It´s great to have a main character with a defective personality that initially tend to be bad, because through the film we can see how he loses power, loved ones, but still manages to become a better person at the end. For me the best part about the argument and Hou Jie is that the film shows the awareness of guilt and also redemption.
It´s a beautiful movie and has this kind of logically sad endings, so is perfectly understandable why things ended like that, no frustrations.
Other strong points are: Great fight scenes, well-paced development, the beautiful final song, Andy Lau, and of course Jacky Chan

To be honest I only started watching this drama because of the main leads, especially because of Yang Mi, so I didn’t expect much of this drama but is really entertaining. The story is simple and has many funny moments, it is perfect to watch if you don´t want and intricate and thoughtful drama. But for the same reason the storyline lacks in strength and the final episodes feel like the production wanted to end all quickly at the same time they putted problems that were even more dramatic, so the last episodes were just a bit annoying and I felt in a hurry.
The other thing concerns to the main couple. At the very beginning I didn´t know what to think about Yang Mi and Tao together, not because their age gap, but because he really don´t have the same acting experience as Yang Mi. But after few episodes I really found them really cute, and they were the only couple in the whole drama that deserved attention. Actually the only scenes that I kept re-watching were Xie Xiao Fei and Tong Wei ones.
As for the acting, being honest just after re-watching Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms Yang Mi´s acting really lacks of strength mainly because of her character, at the very beginning Tong Wei had the potential to be a strong female lead with established thoughts and personality, but they messed up a good character because of the romantic plot, she loose almost all of her strength and changed a lot. Tong Wei lacks of character unity that´s all, at the end I felt she was rather weak and that upset me so much because Yang Mi is a good actress.
Tao as Xie Xiao Fei did a good job and he´s so cute. His character starts being this kind of rich heir cliché: a jerk with hidden feelings, but the real good thing about Xie Xiao Fei is his evolution so I could see a less annoying and more mature side of him.

Good things:
-Entertaining and has many funny and cute moments
-The main couple :3
-The OST

Bad things:
-Zhao Chen Xi, that girl annoyed me so much
-What the drama did to Shan Shan at the end, I simply found that unnecessarily dramatic and unfair.
-Tong Wei´s development as character
- That freaking part of the house

Weird things:
- Those English parts, I can´t handle that

The first part of the drama is really good, interesting and funny as our leads fall in love, but just after they got together the story fell into a bunch of kind of annoying cliches, that´s the main flaw about the drama.
My main complain about Les Interprètes is about some character´s exposition, personality, development or character unity. For example Cheng Jia Yang is firstly shown as this arrogant jerk, then he changes to a better person and then he changes into this annoyingly noisy male lead who only thinks about his girlfriend. Qiao Fei at fisrt is very independent ad strong and then she is like Cheng Jia Yang, she only thinks about him, what about her mother or her best friend? But they are not as annoying as Gao Jia Ming and Wen Xiao Hua...
Other things: music and locations a really good.
This is not a drama I would like to see in a near future but you can try it, at least the first part and then skip to the end, I would rate the first part like 8 or 9 out 10.
