, and I would ONLY recommend this to someone for Jet Chao and Jasper Liu. No other reason.
