This version might be my favorite even over the new Thailand version. Although in typical Chinese drama fashion, there are a LOT of episodes, it’s really well done. I appreciate the fact that they took the things that made me mad about the Korean version and altered them to flow better and keep you from getting too bitter. For example, the relationship between Shancai and Lei is much better in this one. The Korean adaptation actually made me really upset that they didn’t end up together with as much time as they spend developing a real, deep and meaningful relationship between them. This one focused much more on Shancai and Si and the obstacles they went through instead. I also appreciated the “other woman” being an ally for the Shancai and Si rather than a long lasting menace. And let’s not forget this case is adorable. I hadn’t seen Caesar Wu in anything other than The General’s Lady, so I’m very happy I get Netflix so I could watch him in this one. The one thing I had a hard time with is that Shen Yue is so adorable it’s hard to believe them when they call her average or can’t understand why the guys like her. This is definitely re-watchable, though admittedly, the second time around I did skip several episodes and focused on my favorites.
